Re: FA Cup

Well where to start with that one...we simply weren't very good. In a disjointed and misfiring performance we didn't always look secure and when the inevitable goal was given away by what looked like a bit of a calamitous defensive mix up, the game could have swung either way, as Southall tried hard...

Re: Those Were The Days; 15th September 2014

I do remember that, at his first press conference, he said he was coming in to a relegation situation, which seems rather premature in early September. Presumably a case of getting his excuses in early so he couldn't be blamed whatever happened. Mind you, we had just been dumped out the FA Cup by V...

I was under the impression he took over during a close season. Funny how I can remember stuff from the 80s and 90s seasons much more clearly than this era...

Re: Those Were The Days; 6th September 1983

Great player, Shodeinde. Bet he was delighted being paired up front with Tim "definitely a defender" Hollands though!

Re: Club Colours

Sorry but the all blue kit just isn't for me. It's much too dark for starters as well as being too close to the officials in their black but much more importantly we are Hampton and should be playing in at least a significant bit of red on the shirt. Yes, I know we used to play in white and black up...

Re: Weymouth home on Tuesday.

Most supporters won’t have travelled and so have no idea why the start has been so poor… the fact that a few of the new players, particularly Hall and Bloomfield have been on the bench is a bit worrying (unless they are carrying injuries of course) as we are woefully short up front. Just a mention ...

Re: Open Day; September 3rd

Any reports from people that went today? Yep, we popped in for about half an hour. It's good that the electrics seem to have been sorted out and redone. There is a very evident 'scar' of relaid concrete which I am guessing is where new cables etc have been laid. There has been a kind of neatening u...

Re: Those Were The Days; 3rd September 1988

I remember this, as it was my 21st birthday! Don't remember as much about the evening though for some reason...
Yes, Dwight Marshall was an ex Beaver but I'm pretty sure Gursel Gulfer might have been as well, although very briefly. Sean (Declan's Dad) Rice played as well...
