Which two Italians would this be then?

They have got names.
Les was just reporting what he’d heard. Don’t shoot the messenger.

Re: Club Statement 03/05/24

Maybe it is time for Jacque to comment. He is still President? And he seems to be involved/present at home games still. I believe Jacques is still the Chairman of the Board. He could maybe be contacted at chairman@hamptonfc.co.uk or chairman@hamptonfc.net or chairman@hrbfc.co.uk or maybe chairman@h...

With Paul and Mel having worked together so much over the years, I imagine this news could signal the end of Paul‘s association with the club.

Re: Those Were The Days; 21st April 2018

I wonder if the present regime realises the quality of players we were able to attract six years ago. Dieng, Long, Casey, Cook, Jeffers, Kiernan, Hudson-Odoi and Wynter were all capable of holding their own at top division National League or above, as was Kretschmar who was presumably injured that d...

Re: Heard on the Grapevine........

When these rumours first surfaced around New Year, I'd imagined that they referred, not to the old MWB ground, but rather to the area to the west of the alley between Oldfield Rd and Upper Sunbury Rd, including the Hampton end of the disused Kempton Park straight. That would be away from a residenti...

Re: Those Were The Days; 3rd April 1961

I was at this game, still got the programme. Croydon were one of the stronger teams in that league at the time. Like you, Shep, I can remember that game, sheltering from the rain in the old wooden stand at Richmond Road. According to your programme, who was in goal for us on that day? We had two ke...

I can remember reading in late 2022 that the club's future was in doubt before the takeover happened.
The only mention of this that I can recall was made by the new management team! But then , to misquote Mandy Rice-Davies, "they would say that, wouldn't they?"

Re: Podcast with Stefano

I agree that the owners have made massive strides with the club since their takeover but why do they still find the need to disparage the state of the club beforehand. For example, to tell the Daily Mail that attendances have increased from 400 to 1,300 is simply not true. They have, in fact, increa...

Re: Podcast with Stefano

Sometimes I look at some of these fans who are objectively and factually slobs Not only is this a distasteful turn of phrase but it doesn't even make sense linguistically. To brand someone as a "slob" is a subjective comment about someone whose lifestyle you disagree with. There cannot be...
