If the club really are completely blocked from making any kind of contribution, that is ridiculous and the rule needs to change. In the meantime, we supporters could set up a crowdfunder to support them, and I would happily donate.
Nice to see this disinterred now we know whom we're playing - two lots of progressive ultras, albeit with formidable reputations when playing people they don't like (!) both with links to St Pauli, plus Ajax who are pretty much neutral these days. (I know a lot of people on here don't like the...
Please, Barber et al, do the right thing. You know it's the right thing, so even if you don't have to, recognise the contribution Basingstoke have made to the player's development and reward them in proportion to the rewards we receive when a player moves on from us. It would be a drop in the...
Love sea fishing, utterly superb and relaxing and you can eat what you catch if it's big enough. Went twice last week after 28 gigs in 18 days, literally felt myself wind down. Not keen on course fishing, they all taste like mud apart from trout and salmon obviously. How anyone can eat carp is...
CRICKET
You bat a bit, you bowl a bit
You do it bloody well
You boss the Aussies round a bit
And then bash them to hell
But cricket is a silly game
Which leaves your hopes in tatters
Cos then it goes and rains a bit
And nothing bloody matters
I think you’ve got the wrong end of the stick here. I’ve seen lots of the ‘good’ aspects of pyro/ultras culture at first hand and much is absolutely inspirational and really adds to the atmosphere. I’ve stood in the Gegengerade at at St Pauli with a pint in one hand and a lit flare in the other...
In about 600 gigs in Europe I have seen a lot of nonsense at football matches. So here’s our calling card!
TO MAINLAND EUROPE’S ULTRAS
Please don’t throw pyro at us
It really is a bore
And homophobic chanting?
We’ve heard it all before
So best not think that you’ve come to
A new city to...
Yes. My dad died when I was ten, he gave me my love of football and I think of him at times like this, unsurprisingly. And quite a lot of the people who spent years of their lives in our battle to save BHAFC have died too, which is mentioned here. Of course, you know all this,because you’re a...
MAKE HISTORY
From ‘home’ matches in Gillingham
To nights at Standard or Marseille
Or even Jeunesse Hautcharage
Or Ventspils in a force nine gale
From Withdean to Europa League
From Dave the Donkey to Mitoma
And Ali Mac and Caicedo
From Archer Out to AS Roma
It’s not the same as Hereford...
