CCFC V you boys

[Localfan]

Hi There chaps,

 

Just wondering whay shape you are in at present and how do you see the game going?

 

You are very welcome at MP and looking forward to seeing you all there on Saturday! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

 

I know its the last Saturday before Xmas but hope as many of you can make the trip as possible <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

After last years welcome, a few days before christmas, the weather, and the fact that we will probably get thrashed, doubt if there will be more than 50 of us.

I must admit its not the friedliest place to visit the stewards were worse than the gastapo I dont think there is any need for them to stand and watch you as they do. Will probably go though as long as the weather looks ok.

[Localfan]

Íf you are talking about melbourne Park and trouble with the stewards, what were the problems?

 

Let us know as no one wants to see fans put off from coming. We have not had any complaints this year so far!!!!

[Tom]

Take a look at this thread posted last week.

Highlights a few things...

[HorshamRebel]

It was mainly attitude.

 

It seemed that they wanted to keep the place spectatorless, and everything had to be done to the letter and beyond.

 

Segeant Major versions of bouncers, chasing after people if the broke the slightest of rules.

 

You weren't asked to do something, you were TOLD to.

 

I can think of much more, but I'll leave that to the others.

[Sue]

Its not something you would officially complain about really, so you wouldnt have had any complaints. Just agree with everything said above, sorry just didnt feel it was a very friendly place to visit.

[Localfan]

OK, fair enough.....hopefully things may have changed. I'm really sorry you felt this way guys.

 

MP is a more relaxed place these days....Please post on here if its a problem on saturday...

It certainly wasn't friendly last year, but it was one of the first matches played there. As I was being frisked before going in, one of the friendlier stewards explained that the local council insisted on that level of stewarding and searching as a condition of the ground being used for football. That also was the reason for the fire engine, ambulance and a hut full ofSt John's ambulance people being there.

 

Despite our friendly chat, I still wasn't allowed to bring my can of coke into the ground. Could probably have taken a bagfull of the real thing in though, as that didn't fit their description of a weapon.

 

Anyone know if its been foggy in Chelmsford today?

[Trueblue06]

Chelmsford has been slightly foggy today but a repeat of the same on Sat should not put the game at risk, especially as C'ford are on a run, but they were trashed at W&H a couple of weeks back.

[Localfan]

mainly because we had a couple of players suspended and a couple injured....back to full strength on Saturday I'm afraid.

 

We destroyed Harrow last week, although it was 3-0 we squandered many more chances , some due to the state of the pitch, and unusual casual duff finishing....

 

No problems at MP the playing surface is now one of the best in the Ryman prem, as a tremendous amount of cash has been ploughed into it and we employ or own groundsman.

 

I'm sorry chaps the council do put restrictions on us, but are slowly being sorted. Obviously it was a new ground and we had to apply the rules as they stood then. All was new to them as well.

 

At the end of the day (yes it gets dark!!!) we have come from bankrupcy to were we are and what we have got now in a short time, so just bare that in mind before grumbling......please.
