They charge a lot for admission
To watch our average teams

What a rotten lot are those on the board
They are ruthless without any thought

Because the […] -

He came to us with great expectation
After his stint at Celtic park
But Neil hasn’t cut the cloth
He’s way below the mark
His team selections are baffling
And the fans have had enough
Another relegation loo […] -

For years we’ve been terribly managed
And Freedman was the […] -

Does Doogie realise we’re bad or has he turned a blind eye
I sat there on Saturday as 90 mins passed me by
How can a team be so shot shy
Time for Zat to say bye bye
And go and buy myself a black tie
Sort it out […] -

I went to the reebok today to see my beloved team
And I ended up listening to a live Radio stream

We’d a terrible time last year when Coyle was in charge
He took us down a league
He talked a good game and his ego was large
But his players were unfit with fatigueWe thought he’d get sacked but the chairman per […]

And is as stubborn as a mule
His team selections baffle
And he`s a complete utter fool
He waits until the team’s behind
Before he makes a change
And then he springs a right […] -

I’m somewhat envious that you have this ahead of you! Crispin made my son’s first game special beyond compare when he arranged for the Forest Green Rovers stadium announcer to welcome him to the New Lawn at half time. For as long as I live I’ll remember the look on my son’s face as he heard his name echoing around the ground. Thanks for reminding me just how important these events are.
