Re: Barwell 1 - 2 Hitchin

I am being a bit cheeky here. First home game next week v Rushall. Still looking for a matchball sponsor - so if you read this thinking this will make a serious or otherwise comment about the game on Saturday .... wrong! Just trying to prise out a few pennies from any willing person's pocket! Please...

BILL WEBB

I am sorry to report the recent passing of Bill Webb. Bill died a couple of weeks ago - a victim of prostate cancer. He was a regular player for Hitchin Town Supporters FC alongside such legends as Roy Izzard and Mick Murphy. A stylish midfielder with a deft touch and a sweet right foot was our Bill...

Re: FAREWELL TO PRONTAPRINT - OUR FIXTURE POSTER PRINTERS

I am delighted to say that offers of assistance have been flooding in and at the head of the queue was Printmill of Luton. My thanks to Colin Kendall for taking up the mantle - I hope we can work together for many seasons to come. Thanks also for the other offers of help from Forum and Facebook foll...

Re: TOMMY EVERITT

Sorry Brian
I did say I had never watched him. Perhaps I am being guilty of stereotyping Scottish midfielders?

Re: TOMMY EVERITT

Sadly never watched Tommy play but did meet him a couple of times at player get togethers.

Struck me as a griity Jock whose presence in mid field now might be useful?

Re: Canary Corner

Canary Corner should not be confused with the Windy Corner Tea Bar that occupied an area adjacent to the fixture board. Canary Corner was the sweet shop?

Don't suppose anyone has some pictures of that to share?

MATCHBALL SPONSORS 2022-23

I am very happy to say that last season there was only one home league game which did not attract a matchball sponsor. This year hopefully we can do even better and have each and every home match - league and cup - covered? So far I have already filled 8 of our league games and I am confident that m...

FAREWELL TO PRONTAPRINT - OUR FIXTURE POSTER PRINTERS

For the last 4 seasons plus we have been fortunate in the extreme to enjoy the patronage of Prontaprint Letchworth, firstly through Heather and Ray and post their retirement, the new owners. Over the years this has all added up to a surprisingly large saving in print costs and ensured that the tradi...

Re: BERT SMITH

Quite right Steve - I thought I may have got that wrong. I remember Reg as well of course.

Come on you old timers out there - must be somebody else who goes back to the mid sixties? I need to get hold of Al Norse.

BERT SMITH

Just read the Museum tweet referring to Bert Smith. Anybody remember Bert in his twilight years at the Club? My recollections are a bit faint but may well be revived if anybody can find an old picture or provide an anecdote? Was Bert a POW on the Burma Railway or am I thinking about one of the other...
