Hitchin Town Fans Forum

Sad to hear, RIP Frank.

Lots of photos out there Mick, he won the FA Cup in 1921 and had a little bit of trouble for foul language. Spurs legend…

I started following football in 1967 and became a Chelsea fan at the FA Cup final that year. Football was a distraction from a fairly miserable family life in which my parents split and re split. For years, I followed Chelsea home and away, until the late 1980s. When I moved to Hitchin in 1987, it s...

Rupert… say the club loses no more than four or five fans per game, which equates to around £1000 per year. More on big games. It doesn’t sound a lot but that’s say 1% of the average crowd? Obviously that’s a figure plucked out of the air, but it could be higher/lower. That’s the cost of convenience.

I agree with Kate that TF is a better place to visit, but I think it might be worth doing some research around volunteering and why folk are not willing to come forward. It’s something I suggested some years back and nobody wanted to ask the question, but now that the club is struggling to get them,...

Nobody is going to quibble who has bought online, Chris. That’s not the issue. Ok, I understand lack of volunteers, if that’s a problem.

Absolutely agree Colin. I am happy with removing the need to carry cash. I don’t get the advanced ticket thing at non league level at all but clearly it has worked at Hitchin. I was in Copenhagen a couple of weeks ago, and it was amazing how few places took cash.

The financial accounts are available to anyone. Go to this link: https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/03210431/filing-history They are not full accounts (micro), so it is difficult to see exactly what's happening, but creditors ( 1 year plus) are owed £ 299,000 The next...

I've booked a place for tomorrow, but cannot make it - if someone wants my coach ticket, they are welcome to it...
