I have written a letter to the Tottenham Journal letters page, signing myself as a concerned Haringey resident, asking why my local Football Club is not celebrating its Centenary.

If the Club was formed in 1907, surely 2006/7 was its Centenery (100th) Season?

[Rhodes]

Horace - Well perhaps but that's probably being a little pernickety, all I'm asking is why aren't there any firm commitments in the diary for the summer in terms of celebration events, for example the Tottenham and Haringey carnival is coming up two weeks today, the Club could have easily included itself in that as it's attended by some 50,000 people and is second in the Country only to the Notting Hill Carnival in popularity.

[RobbieO]

Rhodes - surely the Luton carnival is more popular???

[Rhodes]

RobbbieO - Strangely enough I was going to say something about the Luton Carnival which was sadly cancelled recently due to the weather but my understanding is that the Tottenham and Haringey Carnival is far more popular and better attended.

[Football Man]

I've never heard of the Tottenham & Haringey Carnival and I've only lived a couple of miles away for a number of years.

[Rhodes]

Football Man - Really, well you must surely be the only person in East and North London, and possibly West and South too, who hasn't then. It would be the perfect opportunity for Haringey Borough to have a stall and shake a collection tin under the noses of 50,000 people, if they all give 50p each that's a cool 25k towards improving the hallowed Coles Park turf.

[Jeff Hamnett TSF]

not really 25 k Rhodes theres the cost of the tin and stall to be deducted

[Rhodes]

Good point as I forgot for a moment there that I am no longer at the Club, otherwise I would have laid out for them out of my own pocket and it would have been 25k clear profit.

[Football Man]

Would you have bought the tin or nicked it out of BewareofRHODEntS' kitchen bin?

[Jeff Hamnett TSF]

but you cant be sure of exactly 50,000 people.

 

or they would average 50p.

 

im sorry this is all getting silly, I dont think you should be a moderator at all

But this is the man who thinks he can sell out the Copthall Stadium at £10 a time for Kentish Town v Cockfosters!

[Jeff Hamnett TSF]

well of course they will with temil temiz tamoo on show and all the worldwide press and that.

 

its the detail that concerns me, Rhodes seems to be slipping...

 

 

[Rhodes]

The collection 'tin' is still in the Coles Park 'boardroom' anyway as far as I'm aware, in the shape of an extremely large Carlsberg plastic bottle that I used to use to collect money on market days and for memorabilia money on matchdays.

[Football Man]

I don't ever remember seeing that. Did you make much memorabilia money on matchdays?

So you admit that Cockfosters may not be accepted into the Premier Division next season.

[Jeff Hamnett TSF]

good sock pulling up Rhodes.

 

Or is it.....

No, I was recalling a statement that you yourself made. The fact that Cockfosters are going to be in a higher division makes your comment sound even more stupid - unless you are anticipating a cup meeting?

[Jeff Hamnett TSF]

quick Rhodes no stone unturned , extra mile, can I help in any way?

Yes it was in the corner by the door, you probably knew full well that it was there but avoided it like the plague as it was also used for donations. It depended who 'we' were playing and how many Officials they brought but I guess we made between £20 and £30 per game on average, the match Officials were regualrly our best customers and all applauded the idea of having memorabilia in the 'boardroom' unlike some people.

[Horace]

What sort of "memorabilia" that was saleable did you have on offer, Rhodes?
