the problem with the programme was that it was supposedly about the running of a club and the hardships associated so I could understand that the fans aren't really part of that. But neither was Corinna's hen do or Cav's stag do.

they could have shown people like John Lowe who go up and help around the ground

they could have featured more of the Supporters Club and the efforts they make to try to help the club

they could have featured more on people like Jack Barratt and his infamous walk to Liverpool.


They were offered to film at the end of season presentation night, but though they were told proceedings started at 8pm we got a phone call at 8:15pm asking if we could delay the start until after 9pm when they could get there!

They attended meetings for the Exhibition and could have shown that a half dozen people were attempting to put on an event for the club and were spending many hours a week working towards that goal.

They could have shown more about the fans that do go to far flung games and the hardships associated with being one of only a few who have the time and money to do so.

On the face of things and taking the programme for what it was, a light hearted look at the smallest club in the football league, it was funny in parts and mostly entertaining. Even the wedding bits. But from the point of view that it could have done so much for us then it was crap.

I, like Harwood Red, took many phone calls and did several interviews as part of the 'research' into the programme. And I, like most of us, am disappointed that the fans perspective didn't come across.

Some go to games when they havent got the time or money, some make sacrifices that you and me wont take (anymore?) to watch a game of football.. I am guessing you have stretched it a bit from time to time macca.. risked getting in trouble at work or with the missus, begged steal or borrowed as they say.... to get to an important match.. maybe more?. we all have our own levels but it certainly isnt a case of simply having the time money to spare ... IMHO

snap kp was load of crap but if it turn one new fan its ok like you said it could have followed same fan traying to get to games in the times were money is hard to get.

So it was shown local... what do we think. should it go national ? should the club show it over the internet for the world to see... waddaya fink ?

I say bury it

[southernred]

I hear ( but have no confimation) that we can show in again on ASFC TV (pay per view) and also there may be a DVD of all the episodes plus addition unseen footage.

Could Mr Touchline TV confirm??

I would be good to watch certain parts again, to see who and what was in the background

[Grimps]

It really wasn't worth the hype mate, cringe worthy best of times.
