We won the league and the FA Cup on the same day. What a party that must have been!

I think we just moaned that the club were pricing the common Victorian man out and nobody could get served.

We won the league and the FA Cup on the same day. What a party that must have been!

And are still the only club to have won the league and FA Cup on the same day.

We won the league and the FA Cup on the same day. What a party that must have been!

And that’s a proof that the modern myth of no League games on the day of the FA cup final is a folk tale.

What happened in 1897?

The Indian Charabanc Reverser ran over an unemployed tosher from Minworth.

I'm not going to go through twitter screenshotting stuff but to summarise:

They've been frustrated for a while that they keep trying to organise displays, tifos etc but the club tend to either shoot them down or not respond at all. Now it looks like the club basically ceased all communication with them a while ago.  They've posted some of the last email correspondence they got from the club and its not good reading and (in my opinion) fits in very well with the opinion that the club at best dont want or care about organic fan involvement, and at worst are actively contemptuous of the fanbase.

Someone is setting up a similar group to have another go called 1897 Group (@vp1897)

Oh how we laughed

He'd left early to beat the traffic.

I see the new group have met the club and have been offered P9 for the Bournemouth game as a trial (as Bournemouth haven't taken their full allocation.)

Bournemouth aren't the noisiest fans, but even so putting 50-100 enthusiastic fans right next to the away supporters seems like setting them up to fail to me.

I wish them luck though and anyone who wants to join them can get details here
