Re: Prediction - TAMWORTH

At 2.03pm I feared the worst but tuned in to Freddie & Josh's commentary and I sounded like we were knocking on the door for long periods. No shame in a narrow defeat awau at the league leaders, Tuesday is more of a test I suppose

Re: Chesterfield at Top Field tonight

She is passionate about HTFC and only wants success for the club. I'm a bit tired of the circus not least as I'm struggling to get to many games, but I wouldn't put too much faith in this verdict. It seems to me more about boosting her own profile locally as some sort of renegade disruptor, as if s...

Re: Interview With Grant Biddle Chairman Of Peterborough Sports Saturday 12th March.

Despite the difficulties of being a Level 2 clubs, other clubs do make the jump successfully. Yes, it would require a complete change of attitude within the club, but even Hitchin are not beyond that possibility. It's obviously not merely a change in 'attitude' whatever that's supposed to mean. The...

Re: Interview With Grant Biddle Chairman Of Peterborough Sports Saturday 12th March.

Ok we get promoted, how are we going to sustain that? Join The Jackie Fan Club!!! If we got promoted, actually from my experiences, more would need to change off the pitch than on it to survive at Step 2. The whole culture and ethos of the club would need to change. To survive at Step 2 now you hav...

Re: How far does your loyalty stretch?

I think I'd draw a distinction between complaining at the game in the heat of the moment and posting on the Internet. A lot of the enjoyment of football is people in the crowd having a moan and letting off steam and often makes for great entertainment! Trying to whip up artificial rows on the Intern...

Re: How far does your loyalty stretch?

I can't agree with the notion that having a tantrum on the Internet about a non league team losing is somehow a noble way to behave... If this is a more modern way of supporting a team (it seems to be for a lot of 'elite' clubs) then I'll stick with the old method

Guess the obvious question is..... Did the Whiskey make it back to Hitchin without being drunk?

They're supposedly doing the standalone 10k today so I hope for their sake it remains unopened!

Stourbridge away

I'd like to offer if I may my congratulations to Mike Jones and Chris Fry who scooped not one but two prizes on the Stourbridge tombola today. While an unnamed contact of mine had suggested they lacked the tactical knowhow and appetite they have left the West Midlands with a bottle of whisky and a N...

Re: FA Cup Draw

However, what is more annoying is the Bedford ticketing. I was going, but a £2 surcharge for paying cash has raised my hackles. Daylight (or evening) robbery in my opinion. So back to the computer dilemma, Pre-book OR no-show :grumpy1: It's not a dilemma Geoff, your wife buys it for you. Geoff, as ...

Re: FA Cup Draw

The blame and responsibility for today’s FA Cup defeat lies one hundred per cent with the Hitchin Town FC management. Nothing has been learned from the last few season’s cup defeats. Thousands of pounds potentially AGAIN of FA Cup winnings flushed down the toilet. It’s absolutely disgusting that cl...
