My first ever trip to Plainmoor, having moved down here last year, took two of my sons.

Thought it was a turgid affair, both sides cancelled each other out. Their defender Broadbent had a good game and snuffed out any threat from DW. SDM also had a good game but so did their winger Harper. Armani Little has really improved since he was released by my hometown club Oxford and most of his free kicks threatened: the problem was Eastleigh were good in the air at the back and it would’ve taken Peter Crouch to beat them. The game just needed someone fast and tricky to run at the defence. I thought both keepers stayed alert and made important saves despite having little to do for 85mins.

The officials - two of them were shocking and their interpretation of good teamwork between themselves was not undermining each others’ poor decisions. The ref was conned throughout the game and was barely in control. And I say this as a qualified South Devon ref myself. I would’ve backed myself to do better than both of them. Thought the assistant on the Bristow stand side did well though.

The welcome at the club for a newbie like me was good, nice atmosphere in Boots & Laces, and good vocal support from you guys despite the dross being served up on the pitch. I expect I’ll be back when I’m free, my next game can’t be any worse than this from an entertainment perspective can it?

Thanks guys.

I'm a local parks football referee so often been told I'm blind.
So, either bring my dog plus a white stick and dark glasses or phone the club for confirmation?

Never taken my dog to a game before but don't see why it would be an issue.

Hi guys.

First-time from Wales here. Always watched your progress from afar, usually follow Oxford It's or latterly Newport County near where I live.

I'm on holiday down in Devon til Friday, just me and my well-behaved dog. Fancy watching tonight's game but would have to bring the hound as I can't leave him alone in the caravan. Odd request I know but are dogs generally allowed in the home end, preferably standing?

Many thanks
