You'll still be posting in 20 years  Pete! I  completely accept its not compulsory to buy a new shirt, but its a bit of a status symbol to many (some who can ill afford to buy another) if they are wearing outdated shirts, personally i liked last seasons shirt and would have been happy for it to continue for another season, maybe with  slight  trim alteration to the shorts and socks, but new shirts every year seem to have become the  clubs ' cash cow' that many are  all too happy to accept IMO.


I don't know what alternative universe you live in Pete, where it's a status symbol to wear the shirt of a mid-table Conference club, but I want to live there.

Can you tell me WHY this is the case? I've heard this many times and note that our keepers
never wear Green, in 40 years supporting GTFC i've NEVER seen a GTFC  side play in green - where does all this mumbo-jumbo about green come from?
If anyone can expand on this i'd be grateful.



Old seafaring superstition. Nobody really knows why but its international.

A few years ago the BBC had a series where an Italian aristo travelled around the Med on a sailing ship visiting various cultural sites. First episode he turned up at the quayside and tried to boar this schooner(?) in a green tee-shirt. The skipper had to politely make it clear the ship was going nowhere until he changed.

The away kit should be red. It is our synonymous third colour, and so should form the basis of our change strip in my opinion. Not to mention the supposed psychological edge teams who play in red have. It's important to our identity and sets us apart from any of the other sides that play in black and white. I don't really see the point of changing the colour of the change strip year to year.

I said ' many' - that doesn't include me! Ive never bought a replica shirt in my life, despite supporting
the club for 4 decades - what i meant was that to many  wearing an old replica shirt indicates they
cannot afford a new one, i am quite aware that our current 'status' is shite.

Anyway, i'm off to my alternative universe now - this one is cr@p!!!!

You know  on relection i think you are correct about Batchy (not sure about Felgate) wonder how he got past it, Harry  W always wore Red or Blue abd recent years its always been Grey, Orange or Yellow -its all a load of Mumbo Jumbo anyway, they are Footballers, not bloody Fishermen!

Ha cheers. My signature is like marmite I think. It's nothing personal to the people that sit there, I largely do admire their passion, it's just that I came to realise that I was banging on a bit about how daft it is to ally trying to create atmosphere with sitting in that particular area of the ground. So I don't have to now.

But both corners are open! I would have thought that the best area to create an atmosphere would be in the centre sections, that was always the case in my youth - which i can only just remember!
