Quote Code13="Code13"We could fill the Galpharm each week with season ticket holders and people would still say our support was crap.
We get a higher than average crowd, on a Friday night which are traditionally poorly supporter accross all clubs and people whinge there werent Enough there.
I've been watching the giants since the mid to late 70s through thick and a LOT of thin.
But I 100% understand why people may have stayed away on Friday night.
And to those people who were there on Friday, can I ask 3200 of you where were you in the mid 80s?'"
Tell you where, me and my dad were painting the dressing rooms, cutting the grass at fartown on a ride on mower, repairing the stands, then I would come back down at night and train with the likes of Billy Cook, Jimmy Johnson, Big Dennis, Frank and Boothy and it made my day when Frank the kit man gave me an old Fartown Jersey with no8 on the back to train in.
Then when they became the Giants weekends were spent again with my father off to watch amateur games scouting for players, he had the likes of JJB, Gilmour, Westwood to name a few down for talks before they signed for other clubs because we couldn't afford them!!! He managed to pick up the likes of Stuart Cocker, Steve Booth, Mark Moxon, Adam Hays and the Ryan Hudson, Paul Jackson, Leroy, Eorl ect after them.
That was after my father played alongside Rob Valentine, Spanky Dyson, Bob Hagan, Tommy Smales ect in the 60's. Me having played in the Colts with Fazza and helping out the 2nd team when short. So as you can see I like many others, have given alot to Fartown.
That's where I was during the 80's ect but what relevance has it?
Are you saying if you were not watching thru the bad times we don't want you as fans now cos that's stupidity.
I welcome everyone who steps thru those turnstiles to support the Giants with open arms and so should everyone else cos it's not like we are full up at the moment!!!!
