Cerebus Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Excuse me, chaps. I have a problem with all this... Holmer will be relegated 'cos their ground aint up to standard? Why does any step 5 club need 100 seats and another 100 spaces under cover? There were only a dozen clubs at our level in the whole of the South East of England who "officially" averaged 100 plus attendances in 2008/9 and as 2 of those were Hellenic clubs, whose figures are famously fictional, we can't trust the stats. I believe Kentish Town have 2,500 seats but the club were watched by an average of about 30 people last season. Holmer got 800 spectators in the ground for a friendly last weekend. No problems, dead comfortable,loads of space and very safe but Watchet Lane isn't good enough for SSML Premier Div football next season? Has someone at the FA got thir priorities very wrong? Holmer are totally amateur, indeed, their players pay for the privilege of playing SSML footy and there is no doubt that although they they struggled for most of the season, the side they put out from the beginning of March was easily top half of the League quality (yes, I know that they got stuffed at Hertford, but they didn't have a 'keeper or any defenders that day!) Let's be honest, virtually every ground in the League falls foul of the standards as per the letter of the law. Maybe ours and Cockfosters are a bit easier to pick on than most (but at least they ARE our grounds!) We only have enough seats and cover for three times our average attendance and prefer to spend our income on developing the infrastructure and future of the club to enable top class totally amateur footy for kids and adults to survive in the Wycombe area. We knew we would probably be relegated 'cos of our facilities.We just hoped that sanity would prevail. Holmer deserve better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhodes Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Willo the Cat - Do you mean Boswell or myself as I've no idea, I don't believe that it will be Silver Jubilee Park as apparently Kentish Town burned their boats with Kingsbury London Tigers over something. How are you keeping by the way, you've never divulged why you suddenly severed ties with the Club giving the impression it wasn't on amicable terms.

Rhodes Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Well send me a PM or a text then as I'm curious, my feeling is that you have learnt your lesson the hard way and have seen the Club in their true colours, it's also interesting that Nellie hasn't posted for sometime and I'll wager that it's the last we've seen of her on here.

Willo the Cat Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 no way am I going to PM or text you. I prefer your random typing much more fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhodes Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Willo the Cat - But you admit there has been a falling out, that's why you and Nellie have both parted company with the Club, it's no coincidence that she hasn't posted for weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhodes Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Well that's an admission of guilt if ever I saw one, you were always so straight forward and transparent particularly when I first introduced you to Kentish Town in December 2006 and you proudly made your bow for the Club in the infamous Cockfosters game at Claremont Road, you were like a dog with two tails. What has happened to you over the last year or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhodes Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Why don't you just come clean rather than play silly guessing games, obviously something has gone on as Nellie hasn't posted for weeks now, my guess is that she has gone back to the delights of Teeside never to return, she was like a duck out of water south of Watford.

Horace Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 She still posts on the replacement SSML forum! And she pops up in Bitch's box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhodes Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Horace - Really, that's surprising, has Nellie indicated that there has been a parting of the ways, I suppose to be fair you can't really blame her for not wanting to come on here to show her face as she would be taken to the cleaners and ridiculed.

Rhodes Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Horace - You couldn't be more wrong, Nellie has made the likes of Peter Mandleson and Alistair Campbell seem transparent with her spin and it has backfired on her dramatically as Kentish Town finished bottom of the pile thanks to the Club being systematically destroyed when the World was their oyster less than a year ago.
