You wouldn't have known which was the team from the higher level tonight. Knaresborough's keeper hasn't had to work. Very disappointing.

Disappointing doesn't even cut it,added to what I thought was a lack lustre performance on Saturday any hope of a play off place is rapidly diminishing.
And yet again a young supporter defiles our hard earned reputation as a family club by acting like an idiot towards the opposition fans,no doubt alcohol had its part to play.
One solution might be for the supporters club coach not to set off at a time when a couple of hours needs to be killed in the pub before kick off.
These are not grown men who know their limit and can handle a couple of pints they're kids most of them I suspect not even legally allowed alcohol who just want to look big in front of their mates the result is embarrassment for the genuine Guiseley supporter.
If I'm wrong I'm happy to discuss it with a Guiseley Supporters club elected official.

We had the chance to go through to a cup final tonight, did anyone tell the players because it certainly didn't look ike it until we brought on the three subs? There was no intensity or movement as we passed the ball across the back four and gave their keeper his easiest game of the season. And what has Callum Chambers done to be sat on the bench when we lack guile or inspiration in midfield? Players need a kick up the rear after tonight and Saturdays turgid performances, so come on Andy decide your best eleven and lets get some momentum behind our bid for the play-offs starting with Lancaster on Saturday.

Right Michael,but as you know as well as I do these sort of incidents both inside and outside the ground on the coach carrying our club name are becoming more frequent.
And I agree its something the club should be dealing with,but my understanding is that it's becoming more of a problem again in football generally and is being dealt with by more and better stewarding.

Ann, the SC has acted, banning several supporters recently for their behaviour while travelling with the SC, what I will agree with is the alcohol situation, I myself do not travel with the SC anymore as it has become more about a booze cruise than following a football team |

The youths invariably don’t come to the pub presumably because most wouldn’t get served. |

That was Knaresborough's biggest attendance of the season.

As has been said above, the SC didn't run a coach to the game last night but seem to be blamed whenever anything untoward occurs at a Guiseley match. The youths in question were allowed into the ground with a bag full of alcohol, were clearly drunk and there was no stewarding in the ground from what I could see to act as a deterrent. They shouldn't have been allowed into the ground in the first place but after they were, they should have been ejected as soon as their behaviour became unacceptable (but by who?). An early arrival by the police would have helped in this situation. This is a problem in wider society, including football, that needs addressing by the relevant authorities. GAFC can play their part, as can the SC but let's not blame them every time there is social disorder at a football match that Guiseley are involved with. This behaviour is unacceptable and definitely needs to be dealt with before it puts more people off attending football matches.

Thank you for the above replies and its a shame that most of the incidents of bad behaviour by the youths happen at away games, the stewarding of which we have no control and I am aware that it's not all of the young supporters,but what I see happening is that older supporters who would automatically try to eleviate some of the more anti social behaviour by the youngsters are choosing not to travel on the SC coach .
Maybe during the close season advice can be taken as to how other clubs are dealing with this and a solution found,I have seen clubs send their own stewards to away games making known trouble makers more easily identified.

The issue of young supporters' behaviour has been on the agenda of the last few SC committee meetings. I am sure specific suggestions as above will be welcomed. It is certainly a challenge for away games.

I am sorry to labour the point,someone mentioned earlier that some of these youths have been banned for 15months,do I take it that's just for SC coach travel and not from attending games.
Much more difficult to enforce unless photos are taken, issued to stewards at turnstiles outside the home ground and pinned on board in turnstiles.

Not much to say about the game but a Poor result last night and in desperate need of a striker. Saw someone say the supporters coach needs to take action, there wasn’t a coach last night and as someone who was recently banned off the coach it wasn’t their fault at stafford or Knaresborough. One person let us down at both games and the supporter’s coach took action after the stafford game by banning a fair few. It’s important we identify the individual culprits and not just a whole group of kids as apart from one, none of them did anything wrong yesterday. Youth is the future of the club so wiping them out is only going to set us back.
