Fans were an excellent bunch as well, very vocal indeed, I wish them luck for the rest of the season.<br /><br />I was very saddened to hear about the FGR fan who collapsed outside the ground and passed away as well, particularly as I walked past when the ambulance arrived and wondered what was going on!Sam Lockhttp://www.facebook.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338911017388638492.post-73829009814901858042010-02-08T10:42:38.035+00:002010-02-08T10:42:38.035+00:00@Jampot - thanks for that!

Unfortuately you will always have reactionaries on both sides who will say otherwise but the main majorities get on with it. If we were in the same division then things might be a bit more...umm, vociferous.<br /><br />Naturally they would like their ground back; ideally we'd like to get back to Wimbledon (FOC if possible ;-); and the status quo would be restored.<br /><br />That though is going to take at least some time, if possibleJamPotnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338911017388638492.post-27828086330283039142010-02-07T21:58:57.834+00:002010-02-07T21:58:57.834+00:00Thanks for your comments lads!
@Chalfers - Stewar...Thanks for your comments lads!<br /><br />@Chalfers - Stewards were excellent yesterday. I liked the 'loose' segregation policy. An away section but with fans able to walk freely around the ground if they wished. Treat fans with respect and there is seldom any problems.<br /><br />@Anon - Thanks for clearly that up old chap. Is there a good relationship between the two clubs? Are they 100% happy with the arrangement?<br /><br />I loved the flags in the home sections by the way. I forgot to mention them. I believe there is one guy who makes them all and he's done 50 or more.Danny Lasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15553871140609359862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338911017388638492.post-35516231776066577122010-02-07T21:04:23.666+00:002010-02-07T21:04:23.666+00:00One small correction, if I may?

Our trip up to the New Lawn was a great day out and the locals were very welcoming and friendly even after we had won 5-2; one even stopped his car to offer a couple of us a lift to the station (which was out of his way) when he saw us walking to Stroud ...Chalfersnoreply@blogger.com
