Wish all West Hams players barr Scott Parker would all do one.

They're useless and an absolute embarrassment.

you ain't the only one mate,think the football bubble is bursting for many people.

You coming monday though???

 

Yeah, I'll be there, that is unless the last remnants of energy aren't finally sapped from me after the Stoke game.

 

I don't even care about the World Cup either, very sad.

Never thought I'd say this but there's just too much football on, especially on the TV. Eventually the bubble was going to burst.

Its probably because you have something better to look forward to.

Think its just that theres too much football on the tele.

I honestly think it has an effect on crowds at lower leagues.

Had hornchurch been at home tonight while west ham were on the box i would guarantee the crowd would be below 180.Had west ham not been on the box,not available on dodgy arab channels or pc's it would be 220 plus.

Personally i would like to see live games only on a sunday,saturday evening and wednesday.

Tuesday nights should be for non league with no distractions on the tele like champions league,play them games on a wednesday so footy nuts can watch both

Its never going to happen because money talks, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

maybe but perhaps if the smaller clubs got together they would be a more powerful force than individually.

The only reason crowds are good at non league level is the majority of people don't watch live football at 3pm on a saturday,although this has changed the last couple of years because of the internet/foreign tv.I think this also has had an effect on the lower crowds this season.

Maybe clubs need to look at playing Fridays.

This country has always prided itself on the pyramid system but the authorities are gradually losing any thoughts of football below the premier league

I just don't believe that first sentence or have I misinterpreted it.??????/

 

Clubs will never stick together because there's too much petty jealousy and bickering, and lets face it we have both done more than our fair share.

maybe not the clubs but the leagues themselves,that way each league could involve the clubs.Lets face it,pretty much all clubs have fans who support their local team and another league side.

I know many hx fans who would watch hx on a tuesday and league side on a wednesday but they usually play the same night.

I would imagine that the majority of people that go to non league do so because its to expensive to watch the big games live now.

Still think there's too many clubs and not enough supporters at our level.

i think more people would go non league if there wasn't the distractions of top flight football,especially in the week.

Surely it wouldn't be too hard to play non league tuesdays and league football wednesdays,i know some clubs have exceptions but for the majority it would work.

Even 10 more people per club would bring in £150 plus a game(once they have bought a drink,food,maybe a bit more etc),say you played 10 tuesday games at home in a season,thats £1500 plus,money that could be spent improving facilities to entice more fans in

What was the beer like in the clubhouse? Any real ales on tap?

 

Had two nice Welton's ales in Moons last night, that's a Horsham brewery. Old Ale and Duck House Bitter. Very nice.
