I see a video of one of their only wins against us has been posted on that thread, with the words 'just to rub salt into their inbred wounds...'. They seem to be forgetting these:

Never fails to make me smile, when Tommo scores in that last link, and celebrates slap bang in front of those little, chavvy cunts, then proceeding to shush them all along with Byrney and Azza. Classic

I'd much rather be in our situation than K*ttering's at the moment. Yes, we may be several divisions below them (for now...), but we've got a fan run club, purely owned by and for the fans. We've just come off the back of a successful season in the NSYL, while winning a trophy in our first ever season of existence. And it appears, that with the high amount of members and the fantastic support the lads had last season, we will have a relatively big fanbase, which although will not guarantee us promotions and success, it will stand us in good stead for the future.

As for K*ttering's situation.... well, what can I add that hasn't already been said? The situation gets worse and worse for them every passing day. So, I certainly know whose shoes I'd rather be in at the moment...

But still..... 'JELLY AND ICE CREAM......'

I never get tired of watching that YouTube video, where we beat them 3-0.

Always cracks me up when after Tommo scored, that Grade A moron in the crowd shouted "too shit for the football league!" shows how much they know!!! :lol:

As for the game where they beat us at home, I couldn't have cared less about the result, considering what had happened prior to it.

Only a moron would want to be in their position now, rather than our's. They might be 3 levels higher than us but we don't have a crook as 'Chairman', we don't have a egotistical backstabber as CEO and we don't have a complete c**t as landlord, who's ready to redevelop 'their' stadium as soon as it's convenient for him. We're not starting next season with a points deduction and we're not arguing with ourselves over every thing the club does.

Deep down they know it, but they won't admit it. I'm looking forward to the new season, watching us (hopefully) challenge for promotion, safe in the knowledge that we know what the F's going on in our club, whilst they'll be left lurching from crisis to crisis, starting on July 4th.

To be fair, K*ttering are going to be ok for now.

The CVA has been approved, they've got into the Southern Prem and most of their fans are forming back into line behind George Rolls after showing signs of decent last week.

It also looks like Rolls has covered his back by "bringing" in Helen Thompson should he be band from running a football club by the FA.

In all fairness the Poppies are probably going to be ok; their budget will out weigh their revenue but what football club these days doesn't have that problem?

However, the thing which would scare the tits off me if I was a K*ttering fan is 2015; there is too many rumors for something not to be true; something will happen which will spell trouble for the Poppies.

My guess though involves a name change by the end of this year in an attempt to build a local fanbase.

i suppose beating us twice in all our fixtures is something slim to hold onto. we used to give them a footballing lesson, more often than not.
afcrdfc is our club, for us.
kett is a floundering fish on the beach. someone may throw it back in the water but how long will it be able to swim?

You do mean League and FA Cup fixtures don't you? ;)

That is the one game where it DID matter to me.

Spent force. ;)

At least they won't have to spend the money needed to get the Nene Park pitch back into shape now #HOOF
