159th August Update: Hi everyone..So excited . New season/new site…It’s been 16 years but finally we have a new site. Thanks to Christian Wach who has created it all and in the process saved all your poems from our antiquated and crumbling old site which first appered in June 2000 for the Euros . We are almost there and you’ll be able to register/create an account/log in/add images/comment on anything from a word to a verse to a poem…in a few more days..stay tuned.
From its inception to now. Look around and explore. We are here to help you through any teething stuff. Anything confusing or not obvious just contact us on the contact form.

I am interested in the tale about The
Boot Room and Shankley
Hi Sharon
Please see my private message re arecent use of one of your poems from Manchester cheers C
Hi Daniel,
Good to see you are still writing about the ‘Tic. Hope all is good with you.
Best, Sharon
So true mate.
You’re certainly not alone in your thinking. I get incensed sometimes.
Aside from the endless and stillwith its -here once labelled Fergie Time moments ,we now have VAR with its far off decisions by supposed ‘neutrals’ .
So …the supposed influenced ‘integrity’ of refs and neutrals favouritism ?
You could tuck it away into some corner and call it yet another football conspiracy theory, (like analyzing and searching to find which teams refs follow and VAR assistant refs (if we knew ) but it still occurs too often for me.
It raises the question is there such a thing a a real neutral. Everyone who watches football definitely supports or has a soft spot for some club however tenuous..
BTW When I was 10 and the Munich Air Crash happened. i (and many at my school in Fulham) was a Chesea fan but took United on as my second lcub for a season through that awfdul time. Now FGR are my life and my team in the next village and i drum (when we get back) on the terrace at 72 with the young kids and scoff vegan pies and get bwind Dale’s green vision for the planet …
Go well Attila and stry safe with your good lady….
Best Crispin
nice one sorting a pic to go with..off to a trial run with several hundfred masked fans v Bradgford at FGR tomorrow

Hi Crispin,
I’ve only just seen your comment about a photo of the gates. I will dig one out.
I’ve still not been to The New Lawn but I do hope to get there one day.

Woohoo….sentiment shared Denys.
I thought the huge No 3 on Chelsea’s new shirts strange enough.
Keep on mate.. C
