Today’s scheduled fixture at Welling United was abandoned prior to kick-off following a serious incident involving a member of our management team.

Police attended the ground and, following their involvement, the match was unable to proceed. Our manager is receiving appropriate medical care and the club is supporting him fully.

The matter has been referred to the relevant authorities, including the league and The FA, and we are seeking formal advice. As this is now subject to ongoing processes, the club will not be making any further comment at this time.

We thank supporters for their understanding.
