Yesterday,There was a 15 years old player,making his senior debut,a player that will go a long way in non-league football and i think even beyond that.His dad was looking for a match programme so he could remember the day when his boy "Royce" made his senior non-league debut.Unfortunately,there was nothing that could resemble a non league match programme available :)Now for a club that has a decent web-site and represent a big community,certainly producing a match programme shouldn't be really a problem or we are asking too much?Anyway,i leave the ball in your court and i'm sure you can explain to the Beaumont people that there are a lot of things that can appreciate from the country that is hosting or gave birth to some them and one of these,is a MATCH PROGRAMME!Now let's just forget what happened saturday with all the chances we missed before they scored in the last 15 minutes and 7 first team regulars missing and let's take it out on our guests Basildon Utd on tuesday night.They will love playing against a "depleted"Hullbridge side...

We have a major issue here . I do not normally respond to such rhetoric but Beaumont Athletic are extremely upset at this statement which I understand is a total misrepresentation of events and lacks any research. There were Match Programmes and visitors were entertained as per League Rules. No negative criticism has come to this League regarding this club on the Match Result sheets which would have been the correct proceedure so that statement is also unfounded. Beaumont Athletic have even been kind enough to ask the recipient of this statement to contact them through their Secretary and he will send on a copy of the Programme which, by they way was praised by a major Collector at the game on Saturday ! I just want fairness all - round on this forum please and a bit of thought before making sweeping statements that can hurt hard working people !

Sorry that you have been dragged into this one Coup as there is no basis of truth in the previous recipients statement which has caused much upset for the club targetted. I wish folk would be sure of facts before making sweeping comments !

[coach et 64]

you're having a laugh mr Errington!there were no match programmes available to the opposition and fans.what the beaumont fellas are saying is a load of cobblers,get your facts right mr Errington.You wasn't there saturday and none of our supporters and myself have seen any match programmes,neither in the changing rooms let alone to that poor parent that wanted to buy one!it must have been a special edition!

[PORTENCROSS]

Thank you for your illuminating response . This matter will now be dealt with on an official basis due to the serious basis of allegation made.

[coach et 64]

as you know we give match programmes to the opposition players before the game in the changing rooms and unless they were ones we haven't seen anything like that.you should be the one double checking things mr Errington.don't try to cover up the stories they are coming up with:we(hullbridge players and supporters)haven't seen any match programmes at all saturday and that is facts! don't come here, making me pass for a visionary.our goalkeeper's dad was keen to buy a match programme for his 15 years old son's debut and has been told there were none and that is facts!now you're telling me they are upset...do me a favour mr Errington,tell their printing company(if they have one)to deliver them on time...

[coach et 64]

the game's attendances were 18 and half of them were hullbridge parents(i can name them one by one).How many of these "phantomatic"match programmes have they sold and who to?one thing for sure...us players and management didn't get any...
