Alternative Report by 'Be Thankful'

With respect, I didn't read this match as watched by another reporter. Brett said, that he wanted to play 'ugly' to secure the points to avoid relegation,and this was a damn good start.Telford came to Hitchin on an unbeaten run, playing a team that had lost twelve on the bounce.'Hitchin Expects' was...

Hitchin Expects

No more lack of confidence excuses, we are approaching D-Day and we need to fight on Saturday.The defence have got to put their bodies on the line,the midfield have got to shut down the opposition quickly,and forwards running off the ball to create space. Jack and Finley have got to shoot more, from...

A Bird's Eye View

I flew in on Saturday, and perched on the floodlight pylon, nearest to St Mark's church, and looked towards the sky, perhaps hoping for divine intervention from above,but it didn't work. How can we go from a team flirting with the playoffs to floating above the relegation places? Well its a combinat...

Re: Songs

Hi Russell,just looked the song up on Wikipedia, really interesting story, its also on you tube.It was played at every Tottenham home game for 30yrs, and is still played today as the players leave the pitch after a game.I would imagine somebody adapted the song with football linked lyrics, and then ...

Re: Songs

Back in the seventies, especially to away cup ties,Hitchin Town arranged supporters coaches, and I remember singing along to this little ditto at the back with some fervent fans. Will put a modern version, as follows. His name is Charlie Horlock, and he's the leader of the team, The greatest footbal...

Alternative Report by Chris P Bacon

Thought we were lucky to get the penalty,as am sure Fin took a dive,well everybody said it was a penalty including the Ref,except me (only joking). Seriously, Hitchin were outstanding last night, and like I said in my previous report, when we play like that we can beat anybody in our league.Makes yo...

Re: FA Cup v Welwyn Garden City

Thought Hitchin played well in the first half, having said that, we could have easily gone in at halftime two goals down.When we play that high tempo quick passing game which has been lacking at times, every game is winnable.So, that's how it was yesterday, but not quite clicking,with too many passe...
