Dorking Wanderers owner-manager Marc White has revealed details of a 12-game stadium ban he received following a confrontation with match officials in a car park. The 52-year-old, who founded the National League South club in 1999, spoke about the incident on the podcast 'In The Mixer'.
White said he was sent off just 15 minutes into a match at York City while hungover, which left him in a bad mood. After the game, as he was getting into a taxi, he spotted the four officials leaving the ground and confronted them in the car park, leading to the lengthy ban.
The outspoken boss also recalled a clash with his own fans after a home game against Slough Town. With his side trailing 4-2 in a hailstorm, most supporters left early, prompting White to tell them in a post-match interview not to return. He later received emails from fans apologising, including one who said he had to pick up his wife from Sainsbury's.
White acknowledged that many people have urged him to tone down his behaviour, but he remains unapologetic. 'I'm going to be the most passionate one out there,' he said, adding that he has even told fans to 'f**k off' on multiple occasions.
