Away at Dagenham in Capital League on Wednesday

[Digger_Dagger05]

Oh sorry - If orgot you beat our youth/reserve team. How happy you must be, I can't believe that the highlight of your season is beating our kids do you not think that is pathetic?

[and1inthetree]

*obsessed*

[Kel]

Only pathetic thing was that the cream of your "Academy", plus your Club Captain, couldn't give our "li'l old pub team" a decent game!

[A Very Simple Dagger]

Club captain - Lee Goodwin

 

Didn't play . . .

[CraigDavid]

still crap.

[Digger_Dagger05]

Not got a lot to say now have you - thought you were being all clever when you know f*ck all

[Bridge]

and your point is....

[Digger_Dagger05]

Hornchurch Fans - sorry AFC Hornchurch Fans no nothing about football they are quick to mouth off and then they get it wrong and look like fools yet again!

[Bridge]

Really, well if your so fcking clever then pi$$ off. I'm pretty sure you wont be missed big man!!!!

[NotTheRealSteveWest]

Do you have to practice a lot to become this annoying?

 

Seems to me, as usual, our "little old club" seems to bother supporters of other such "bigger clubs" but when you all get onto our forum you have nothing constructive to say, therefore you will not receive any niceties in return.

 

But still, our "little old club" that you hate so much seems to take up a hell of a lot of your time. Would this time not be best served supporting your "big club"?

 

Don't get me wrong Dagger(s), I'm not singling you out, as it seems we have attracted quite a lot of interest this season from various reprobates intent on seeing us "fall out of sight" in our "pub league", unfortunately I cannot see this happening, the "non-existent" support that you all talk of, speaks for itself, take a look in the non league paper and the attendance. We are getting twice as many as some teams two leagues above us.

 

I dread to think how many more supporters this club will attract as we rise from the ashes and head back up the leagues.

 

Or maybe you have thought about this too and that's what you are worried about? Well worry no more, we won't let you miss out, just phone the club, I'm sure there is a supporters club you could join..... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

 

As for us, we are just here for the football. Taking the rise out of the daggers et al is just a bonus that comes with being a Hornchurch supporter.

[A Very Simple Dagger]

So when you was riding high, looking dead certs for promotion to the Conference, how many were you attracting then . . . 600 or so was it . . .

 

By the way, NTRSW, most impressed by the 'et al' in the final sentence of your post, didn't know you had it in you . . .

[NotTheRealSteveWest]

Well we don't like to give too much away.

 

The point I'm trying to make is that we are doing quite well on support and that will only get bigger if we have a relatively successful season.

 

I don't see why we won't be attracting the same average crowd as last season by this time next year.

 

Who knows, maybe even a few more??

[A Very Simple Dagger]

I agree there, actually, although if Grays continue to do well, the other 'loyal' 300 Urchins that seem to have wandered down to their place may be gone forever . . .

[NotTheRealSteveWest]

In all honestly I doubt very much if they took more than a handfull of our fans.

[A Very Simple Dagger]

So, your average is down from about 600 to 300 theirs is up from about 450 to 1200 and you think only about four or five of them watched Hornchurch last season . . .

 

Fair enough . . .

there's lies, damn lies, then statistics simpledogger.

 

the 300 could be anywhere. at home, west ham, grays, spurs, arsenal - some may even be at dagenham.

 

similarly, grays new support could have come from any of the above.

[A Very Simple Dagger]

You're right in a way Mr Tree, statistics can be used to justify any chosen position . . . as you have just ably demonstrated . . .

[NotTheRealSteveWest]

Hmm, Tresor Kandol eh?

 

He's had more clubs than Treeboy had hotdog's at the last home game!!!!

[and1inthetree]

he was quite tasty for purfleet against us last season.

 

not as tasty as the hotdogs on saturday though... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cheeburga.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cheeburga.gif" alt="" />
