"Scunthorpe and Buxton have been ordered to replay their National League North game, which was abandoned in the 96th minute after a torrential downpour."

I know it's probably what the rules say has to happen, but it does seem a little ridiculous, on the face of it.

Astonishing decision. Buxton must be furious.

Not if they play at their peak.

Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink!

Barwell were 4-0 down at half time at Alvechurch.
They've just scored a 97th minute equaliser.

Just saw a clip of the equaliser, hideous goal. Proper non-league stuff. Love it.

I’ve been reading about this. A fair bit of it played out on Twitter. The bloke is clearly a twat.

A fit and proper Twat

You can just tell whats going on when you read an official club statement and it’s wall to wall ‘me’ this ‘I’ that. I think he even referred to a witch hunt by The Athletic and some shady character with a vendetta against him.

Such a ****er this can happen, sounds like it’s been a long time coming for Scunny though and the bloke he bought the club from wasn’t much better.

Really putting the **** in Scunthorpe….

No money, no home and no hope: Scunthorpe United on the brink of collapse

Scunthorpe's owner, David Hilton, has announced he will stop funding the club and play home games 16 miles away at Gainsborough

theathletic.com

• The club has confirmed all future home games beyond next weekend will be played at Gainsborough Trinity instead of Glanford Park.
• Several supporters critical of Hilton’s stewardship have been banned from attending home games.
• The Football Association is looking into an offensive message, purported to be from Hilton, which appeared on social media. Hilton denies sending it.
• Strained finances include a host of outstanding bills, including County Court Judgments (CCJs), winding-up petitions and money owed to former players, the EFL and the taxman.
• Players and staff are due to be paid on September 29, but Hilton’s decision to withdraw all funding leaves grave doubts over Scunthorpe’s ability to meet payroll.
• A board assembled by Hilton at the start of this season has been broken up. Keith Waters, chief operating officer of golf’s European PGA Tour, resigned two weeks ago and has since been joined by solicitors Ian Dawson and Tahina Akther.

…

A post under Hilton’s childhood name, David White, on Facebook gave a forthright message to one fan.

“I’ve said il [sic] carrying on working hard but won’t give that club my children’s inheritance knowing my days there are numbered,” it said. “I can always leave the keys under the mat for you if you like and your club will be gone in a week.”
…
It is two and a half weeks since The Athletic detailed how Hilton has used four different surnames and in April 2015, when known as David Anderson, was sentenced to two years in prison after pleading guilty to 15 counts of fraud by false representation.

We all call Prem clubs for their attitude to many things, and then you also have this going on.

I used to love football. Unsavoury things have always been around but my love for the game, like a lot of people, isn't quite the same nowadays.
