I was delighted to find that people were pleased to learn that Christian and Darren would be continuing to vlog and blog this season.

Darren has been busy again ….. he apologies in advance for a few “choice words” here whilst Christian has been equally busy blogging, editing and much more. Here he highlights an interesting “rags to riches” story from Finchamstead. Good luck, guys, as you move through the table. Natty shirt too! Darren photo above, Christian, below)

Two other shirt stories hit my screen this week that I thought I would like to comment on. Sheffield Wednesday making a contender for the media own goal of the season whilst at Dorking both the kit man and the referee and his assistants should hang their heads!

Yes, Sheffield Wednesday had the gall to issue this statement that fans found wearing “fake” shirts (whole discussion about fake shirts, of course!) may be asked to leave the stdium. The BBC website picked it up.

“Sheffield Wednesday have warned that home fans wearing counterfeit shirts at Hillsborough could be ejected from the stadium.

The South Yorkshire club issued a statement on their website to “respectfully request” that supporters refrain from wearing fake shirts at home games.

Wednesday stated: “Anyone found to be wearing a fake shirt inside Hillsborough could be asked to leave, with information passed on to the relevant parties.”

They have also made it clear that staff at the official club shop will refuse requests to add numbers or letters to counterfeit shirts.”

Let’s remember that their “official” shirt is £77 and if you wanted to also buy the TWO away shirts (aka 2nd/3rd kit) and a training shirt a fan is looking at an obscene £300!!! Then we could talk about the shorts, the socks, the etc etc etc …. It should come as no real surprise that fans of the Sheffield club are not amused whilst the rest of the football world derides the club!


Meanwhile in Truro….

“Truro City’s first match in their new stadium was delayed soon after kick-off due to a clash of shirts between the home side and visitors Dorking Wanderers.

Dorking’s orange tops clashed with Truro’s new red home kit and, after just three minutes, the visitors went off the field.

When they returned they had turned their shirts inside out – a situation which lasted the rest of the game.”

Ooops. Until next time….
