Question for Chris Clapham

[jertzee]

What do you mean by "I was with RPV for 7 years and am now at CWUFC"?

 

Do you mean as a fan or a a volunteer or paid staff??

[Chris Clapham]

Fan first then volunteer.

I set their website up and did programme last season.

I did a little with the reserves as well.

[SurreyLegend]

You have a very good manager down there CC

[Chris Clapham]

I assume you mean the man at Colliers Wood?

He's a bit of a character that's for sure.

Seems to get the best out of everyone.

[SurreyLegend]

That is the one. Known Beardy for years

[Chris Clapham]

First game I attended, his language was terrible.

Mind you he is passionate about his football.

He appears to have calmed down a bit lately!

Probably due to better team performances.

Seems a nice fella to me.

 

[SurreyLegend]

Trust me he knows nothing about football as he put a 7 dayer in for me a few years back.

Chris,

Thanks for the reply but I don't understand.

 

You were a fan of RPV, but became a fan of CWU.

 

I also hear (though could be wrong) you support Brentford.

 

How do you swap allegiances do easily?

I have supported the same side for 31 years and can't see how I could just switch...

 

Can you explain please.

 

 

[Chris Clapham]

I am indeed a Brentford fan but I have always liked non-league football.

I was taken to a Vale game about 7 years ago by a friend and I attended matches when I could.

Eventually, I helped out with a few tasks including website and programme but I didn't feel I was getting much feedback/help last season.

The position of programme editor came up at CWUFC and, as they didn't have a club website I set that up for them as well.

"Officials" like players, move from club to club all the time after all.

Brentford will always be my team.

My non-league involvement is extra!

Enjoy the game tomorrow night - I might be at Griffin Park myself.
