Hitchin Town Fans Forum

There's been so many match reporters over the years,too many to mention,and connected to the two main local newspapers at the time, The Hertfordshire Express and The Pictorial, now only The Comet is still running. But my thoughts are with more recent times, and three names come to mind, Reliable Roy...

When Rovers pulled back a goal with, effectively, their first serious reprisal, Lee Archer driving the ball in from the edge of the penalty box in the 22nd minute after a loosely cleared corner, the signal was raised for all out Hitchin defence. The big policeman Williams, became invaluable in aeria...

After that came a bombardment, prolonged but guileless, from the professionals. So often and so high did they hoist the ball into the Hitchin goalmouth, perhaps hoping that the floodlights might bedazzle Gerry Sylvester the Hitchin goalkeeper, they literally played into the hands of Sylvester, the c...

Nice to see Hitchin Town at the top of the latest form league.

To play The Hertfordshire Senior Cup on a Wednesday, with a venue, that lacks atmosphere,and a main stand which seems twenty miles from the pitch,and the other main stand leaking water through the roof,it makes the value of this cup seem devalued,and 423 spectators says it all. Should have been play...

The first thing that hit me when I walked into the ground was the pitch, it was immaculate,Emerald Green and glistening in the bright sunshine. As for the match,we had two teams,one wanting not to drop closer to the relegation Zone,and the other hovering just above it.Basically the stakes were high,...

This match was a credit to both sides, and a fair result,playing most of the game with hardly any long balls, and many skilful passing moves,and easy on the eye.Having said that it was still competitive, but well marshalled by an excellent referee.Nothing else to report really, just a pleasure to wa...

Thing is we had two reasonable good chances to take the lead, before they scored their goal,and actually, there was a handball which the inconsistent referee missed, that led to the corner that Tamworth scored from.Up to that point we had matched them quite well.As for the penalty, justice was serve...
