FA Cup - who cares ?

[Alan ( GNFC )]

'We don't train on our ground and we do not have a single Farnborough lad at the club. There is no sense that Farnborough is our spiritual home, it is just the place we play 21 league games" - Graham Westley, FTFC manager, chairman and owner. Daily Express 8 Jan 2003.

 

What a bizarre situation , I've never understood the point of Arsenal under Wenger and now Farnborough meet the french club in a game that has no relevance to Islington or Farnborough .

Thank goodness at Fleet its all for one etc ( Hold on , wasn't that a quote from those Frenchie musketeers )

That whole franchise football thing will kill the game if it ever takes off. I don't see the point of a club being taken over and recreated elsewhere, like Wimbledon. At least clubs like Rushden & D were reborn with elements of two previous Rushden clubs and play their football there.

 

It's a pity for the real Farnborough fans that Westley is just using the club as a springboard for his own ego and will ditch the locality once he finds a home somewhere else.

Absolutely. The situation will be akin to that of some American football and baseball clubs.

Disgusting to read Westley's comments belittling the importance of the town prior to the club's biggest match in their history and just how important is that for the town.

Look at the coverage they've had in the national press .

He should be shot...
