Re: Desperate measures.....
Ok I'll meet you at the junction at the end of that moral high-ground, because I'm taking the low dirt roads and I will be laughing and laughing and laughing when they go. They laughed so we should also be able to laugh. I think that's fair.

I may chuckle, or giggle a tiny little bit, a titter if you like, but I'll leave the belly busting laughs to you classless types ;)

No you won't, I'll make sure you join in at the first match we play after they go. Hopefully it'll be an away game.Pigman wrote:I may chuckle, or giggle a tiny little bit, a titter if you like, but I'll leave the belly busting laughs to you classless types ;)

****ing hell, get over it! With or without R&D, Kettrin in 140 years, have achieved f*** all. I would say that alone has contributed to destroying local football more than our little stint. Moreover the fact we have been engaged as much as we have to do it all again and to learn the lessons and put right all that was wrong with the previous model, I would agree is pretty nuclear.by house of the king on Fri Sep 14, 2012 12:28 pm
..........I think the creation of R&D and the fall out from that which was nuclear in terms of destroying the local football scene seems to have been forgotten somewhere along the line...........the fact they went up in a puff of acrid smoke was something to be cherished.......the formation of a "son of " club may well be admiral in terms of application, but still sickening in reality..............as for KFC "we've got the moral highground" posturing; fine & dandy for you, I hope you're really happy, but please just keep your information to your own site as any other self respecting rival club would do............

Bloody hell Chorlton, what time did you post that, late night gig, or have the boys decided to wake you nice and early?
You going today?
I've hear that the six hundred "floating" fans may also turn up today lol!

Still Say that Van Der Veldan had the most amazing ball control of any player at our club.

Wasn't that early, think I need to re-adjust the time settings!. Can't make today I'm afraid, I've got the boys all day and have to pick Sarah up at 4.30 and then gigging in Rugby tonight.

Re: Desperate measures.....
Agree it's about the supporters, you only have to look at Rangers. There's been no big demise there in terms of fans, and I bet their supporters are enjoying life in SD3 just as much as we are now in our leaguePigman wrote:They just don't grasp it do they? I just want my football club to be all it can be, I don't care about Ladick, Cousins etc but I do care about my footballing community, thats Max's true legacy as I've said many a time. NP is just bricks and mortar.
Let them wallow in their old fashioned bitterness, we have a bright future of our own making to look forward to, they will too when they kill off that abomination of a football club and throw their lot behind KFC, which is the only way they will get their club back to K*ttering.
A football club is about the people that follow it, the community around it, they just don't seem to grasp that, they cling on to, and bleat on about, their "proud history" when in reality it actually counts for nothing more than memories. If they could but grasp it, they have a fantastic chance to start afresh, free of the people who have dragged their club down, but all they can do is bicker amongst themselves and bad mouth us, when what they should be doing is rolling up their sleeves and pulling togther.
I mean, if a bunch of plastic glory hunters can achieve what we have in 14/15 months, it should be a doddle for these proud fans with so much history behind them eh? ;)
Re: Desperate measures.....
Talking of them not getting it, can anyone explain to me why their trust are still writing letters to Ladak and why people are still calling for public meetings with Ladak ? Haven't they learnt anything over the last year ??????????
Re: Desperate measures.....
Perhaps, but it does show we've got a bit more class than them if we don't react like they did to our demise. Not saying I'd be upset if they went bust, cause I wouldn't be at all, but I wouldn't laugh at a club going bust, even them.Sara Pascoe wrote:Ok I'll meet you at the junction at the end of that moral high-ground, because I'm taking the low dirt roads and I will be laughing and laughing and laughing when they go.
