For the record, we've had that treatment a few times ourselves so I totally get your frustration with the officials. Hopefully the Club and fans showed you the respect you deserve.

I won’t keep popping up on here I am glad to put record straight. Absolutely the club and fans were class throughout. Thanks again

Totally agree.

It looks as if I completely misread their management team rants during the match and, as a consequence, my comments in the match thread were out of order. I unreservedly apologise to them.

No offence taken... rather be a thin Steve Evans than a fat one... haha

Great result yesterday by the way, great to see.

What impressed me about Winchester, was the fantastic relationship there seems to be between, the management, players and fans, great to see.

I think I know how the confusion happened. The Winchester city staff have a twitter account where they showed the Torquay United autographed ball and the newly signed Winchester ball as mentioned by their manager Davo on October 20th with #ebay. They then retweeted a supporter's tweet

and the Winchester staff account replied "Tell me about it mate! "

In retrospect, just a bit of banter but somehow through a misunderstanding the excellent podcast National Obsession were quite upset by it.
Lets move on!
