Hope this helps you Ajax. Trevor B did explain this to me recently and maybe he will add to this.

Concord are classed as a "non-elite" club as far as I know. In other words their ground is not up to National Conference standard. Either way its a load of old tosh.

[Gary C]

Concord switched their tie to Potters Bar because of pitch issues, so as Potters Bar are "not elite", they can have home fans. I think.

I still enjoyed the coverage yesterday. Yes there were problems I know, but I go into it realising it is not Sky, BT Sport etc. Etc. James, Groomy and Gary do an excellent job. So thanks again to all.in these difficult times. Whilst it took a good few hours to get over the final score, I of course realise it is largely due to the fact of where we now are under the Steve King guidance. We/he/the club have done so well that a defeat hurts. Thats how good it has become.

[Ajaxman DFC]

Thanks Gary. Non elite clubs can indeed have home fans in attendance when hosting an elite club but away fans are not allowed in.
How that is actually enforced shows how ludicrous the rule is.
That famous piece reminicent of the dialogue from Monty Python's Life of Brian would spring to mind while queing at the turnstiles,
"Crucifiction?"
"No, I'm on holiday"
"In you come then"
"Nah, I'm only joking. I'm here to be crucified".

As for Jonty's observations, I totally agree with him that Concord's ground grading theory is a load of old tosh.
I would think that any club who is a member of the National Leagues is currently classified as an elite club without exception.

[The 5th Searcher]

I have to admit Gary, Groomy & the DFCTV guys did do an excellent job yesterday and I apologise for any harsh comments I may have made regarding the coverage.
Obviously now understanding that the issue’s & streaming problems were completely out of the clubs control.
The commentary was very good & fair, no bias towards Dartford at all.

[Kebabus]

Hope it’s not just me but the coverage should be biased. The financial impact of not progressing in these times will hurt, slightly agree with Reg that the loss hurts more because of how bloody brilliant we have been since SK took over.

Hopefully Chelmsford will be on the end of a backlash

Great interview with SK:-

I'm still convinced Elliotts overhead kick was a penalty as well.
