You and I were the only two people to walk from the football ground directly to the station. Judging by the look on your face, you looked how I felt, so you must've been a Canvey fan and the only other one on here I know who trains it to games that far away! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

No I didn't, I just suspected it was you as we were walking back to the Station... just a feeling I got. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

 

Didn't see where you were in the first half? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Just thought I would bring this back again following pabirds post on the Maldon game.

 

"thanks for a common sense post mouse. i think all the lads are trying to do their best. we were not the only ones who started the season with plenty of enthusiasm. it must be very difficult to work your bollox off and get nothing out of it,only for some fans to say that "you don't care".

every week we come up against men who are older stronger and much more experienced.

my hope for this season was:

1st. to stay up

2nd. to build on what we have for next season.

i believe that will happen. "

 

As they say Pride comes before a fall.

 

Canvey Island have no history except that which was bought for them by Jeff King! Unlike many other clubs in Essex and Middlesex

Furthermore the same could be said for other teams such as Grays. Will you be on their messageboard when Mr. Woodward disappears?

Whilst it is nice to bask in past glories, whether it be 5 years ago or 25 years ago, many of us now look to the future and stability of the Club.

Thank you for your continued interested in our Club. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/icon14.gif" alt="" />

the same could be said for any club in all honesty,most fans will only pay to watch a winning team or a team that looks like they are going places,which is why teams like grays get decent support and why hornchurch's support seems to be growing once again as they seem to be on the way up.Canveys support will stabilise around what it is now but will go up or down depending on how they do over the next couple of years.

A support makes the club and while hornchurch didn't have very good support in the past this was due mainly to the fact that over the years they have never been that high up the pyramid until the last 5 years.

We've had our fall and are getting on with it - whats your point? As for pride - yes we had a lot of that at the club and that continues now especially as the club is now our own.

Our history will never change whether you or I like it or not. The history books will always show the success we had as a club, so don't continue to be bitter and twisted about it.

"Unlike other clubs in Essex and Middlesex" - sorry but who are you refering to specifically?

Yeah, thats right. Jeff was a big money man who bought success from the Essex Senior League and Ryman Divisions 3,2,1 and Premier.

 

Do you know how stupid that sounds? He took over a low team in the Essex Senior League and just improved it and then helped that team climb the leagues. It's not like he bought a club in the top division and just bought championship titles like Chelsea. I dont like the guy and what he did but i'll give him his due there.

 

What Steph said was just a completely stupid, idiotic comment.

No. She clearly isn't. It's the view of someone that saw what was going on at Canvey over the years and was envious and now because Hornchurch are doing well again (after their own blip with money, funny how quickly you lot forget you were in a similar position to us recently), she has come out with that to stir.

 

You dont just come through those leagues by buying them as she said. He took over the club when we had nothing and he didn't put in as much money as he did in the later years. It was all hard work to get where we did and eventually we got lots of money from the success we had. But it all started from him and hard work.

The point I am making, though many of you seem to be too dense to notice, is that prior to the season starting nearly 60% of you had no respect for the opposition and thought that you were going to walk it.

 

This poll was posted on the Canvey forum and you all just thought that you could walk every game. I didn't vote and I thought that it was a bit arrogant of Canvey 06 to start this thread. I also note that 2 of the top three clubs do not appear in his list.

 

Looks pretty stupid now doesn't it.
