I loved going as a kid in the 80s. Yes .. sparse crowds for the main part but when a bigger game came around or the team was doing ok there was a special atmosphere back then, standing on the terraces.

It always makes me smile seeing fans winding each other up now but in those days you were pretty certain they’d be waiting outside for a punch up. Travelling away could be a bit dicey especially wearing club colours.

Each to his own. If punch-ups are what people want... That toxicity and the crowd sizes were directly related. Incidentally, they could have got their punch-ups for nothing if they'd stood outside the Minerva or the Foresters and insulted the clientele.

Was pleasantly surprised to hear some fresh music when I was last at RH, good to see this continuing as an idea

Sadly a bout of cold/flu has me sidelined for this one, will have to watch it in France

Well there won’t be any punch ups this afternoon.. hopefully just a win and some great football.

Who The **** picked Cold Play? To be fair, we've been playing a bit **** recently. But not that bad

Please not another negative formation, we should never start a game at home hoping for a goal from a break, I would rather see us lose 3-0 but go out all guns blazing than try and park the bus from the 1st minute.

Just got back from a hospital appointment and it's looking unlikely that me and her will make this one in time. Streaming from France looks likely.

Any chance we get roots hall rocking seems very quiet lately. The players need us to be behind them!

 

[kentblues]

I would say as of right now our strongest team so will be good to see how they go. Walker and Bonne upfront is on paper very good at this level.

 

[RHB]

OMT now please.
