What's £155,000?

[cdbearsfan]

I know but they didn't have to give anything. I'm not suggesting they have turned into Ebeneezer Scrooge after the three ghosts have visited and are likely to start dolling out cash right, left and centre but it was better than the amount I would expect them to give... fuck all.

Every little helps?

Aaaagh... now Tesco have taken over Heroes and Villains. I knew it was only a matter of time.

Great!  Do you get double club points for every post you make?

[hawkeye]

Should clubs gave to balance the books? Yes. natural order of things i am afraid. There will be a better run club  along to take their place.

But will it have 125 years of history behind it?  Besides, who does a club belong to, the fans that faithfully follow it, often from generation to generation, or the board that irresponsibly waste its resources?

It's ever so easy for supporters of a Premier League club bankrolled by a billionaire to smugly say that little clubs should live within their means or make way for a better-run one. Maybe if we hadn't spent the past 20-odd years ignoring William McGregor's doctrine while throwing ourselevs foursquare behind every proposal to make the big clubs bigger, these sort of problems wouldn't happen. 

Sadly you can probably count the people that know about William Mcgregor's doctrine in the hundreds.

Hopefully be a big crowd on Saturday against Altrincham then.

I assume there will be collection buckets around the ground?

Hi everyone

Sorry it's taken me so long to come back and update. Had a bit of an accident and been a bit worse for wear. Back on my feet now.

The response has been amazing and we have done enough to stave off the CVA for now. Still a long, long way to go but with all the publicity and donations (we've raised £16K now) a few potential investors have got in touch with the club to have a look at possibly taking over. We've been at this stage before so trying not to build hopes up and we are continuing the donation drive and Operation: Full House.

We hope that as many of you as possible will be able to make the short trip on Saturday. We will have bucket collections out and will also be selling 50/50 half time draw tickets. If you fancy a bite to eat I can recommend the cottage pie (the cheese and potato pie is excellent too).

It promises to be a good day and we are busy trying to drum up support. You will spot me easily enough if you want to say hello - I'll be the girl standing by the East Stand entrance holding an orange bucket wear a very unfashionable red and white striped KHFC hat! My Dad's a villa fan so I will be trying to convince him to come along too.

Thank you very much again for your support - I've been overwhelmed by the amount of donations we've had from Villa fans (don't suppose you could convice Randy to donate? ;-) )

I can heartily recommend it, and the cottage pie.

Best food at a football ground - FACT!!

I live just down the road in Stourport on Severn. Would go Saturday but will be in Blackpool. Can vouch for the cottage pie, it's like having a full meal, get one early, takes a fair while to eat.

Remember when they had 8,000 against West Ham. Think the problem was when they were / are charging £18 to sit down when deals at clubs higher up (like us) make it not very good value for money.

Back when we were young all kids were free in the conference and crowds were fairly high. If attendances in the Prem are on the slide you cam be sure the Conference will be badly hit too.

Good luck to the Harriers and I hope they get through this rocky patch.

I remember policing games at Kidderminster around 98 -02. Had some fun with the Shrewsbury yobs (English Border Front). They arrived in one coach at about 9.30am and spent the day going from pub to pub looking for a fight. It was funny that the local supposed hard boys were nowhere to be seen.
Cardiff was another game they were expecting trouble but the Cardiff fans I spoke to said their hardcore had gone to the millenium stadium to have a go at the noses who were playing Lplop that weekend.

If I ever fall asleep on the train after a long day at work and overshoot my stop, I always get fish and chips from the place over the road from the station in Kiddy.
