I was at the game last night-the truth of Nigel D

[Nigel D]

Firstly I admit I have been on a bit of a wind up and I'm not who my

profile states.I am however a WHUFC s/t holder and last year did go to quite a few Chins

home & away games.

 

Last night I went with my mate by car to Carlshalton for my first Chins

away game this season.

 

The first thing I noticed was the programmes had run out and the small

group of about 15 Chins fans behind the goal, one with a drum wearing a

Chins shirt with "Hammer 4 Life" on the back (Was that you Urchinman?) and

carrying a drum. Second half they had a sing song with "Come to see the

Urchins, you've only come to see the Urchins." No response at all fron the

Home crowd.

 

My mate and me were standing on the very impressive side terracing with the

home fans who I might had were delighted with a point and thus us not

gaining on them. Both teams had good chances late on but a draw was fair

result.

 

I thought Douglas was appalling and he was rightly subbed mid way through

the 2nd half.

 

The two penalty misses were hilarious, both aimed high over the bar, my

mate & me were looking pretty stupid cheering the 1st miss in the home end

but thankfully he missed again saving our blushes.

 

On the way home we passed URCHINETTE on the M25, we know this cos she had

it written on the back of her car.

 

See you Sat.

haha dunno mate, my driver spotted it to be fair, I only caught very quick glimpse.

 

 

[Jimboy]

[color:"blue"] She must have had a drink .... flying that low ! [/color]

[Nigel D]

Was you behind the goal both halfs Jimbo?

 

The side terracing was quality.

[Jimboy]

Yeah ... but there was about 25ish urchins.

[Nigel D]

alot of them were young'uns.

 

I could here the singing from the side where I was , all their kids could muster was a couple of "Top of the League" chants & not very loud.

[Urchin_Rat_Man]

Yeah that was me Nige, but it said Hornchurch 4 life, NOT Hammer for life. Did you come in the minibus? There was only 5 under 18's there anyway.

 

[Nigel D]

Sorry Hornchurch 4 Life, no come with my mate by car.

 

We were standing on the main side terrace.

[Urchin_Rat_Man]

well there was a couple of hundred people standing on that side, so i couldn't pick 2 certain people out. Why weren't you standin with the rest of the Urchin Fans?

[Nigel D]

well in 2nd half, we were standing down your end and apart from the bloke on his own by the corner flag, my mate & me were the two nearest your end and no one around us.

[Urchin_Rat_Man]

Well i weren't really looking. I was watching the game. So why weren't you standing wiv the rest of the Urchin Fans?

[Nigel D]

I preferred the view from the side plus I liked standing on the wide terracing, made a pleasant change from seating every week following West Ham.

[Lord]

You could probably count the number seats at Carshalton on one hand, but I did like the covered terracing there, like the good ole' days at football, massive terraces, heaving with fans (well sort of)!

[Digger The Cat]

I'll get told off for this.

 

Sorry who was appalling?

 

 

 

I rest my case.

 

 

 

 

[Urchino]

Told Off <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> ,get over it my point was the way in which it was said it was rafther juvenile and under hand way to critise one of OUR players, please say that you do want to be proved wrong rafther than right Digger ?

 

Dougie didn't have a great match, but in matches like Carshalton in the cup and Thurrock , Dougie proved that quality just doesn't disapear over night.

[Nigel D]

hope the cardiff/WHU game will be on in the bar after Unc.

[Uncle Urchin]

[color:"blue"]You have got to be joking .... that would be worse than ringing the bell and asking people to drink up. [/color] <img src="/images/graemlins/achso.gif" alt="" />

[Nigel D]

I was serious Jimbo, alot of regular chins fans are Hammers fans first.
