Glasshoughton and Mick Norbury were hoping to go to Benidorm at the end of the season
Mick Norbury admits poor discipline is costing Glasshoughton Welfare in more ways than one.
Glasshoughton have had eight red cards in the opening two months of the season and they have also played with nine men on three occasions.
Their disciplinary issues have heavily affected their Toolstation NCEL Division One form and Norbury is frustrated by it all.
Norbury told Non League Yorkshire: “Our discipline is a massive problem because we can’t keep eleven men on the field. It has to improve as quick as possible.
“I don’t know why we have the problem. I asked them at Dronfield last week: ‘is it me because of what I used to be like’?
“I told them I don’t want to see it. What I would say though, out of the eight red cards, there has been no malice apart one of the two at Dronfield.
“The club are gutted. We agreed (at the start of the season) that the players were going to pay their own fines.
“Nobody gets paid because we are saving up to go to Benidorm at the end of the season as a group.
“We should have about £1100 towards it, but we only have £400 because of the fines. It looks like we’re going to Cleethorpes in a berth caravan instead.”
Glasshoughton head into the home game with promotion candidates Bottesford Town on the back of four defeats and a draw in the league.
Norbury added: “Our form hasn’t been great recently.
“The frustrating thing about it is that we’re doing well.
“You look at Dronfield last week, if we had taken our chances the game would have been dead and buried.
“For the last three games, finishing has been the difference.”
Glasshoughton are doing their bit for Non League Day by allowing adults wearing an international shirt into Leeds Road for a pound.
The admission is £3 for those not wearing an international jersey.
