I disagree, many Isthmian clubs have very good followings, it’s a shorter distance and it’s a good day out for them.
I am sure Ben has explained why this is not possible both from a regulatory and financial perspective. The club will undoubtedly have to survive on lower crowds as new ground development begins.
Am constantly amazed about the griping about crowd sizes and supporter profile. Local interest is, without a doubt, how the club survived it's eviction but people just bitch non-stop about how they're not the type of supporters they find acceptable. Who cares how people are enjoying Champion Hill for whatever reason they find enjoyment from it? It's not a sin. I started watching 10yrs ago to have a beer and a chat with my "dad friends" and then got hooked. I have spoken to a lot of away supporters who love the fact that it is a friendly club but listening to some people on this forum they want it, in part, filled with fanatical "Ultras". I am looking forward to next season as it may see the players form a bond with the fans again and some players may be around long enough that i can form male crushes about them again. And the Isthmian is more fun. Going to Lewes v Dartford...i mean come on... And, for the first time in 5yrs, there might be something worth watching.
The queue shut at 12.45 on Saturday!
I wish I could like this more than once. There are plenty of games over the years where I’ve had great chats with mates and the football has been, thankfully, irrelevant. There is no right and wrong way to show you value and support our great club.
I know, some people seem to want us to behave like Woking/Cheshunt/Dartford/Dover/Bognor etc fans to prove we're authentic. It's only twats from twat clubs who complain about the lack of a patriarchal, nasty, aggressive atsmosphere at our ground. Most like watching/chatting in a very safe environment of 3000 people, which the club should be proud of creating and maintaining. It is Zone 2 South London after all, which is like Gotham without Batman, so it is quite an achievement considering how much booze is drunk.
’s we once spent a long part of a particularly boring game playing with a load of kids’ toys that had been dumped by the Carwash end gates.
To be fair, it's not that I didn't warn them!
Why don't you show a bit of initiative and buy yourself a pint and stand behind the goal at 14:30? And then swap end 5 mins before the end of the first half? That's what people who want a view do, every game.Talk about what you like just don’t stand at the front if you’re not watching the game, get your Instagram photo and fuck off to the back to chat.
You can always get a view unless you are lazy, stupid, or dont want one.
Have just told you how to approach getting a view. You would rather whinge about the mythical thousands with their back turned spoiling your view. Just be organised.
In all seriousness, you know what's an underappreciated and great idea? A fold up stool.
White plastic chairs are the English hoolies weapon of choice though.
I hope you never get a job in customer service dealing with valid complaints from paying customers.
It wasn't a valid complaint, it was just having a pop at our supposedly crappy fan base.
You don't think adequate sightlines are a real problem when we have a capacity crowd? You don't think paying customers should at least be able to see the game?
Yeah, appreciate it must make your job harder. The thing is that whenever you have busy terraces sightlines are always going to be compromised, that has always been the case at every venue that ever had terracing.
