They were still wanding and vigorously searching people going in through the Pearl Street turnstiles closest to the Main Stand. Admittedly, they eased off once the queues started forming, but watching from afar it was ridiculous and totally unnecessary, especially given the profile of the fans they were doing it to.
Contrast this with Aldershot last week where everyone was waved in with a smile and nothing else.
Let's be fair, though, the stewards are only operating to instructions from above. We were told and warned about increased searches, etc, at the Carlisle and Scunthorpe games, which is understandable to an extent, but it has continued against the likes of Forest Green, Brackley, Woking and Boston, and with little consistency in application.
"Jim", as you would expect, is fully aware that we conceded from set-pieces in midweek (4:41 on and they will no doubt have focused on that in training since then.
They also have another two league fixtures between playing us and Southport.
We beat Aldershot 4-0 the week before Spennymoor last season and were then only denied victory at Woking by a late penalty.
I imagine Southend's upcoming game v Southport will make minimal difference on their preceding league games, especially as they need to be winning them to get into the play offs.
8 league braces, the most since Joe Hargreaves got 7 (including a hat-trick in 1946/47). He also got another brace in the FA Cup.
Two more needed to equal Albert Whitehurst's league club record of 10 in 1926/27; three more needed to equal Albert's all-competition's record from the same season.
For starters, you would have to look at how crucial those goals were. Both teams have won the vast majority of their games well before stoppage time, so maybe the difference in those goals isn't as important as it might seem.
From memory, York gained a point on Boxing Day in added time, and then two points v Hartlepool a few weeks ago, so that's three points without looking at their other added time goals.
Dale gained two points at Solihull. Gilmour's winning goal v Southend was in the 90th minute, so not quite in stoppage time.
Dale have also won more games than York, but drawn half as many and lost twice as many.
We have also lost only two points in added time all season (on Tuesday night). No idea what the York figure is.
What I don't get is why we had a sub keeper (Josh Lillis) on the bench in the National League Cup and FA Trophy games, unless it's a competition requirement.
