that bloke last nite who walked past the barmy army and started mouthing them off and no1 listened to him. it was at the time wen the ref was booking seedal.

[Guest]

Can't say I noticed, but I did see that fool in the dodgy blue and white home knitted Chelsea bobble hat..........what a plonker............wonder who he was?????

[Martin]

I think I am starting to put a few names to faces....

[BFR]

Mark, he mouthed a little but only because of people bringing up MK Dons. Besides which, I couldn't really understand him as he was either drunk, retarded or northern - possibly a combination of the three.

[Radders]

Was that the one I managed to upset when I called him an MK Dons fan?

[Guest]

You'd be upset if someone called you a Wycombe fan, calling an AFC Wimbledon fan a MK Dons supporter is lower than low...where's you're bloody fans solidarity!

Call me old fashioned but I've always found that fans "solidarity" disappears the second the ref blows the whistle to start the game!

[Guest]

Sorry, but i'm not into giving other supporters abuse, i'd rather save my voice for shouting on my team. Suppose that's why i'm a non league supporter, and not interested in the premiership cos i enjoy the banter and chat with team supporters, and don't want to be looking over my shoulder on the way to the train station.

If i want to take out my frustrations i'll squish some slugs on the allotment.

A clear case of different strokes for different folks I suppose!

[Radders]

Brighton, I don't think anyone behind the goal was being malicious in what they were saying at all. Whenever we mentioned MK Dons it was basically us lot just messing about and not involving the AFC fans. This one guy just happened to walk past when we were making one comment and said something back, although as BFR said he wasn't the most pleasant of fellows anyway. I'm sure the majority of people behind the goal, along with myself, have every respect for the AFC fans and staff for what they have done with their club.

[GarySTFC]

Fair play to them for what they've done, but the banter for them has to be MK based. It's not malicious in any manner, just meant as match banter. I hate the Franchise as much as the next supporter, but it has to be said for a laugh.

 

Did you know we won the FA Cup in 1888?

[Staines-upon-Thames Rebel]

Not that we ever have questions asked about where we play and not having our own ground!

[slough_womble]

I would like to say that not all of us AFC fans are like him!! I went with my Son and step-dad who were both cheering on Slough and we stood in front of the 'shed' next to some other Slough fans on the half-way line and enjoyed the match, well I can't say I enjoyed the 2nd that much, and the atmosphere of the 'hard core' AFC fans.

 

I must say that most fans do not like being refered to about MK Dons but I do understand that most rival fans will be expected to chant about them. However pls remember that this is different situ to anyother and not like Slough getting chanted about Windsor as MK Dons used to be Wimbledon so it's a unique and sensitive matter.

 

However good luck to Slough in both cups and seems you got a new fan in form of my son.....

[GarySTFC]

"not like Slough getting chanted about Windsor"

 

Maybe not to you lot it's not, but it's a sensitive issue to us. Maybe not on the same scale, but still a sensitive matter none the less.

[slough_womble]

Sorry Gary i'm not saying that chanting about Windsor and Slough playing at 'home' isn't sensitive as am fully aware it is as have lived in Slough all my life and even had a letter printed in the local backing your move to Britwell. Wwhat I was trying to say is your posistion is nothing new for instance Wimbledon groundshared with Palace for years but with MK it was a case of them taking our club away, pinching our history but changing the identity. The only case that comes close is Clydebank when Airdrie done the same to them but even they didn't claim the history as theirs...... I have also written to the local press again this week highlighting your need for a ground in Slough and that if can manage the travelling support of AFC you can manage most crowds which was I understand one of the concerns of local residents....

[Ted]

Slough Womble, you make a fair point. The MK Dons bit was only banter, but so is away fans reminding us that we are homeless, and that isn't always well received, so perhaps people in glass houses (us) shouldn't throw stones.In reality I think most non league fans really admire what AFC fans have done.

 

Hope your son and step-dad bring you more often, and thanks for writing to the press. On that point, were you aware that the council is considering building houses on some of the greener bits of Kennedy Park as a way of partially funding the regeneration scheme, with the council tax payers having to fund the rest? At least with Deaners proposals it was only the waste land that was being built upon.

[slough_womble]

Cheers for that Ted and no I wasn't aware of the flats although part of my letter was about the lack of regeneration and the fact us residents on Britwell will still have to pay higher council tax for living in a parish where we don't now actually have a church.

 

Although it has now been reported in today's Observer pg.11 that 14 'keyworker' flats will be built on the land behind the church....Funny as a resident I had no idea about this and just goes to show that IMO the reason Mr.Deaner's plans were not acted upon was because some local cllrs live near the park but opposite end to church where new building work will go ahead..I asked this Quest. before but has Slough Town supporters thought about getting someone to stand for election and getting the team highlighted in the community through the local schools?

[Guest]

I thought it was great. Not just the result but seeing so many proper wombles brave the weather/traffic to get to the game. I thought everyone conducted themselves perfectly well. Of course fans are going to be sensitive about certain things but hey lets not get it out of proportion.

Two clubs playing each other in a situation which were it not for the fans I have no doubt NEITHER team would currently exsist.

We both have a huge amount to be proud of.

 

As for judging fans based on one indivisual I suppose it is inevitable but hardly fair. I was dreading the Walsall game, heard how they had some real bad lads and would be out for trouble if they lost. Yet I met/spoke/drank with loads of them that day, gentlemen one and all and they stood their round. Never tried to belittle us or come over all high and mighty. Then when Yeading came, what a bunch of muppets they all were before and after the game.

Now I am sure others had different perspectives cos they met the nasty Walsall and the nice Yeading fans. But you can only call it as you see it.

[Guest]

Slough Womble I read your letter in the Slough Observer, very well done. I also live in Britwell and wanted a football club, but one thing I dont want is more houses. When the council carried out their so called "Survey" I believe they only asked 500 residents and as you and I both know there is quite a lot more people on the estate than that. If what you say is true than I think we should get our own petition up against the building of more houses. Lets see if the Council come back with "But the people of Britwell dont want more houses" like they did with the proposed building of the football club.

[slough_womble]

I totally agree as I for one did not see a survey and as for a petition that is a way of finding out how all the residents feel about what could be done to regenerate Britwell or built on the Kennedy Park land as I for one drive past the area every day and never see anyone on it.....I do feel though that Slough Supporters should be the ones involved in any pettition as you will then have an idea of whether the football club would have a future on the area and can plan what to do next
