The Ruffian Club/The Guardians of Albion

[HG201]

Has anybody started a facebook group yet?

 

[KNC]

I posted this elsewhere, but feel it would fit nicely in this thread.
The three would be replaced with, 'Boxers',1901'ers and Ruffians.

Cos the food and drink was the same and so was the smell in the bogs.

Jesus, get over yourself. The whole 'Ruffians' thing is hilarious, a spontaneous outpouring from real fans, and I'm sure even Insider can see the humour in it. Anyway, if you subscribe to the view that the fans ARE the club (which to a large degree I do) then it is they who are speaking. Besides, I'm sure it's a fad which won't last, then we/you can all go back to being po-faced about everything.

Pardon? Get over myself? I don't see something the same way as a dozen or so other people do and you think I need to get over myself? and I/we can go back to being po-faced?? How generous

I do subscribe to the view the fans are a good proportion of the club, but I'm under no illusion that NSC represents all the fans of B&HA, nor that they are "real" fans - whatever that means.

I've had enough to be honest. Of all of this.

1901 Club & The Ruffians Club - a celebration not a division...

Right, it seems a few have got the wrong end of the stick.

The Ruffians vs 1901 Club is not a war or a division of the supporters. If anything it is a celebration of our own statuses and preferences.

The club could not survive (and thrive) on and off the pitch without both sets of supporters (and all those in between).

The Ruffians' ideal of pies, pastys, chips and beer whilst singing our hearts out for the Albion happens to appeal to me more than the corporate/hospitality treatment. I started supporting the Albion on the terrace behind the goal at the Priestfield and haven't looked back.

So to prove there is no division/favouritism, here is a design for the proud 1901ers:

Fair enough. Though they'd probably be refused admission for non-adherence to the strict dress code

Well they can always wear them to the A-list away games...

Ah you've woken up to the fact that there are 2,500 customers all of which SUPPOSEDLY have money!! This thread must be generating you loads!!!

Presumably we wear these to claim our tickets for the Man Utd away game in January?

No I'm not making living out of these designs! Won't be giving up the day job!

But as I said in my earlier post, if I make money from sales I will donate to REMF.

So come on everyone, get kitted out in this season's must have items!

Maybe a range of premium wear for the 1901 Club members will help...

Yeah double your prices for the 1901 range, they won't be interested otherwise.

Ah, but that would be favouritism and creating a division within our ranks...

So instead I propose a shirt license, anyone who would like to wear the 1901 Prawn design must pay me a fee of £100 for 5 seasons, with an option to extend... but in return they are guaranteed the respect of the Ruffians who will appreciate that they are proud of the prawn sandwich habit. They will also gain priority for any subsequent A-list 1901 clothing ranges.
