Matchday thread 19th March

[FGR Stroud]

Wasn't our manager. He's great now, but he was a complete twat at your club. Go figure.

Ho, ho, ho, ho.
It was YOU who called your manager a complete twat, nobody else.
He never got banned from dugout when he was down south, so it must be entirely his experience at Halifax that has changed him.

Playtime over girls: seriously ivr never seen anything like this site for arguing over petty subjects.

WTF? Who's arguing with you about that? Fact is everyone behaves like a complete twat while they're associated with your wretched club. Wonder why.

Thank god only one more month of you and we'll never have to talk to you or see your posts ever again!! Enjoy being conference north champions next year but I really hope you end up like grays, Kettering, hereford, Salisbury, histon, Stockport, darlington,

Don't let your club die again.

No true football fan would wish another club's demise. Halifax reformed - so what? Their fans, like Chester and others, have built a Conference side from scratch. What have you done apart from live near a rich bloke?

If Dale Vince leaves, maybe Halifax fans can help advise your supporters how to set up FC Forest Green? Mind you, you'd be on the terraces at the World of Smile.

Firstly, wishing another clubs demise whether you like them or not, makes you a complete twat IMO.
Secondly, why are Stockport in your list?

Interesting you list a few teams who went bust as a result of rampant spending due to a rich benefactor.

And Forest Green fans wander why they are hated throughout the league

And how do you think FGR got to this level, stayed here, built a new ground and became full time club BEFORE Vince got involved? Yes we had Trevor Horsley + others willing to put some money in, but what helped us grow most over the years was VOLUNTEERS. You know, dedicated fans doing their bit to help, whether it be doing jobs on matchdays, organising fund raising activities, posting flyers or even helping in building the stadium. Me and quite a few people I know helped paint the New Lawn when it was built for example, all for the LOVE OF THEIR club. Same happened at The Lawn when new stands were built, and even way back when when the old club house was built. How many fans can say they helped in the building up of two their clubs stadiums?

We have always had dedicated fans, who deserve success just as much as fans lucky enough to support league clubs, despite what arrogant BELTS like yourself may think.

 

[RobinsNest]

Anyone wanna do a list of there opinions of who the REAL teams are and who the tin-potters are in this league?

Just be interesting to see your guy's views.

Fairly simple:

REAL Teams - None
TINPOTTERS - All

Congratulations. It still doesn't give you the right to wish Halifax's demise on their fans, who have done all of the above. TWICE.

I didn't.

Wouldn't be upset if they went down a league or two though.

Isn't that just a piece of rope or twine down Nailsworth way?

We don't even wear trousers, we run around naked with pitchforks swearing at people!

Prefer dungarees. They go better with straw hats.

That's using your noodle.

In summer may I recommend a loose fitting smock. Perfect for letting air circulate.

 

[FGR Stroud]

This conversation has got a little bit out of hand.
No genuine football fan wishes ill on another club nor their true supporters.
Unfortunately on site there are a few web-warriors who purportedly support a club and are offensive to others ( especially FGR).
Where the FGR fans are in the wrong is in responding, (and I'm just as guilty as anybody).
FGR remains a friendly club with good decent supporters, as I know all other clubs have as well.
We are all in the 5th division. We need as many supporters through the turnstiles and cannot afford to make them uneasy to attend because of petty spiteful comments about each other.

Nothing wrong with standing up for your club if it comes under attack from trolls. Otherwise people might start to think all the shit they talk is actually true.

What happens on here/twitter/facebook etc isn't going to put people off coming to games. The friendly atmosphere at TNL hasn't changed, and our crowds are up especially in terms of youngsters.

Halifax are the away side for FGR's final home game of season. Most on the Halifax forum are predicting that this will be the match that Halifax are officially relegated. Will you be at game?
Halifax are the away side for FGR's final home game of season. There is half a chance that the Halifax players will give the FGR players a guard of honour as new National Champions. Will you be at game to watch?

 

[Chris FGR]

I would really like to meet him. And Southern Shayman. Let them see how a progressive club really works. We're going places.

Can't see their sort actually showing their faces next month tbh, keyboard warriors rarely do.

 

[B2TF]

How many times do I have to say this - I no longer do the Tin Potters. I only give my cash to REAL football clubs now. I've been telling you this all season and I've already explicitly answered this question about the Stepford Whores match. I was at the game last season, it was the most souless venue I have ever attended to watch a game of football. "Progressive" is one of those terms churned out by people with nothing to say to justify their mediocrity- "we're not very good but then again we are progressive". FGR are football's prog rock. Dale Vince is Rick Wakeman trying his hand at something he knows nothing about.

I was wondering the same myself.

I guess it's -------------- ex league teams, but don't know the first word, as it is FGR fans that use the acronym it will probably be something like boring or bullshit or bastard such is their superior wit.

Lol. Showing your lack of non league knowledge on that one if you think we invented it. It's been used for years.

Does anyone on here remember confguide? Or still post on the conference forum?

Bitter, I'd guess.

ChrisFGR seems to have made it up himself though, can imagine him privately chuckling to himself throwing it around when nobody knows what he's actually babbling on about.
