Will your ground handle the away crowd Monday?

With a big following expected from the fantastic place named Halifax were im sure you all enjoyed a great day out.

I remember last season when we filled down one side and got behind the goal. With your low crowds are we getting a bigger end?

Looking forward to a good sing song myself, some old favs from last season like my Garden shed is bigger than this and a few of the new songs we have planned.

Happy new year.

PS - Yesterdays game was great but 2 decesions cost us the game, we should of had a pen and you should of been down to 10 (your number 3 should of received a 2nd booking) but ref bottled it..... Oh well were still the bigger club.

ohhh i was hoping it would have been a picture of the ref - only him and Mr Prendergast were the cheats that day

Halifaxfan · 27-12-2005, 19:03

You dont think thats a pen then?

shakermaker · 27-12-2005, 19:06

of course it was - but its the ref's problem - Welchy hardly cheated - the ball was goin out of play

Diesel · 27-12-2005, 19:28

We should have had a pen, and numerous free-kicks, but the ref was awful. Ya win some, ya lose some

going back to the point of this thread; the away fans who quite rightfully dismay at the quality of our ground and amenities have to remember that we are club on the up. Our ground will get up to scratch but only when the time is right. If they think that the shed is crap they should at least remember that they have a roof over their heads.

Halifax in particular should keep their traps shut. They ARE a big club with a particularly nice big ground. But, they have fallen down the leagues and their ground is far better than the conference expects. Also their crowds are pretty abysmal as well and they are losing fans as they drop down the pyramid.

When we get to the promised land we will have a better ground. If we subsequently come back down again then we will be in a position to slag other grounds off (and we will).

I'd rather be at a club going up the leagues than going down. Remember where we were five years ago.....ten years ago.....fifteen years ago. The likes of York, Hereford, Halifax, Exeter, Cambridge, Scarborough and maybe even Aldershot were all established league clubs who would have been THE big draw in the first round of the FA Cup rather than teams we play every week and expect six points a year off some of them.

Our ground will comfortably cope with the 400 fans you will bring. But five years ago that was our average attendance. Grass roots football here Halifax and you would do well to remember that. I sincerely hope not, but if the ground sale goes against you and Tesco come in for the land then you may be playing every week in conditions far worse if at all.

Finally, we OWN our ground, we have NO loans, NO mortgages. We owe NOBODY, we answer to NOBODY and we call OUR OWN shots. We turn a PROFIT every year and if wanted to go into hoc then we could call on a hell of a lot of money to do as we please with but with no guaranteed returns except more terrace to sweep and more roof to paint

Is that actually true? I thought the council owned the land?
