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...

Alternative Report Hitchin Town 3 St Ives 2

Hitchin played pretty well in the first half, and should have taken a 3-0 lead just before half time, it would come back and haunt them, as we were a completely different team in the second half.Hey, have a penalty on us,a great save by Charlie thwarted that, oh, why don't we dribble out of defence ...

Alternative Report Hitchin 2 Alvechurch 0

Well, the highlight of this match was the two goals of the highest quality. Alvechurch started this match with all guns blazing, and could easily have been two or three goals up before halftime, but for the heroics of Charlie Horlock, with Hitchin replying with only one shot on target.But somehow we...

Neil Bunker, FA Cup Replay at Foggy Swindon Town

Just reminiscing, from many moons ago, when Hitchin, after drawing with Swindon at home 1-1 (or was it 0-0) travelled to the midweek replay,on a very foggy night.From the kick off, I can recall the fog circling round the stadium,but enough vision to see both goals,and just before the game was abando...
