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...

Re: New pitch floodlights etc.

I mean the ground is currently a “building site” so of course members of the public aren’t just welcome to stroll in, as they were still welcome to do throughout the back end of the season. The term "building site" implies there are some building works going on. So what exactly is being b...
