John Pearce Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 I refer in particular to the recent thread regarding the lack of food, drinks etc. available to visiting reserve sides. In particular the recent visit of Hornchurch Reserves to Stonebridge Road. If the thread was removed for no other reason than it was an embarrassment to the club, then under no circumstances should it have been removed. The comments from supporters and/or officials of Hornchurch were very valid, it was a poor show on behalf of the Fleet and if the directors and powers that be were embarrassed by their comments than so be it, they deserve to be embarrassed. Providing drinks and food to opposing teams after a match is nothing more than common decency. If the thread was removed because of comments by Fleet Fanatic, then it is he that should have been censured not everyone that contributed to the thread. He should know that this forum is not for anyone's own petty prejudices, whatever they be. Either the way the thread should perhaps have been frozen and not removed.

Jeff Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Is it not possible just to remove the comment from FF rather than the whole thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure that could of been an option. Or was it removed under pressure from the club as they were embarrassed by the whole affair??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up until I last looked at it, the only person who had resorted to 'slanging' was Fleet Fanatic. I therefore repeat, it was he that should have been censured not those that were making a valid point about the poor showing of the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 The last time I looked Golden Boots and billy were having the odd dig too. Don't get me wrong, it's a disgrace what went on - for an apparently professional club it's just out of order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Boots Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 What i said was not really a 'dig' jimmy, just incenses me what G&N FC did to AFC hornchurch, it is hard enough to gain respect as an Essex Senior League Club as it is!! FleetFanatic decided to become personal and remark on old rivalries between himself and horncurch, who i hasten to add do not exist anymore, hence AFC Hornchurch!! anyway, it is old news now. wish G&N FC all the best for the rest of the season, regards, GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan W (GNFC) Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Still think a letter to Brian at the club would have served a more useful purpose, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

American FLEET FAN No1 Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 The AFC Hornchurch Reserves debacle seems to have been a massive own goal for the Fleet. The Chairman should,(and appears to be doing so) apologise! The Club was obviously embarrassed by their own fans slant on the whole affair. Deleting the thread is not the way to go! This,(in case people don't realise, or is supposed to be) the fans focus forum, not a club forum, nor a Club mods forum! The Club should not control this forum, and mods should not be acting on the clubs behalf! We have had this sought of thing before, and we will probably get it again! If this was becoming a personal attack,(on the Fleet forum? What ever next?)then the mods should take apropriate action againt the individuals, not delete a whole thread! Sits back and waits for the usual personal attack from the usual people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FleetFanatic Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Yes, here we go again indeed. I wondered how long before your cage was rattled. Based on your comment, I'm allowed to say this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This forum IS for Gravesend & Northfleet and is hosted on the afore-mentioned website. I do wish that you could notice the difference between the two situations.

The way you lot are acting I'd be surprised if you do get one. Why not keep this to yourselves and off the forum, write a letter and then you'd probably get an apology. Or you could come on here and slag us all off. Then you could come down to our ground during the week and smash up the office, you could burn our ground down. Then when all the damage is done you could stand out side in the pouring rain stomping your feet until an apology is received. You'd make national news; there'd be a little comic in the times of a child throwing his toys out of the pram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who exactly is your argument with? Or can't you remember. It wasn't Fleet Fanatics fault there was no food, and likewise your argument with him has nothing to do with the club.
