Derby's or Tottenham's?

Neither, I meant Hertford's ex vice chairman.

It's me who was being thick! Yes, a good start, especially as we're 4/6 to be relegated.

I'm a Luton Town season ticket holder Rhodes and have been for many years, I got into non league football 3-4 years ago and whilst I very much enjoy it I am still a Luton fan first and foremost. This doesn't stop me dedicating a lot of my time to making a programme for The 61 FC or indeed spending a lot of money on it either.

I personally think a lot of non league clubs miss a trick by not trying to entice Premier/Football League fans along, and if more people done what SpiderManor done then the non league scene, especially at the SSML level, would be a lot better for it.

A very sensible post AWK. A lot of fans at non-league level were originally tempted along to their local club for one reason or another and have come back time and time again. For others it takes longer to get bitten by the bug (although if you stand on the far-side by the trees at Haverhill Rovers you will be bitten by a bug in under a minute).

 

Dragging in the League/Premiership punters and keeping hold of them is what we all need to achieve in non-league. If it means you only get them for half of your home games, still great news.

Not Haringey Borough's, they knew for weeks that Pat Burns and Tony Forrester were attening the Centenary Cup match with London Colney at Coles Park yet 'Sugar' still arranged to go on holiday the day before the game, that says everything for me and it will have definitely been noted in the corridors of power at SSML Headquarters.

As will your incessant ramblings on here, clip Rods.

I haven't talked our chances up this season have I and the 10/1 quote we have got seems about right although I think you'll find we'll come away from Harpenden on Tuesday with three points, will you be wearing a tin hat to Aylesbury Vale on Tuesday, if you go.

Not at old chap, just a spot of ironing. Oh and well done for spotting I'd cut and pasted your post back at you, I honestly thought you were too stupid to spot that. But the question you need to answer is why is it ok for you to say those words about RMFC, and not for me to say them back to you about KTFC, surely not double standards rhodesy old chap?

[Rhodes]

Football Man - Actually I don't think so, the SSML hierarchy are no fools and know that I have their best interests at heart, remember that I was the only member to defend Phil Rolt when you all wanted him hung drawn and quartered for issuing monthly fixtures.

Ah rhodesy I'm proud of my support for both teams, but I've been a Watford fan since 1977 and a season ticket holder at Watford for the last 14 years, I've been watching RMFC for around 12 years. The reasons for watching the Manor are completely different to those for watching Watford, but you're too one dimensional to work out why that is. At the end of the day Watford will always come first for me, I don't really give a fig if that bothers you. The views of a prize tw@t like you are hardly important after all.

ps while we're on the question of teams we support maybe you can answer the question I posed you some months ago, about why you never attended any of the dozen or so away games your beloved Haringey played on days when there were no KTFC games?

I'm not disputing the fact that they can't as it's a free Country but if they sign up to supporting the game at our level and adopt a non league Club then surely it's treachery to be seen at a Premiership or League ground particularly if the team you've adopted is playing at the same time. Take Spidermanor and Watford for arguments sake, what does he actually get out of watching The Hornets, surely it is far more satisfying watching Ruislip Manor and enjoying the unique banter at Grosvenor Vale, or Haywood Way on Tuesday, rather than have to endure the pushing and shoving, high prices and snobbery at Vicarage Road as well as the general shortsightedness of league fans.

Well, well, well rhodesy you've out done yourself today, never has one man spoken so much bollox in so short a time. I'm afraid you've let your ar$e do the talking again, and have criticised from a position of no knowledge again. Other answers already apply to above nonsense.

I just thought we all shared one thing in common on here, namely that we're all lovers of the non league game, okay so Spidermanor has been unceremoniously exposed as a closet Watford fan, bleeding yellow and red as opposed to white and black, which is fine but then people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones should they.

Wrong again rhodesy, Its no secret to anyone who's met me, in fact its rather obvious. Also I've never hidden my affiliation to Watford and its been listed in my profile since day one on this forum, but hey never let a fact get in the way of a good lie eh rhodesy.

[Sharming Paula]

Can u lot stop quoting the posts please.

 

[eagles1981]

I agree with Paula. It's defeating the object of me ignoring him if everyone keeps on quoting the guy!

[Jeff Hamnett TSF]

you need to follow waders lead.

[manics]

You need to follow the 12 steps Rhodes, and admit you are wrong..

[Jeff Hamnett TSF]

three steps to heaven

land of confusion

i think manic is preaching down the wrong street

 

 

[Wader]

Don't bother following the 39 Steps. You'll only find Richard Hannay.

There is a Danny Jordan now at the club formerly known as Brook House - wonder if it's the same one?

[PB!]

Sure is HTFCew, has carried on his scoring rate there too averaging over a goal a game this pre season. Bugger stitched me up on the Golf Course yesterday too!!!!!!

Spidermanor - I take onboard your views on your beloved Watford and that's fair enough but given the choice I would prefer to watch football at non league level, even Lato has readily admitted that he wouldn't watch Arsenal, Chelsea, Man Utd or Liverpool if they played in his back garden. As for your question about watching Haringey away from home last season when Kentish Town weren't in action, I reluctantly decided to take the rare opportunity to watch our Reserves play in the Middlesex County League as embarrassing questions might have been asked by the Club's hierarchy otherwise.
