Re: Good News...

Brucie, I'd imagine that Louis Fell is just regurgitating the communique handed to him by the owners. On balance, and with many reservations, I do feel this is good news, not least because news has been in such short supply over the close season. Unfortunately, once again, the owners cannot help res...

Re: Match Reports....

The Truro report did appear promptly in the News section of the website. Bath report still to come....but it was only 2 days ago.

Re: Club Newsletter...

I'd assumed the fortnightly newsletter was Louis's brainchild and not something set up by the brothers.

Re: Open Day; September 3rd

They never said that they didn’t want volunteers, just that they wanted people who add value to the club and then that led to people leaving. Hasn’t really been a U-turn at all. "Add value to the club" is a strange turn of phrase. What do you take that to mean, BevereeMaster? Surely, the ...

And so famous that, like Shaun Bean and Barbara Streisand, he could change the spelling of his first name and reinvent himself as Derrick, or occasionally Derick.

Re: Middlesex Senior Cup 2023/24 Draw

The only reason the name hasn't been officially changed, it the new owners clearly didn't get stuff done in time and missed deadlines, just like the 3G pitch, just like the floodlights, just like the building work, just like not maintaining the playing surface. We hear about how behind the times th...

Re: Those Were The Days; 10th August 2010

We must have played really well to get the draw with only 6 and a half players! I'm assuming the "half" was Nathan Collier and not Nana Badu.

Re: 23/24 League Predictions

What exactly is the fanbase supposed to be grateful for? They devote lots of time and money to the club cause yet seem to be regarded as an inconvenience by the owners. As for the pessimism you mention, over the years, Hampton fans have always been remarkably upbeat and tolerant of the management. H...

Re: New Badge Incoming???

For all the hype leading up to it, I find it a surprisingly amateurish design, though maybe this is a deliberate nod back to the Bob Tomlin era! I never knew why the shield that we had about three years ago had such a short shelf life. That one was obviously designed by a graphic artist that knew th...

Re: New pitch floodlights etc.

Hey Roger, you seem to be very vocal about the media team and their communication, why don’t you volunteer to be a part of the media team and then you will be able to post whatever you like about the renovations and if you aren’t allowed to then you can pull the owners up on it yourself. Absolutely...
