Chippenham Town director Sandie Webb has moved to quell fears of a rift between the board and manager Adie Mings ahead of tonight's crucial re-arranged play-off semi-final at Halesowen.
The Bluebirds board and Mings were at loggerheads before Tuesday's abandoned game over the booking of the Swindon Town players' coach.
Secretary Chris Blake claimed on Tuesday Mings had booked it without the board's permission as he had
already ordered travel from their usual service, Coachstyle. The directors backed down, allowing the players to travel, but they went separately.

Protocol was not followed,'' said Blake. He went and booked it and once the players knew, we were not going to say sorry they couldn't have it.''
The game was abandoned due to a waterlogged pitch after 32 minutes with Chippenham leading 3-2. They will replay the game tonight and Webb says any rift with Mings is wide of the mark as they have already agreed to back him in the summer.
She said: "Adie came in for a meeting last Monday and said this is what I want and I would like the board to back me.'
"We came back and said it was fine and it was the best meeting I have been to for 18 months.
Just trust in the board, we have not let the club down yet."
If Town win tonight they will have less then 48 hours to prepare for the play-ff final at Team Bath on Saturday.
