Re: 2026/27 Cup Competitions



Curious to know if this is something that other clubs do or have done, bring in a group of ringers to play under their badge in a youth competition?

I’m having a hard time seeing what the benefit of doing that is, surely if there’s no suitable youth team then just don’t enter ...

Re: 2026/27 Cup Competitions

Fyi a fellow supporter pal of mine who doesn't post here tells me that last week he emailed the club (using the contact info on the official website) referencing this thread asking if the club were investigating and/or planning to issue a statement. He hasn't yet received a reply but he will keep me ...

Re: F A Cup Second Qualifying Round - Crowborough Athletic (H)

In an attempt to be positive about the replay often when a "lesser" team raises their performance to get a draw they struggle to do the same in a replay a few days later.

(Of course if Crowborough didn't raise their game yesterday ...... )

Would have been nice if we could have tempted him back but maybe we dont have the budget available.
I would guess Slough have a much lower budget than us, if not similar.
But Hampton can't compete with the beauty of Slough!

Re: 2026/27 Cup Competitions


Presumably, because, there was already this arrangement in place with Kinetic. And had what happened on Monday not happened they would have played in the County Cup as well.


Which would of course beg the question why would the club make an arrangement with Kinetic and totally ignore our own ...

Re: 2026/27 Cup Competitions


Whilst not knowing if the club will be making any sort of statement I do know that the Youth Sections Under 18 team has been asked to represent the club in the Middlesex County Cup game against Ickenham at Beveree on the 30th September. With most of these young men having represented the Youth ...

Re: 2026/27 Cup Competitions

The silence from the club is deafening. It's all very well talking about the standards we aspire to on the website but when something like this happens the club need to show these are not just empty words.

Re: 2026/27 Cup Competitions


What an absolute disgrace. Someone at the club clearly hasn't done any due diligence.


And that person should be shown the door. The reputational damage that will be done to the club in football circles will be immense and people will not know that it was not a real HRBC team. How many parents ...

Re: 26/27 Squad


Club statement says mutually agreed termination of contract. Obviously needs more explanation. Why would we not want get a transfer fee for him if under contract and approached by another club? If it is to do with the Baller league, then we knew his history at Wealdstone, so why sign him in the ...

Highlights of the Farnborough match up now on the club's YouTube

Perhaps Spencer Day might review and revise his opinion of the match...


Haha, I wouldn't count on it...manager interviews these days don't reflect reality at all. So many just tell you that there are "plenty of positives to ...

Unsure he was watching the same game based off that.

... and signed by Dowse in the first place. What makes us believe he would do better second time around?
