I think this year we should strive to create the best atmosphere ever known in the history of THFC. If we are losing, mask your disappointment and get behind the lads, after all we CAN make a difference. We need to show the players that we are right behind them and even if we don’t agree with the choices that have been made we must continue to give them our total support.

We all know that we are not the finished article yet and we all know that maybe Doherty is not a Premiership standard player (at least, not where we want to realistically be in the Premiership). That said, he is probably the best player in the air at the club, so I don't understand where that criticism comes from. He's also an honest bloke who accepts he's not first choice material, but will give it 100% when he is picked. We'd have done a lot better last season had all our players had the heart that Doherty (and Brown) displayed.

We desperately need a partner for King at the back...and the one player that could have partnered King satisfactorily (injuries permitting) has had his confidence destroyed by the boo boys. I'm thinking of Richards. The boo boys have had their fun and in the process have helped in reducing a valuable asset of the club to nothing more than a millstone (due to his wages) around the club's neck.

To those who boo our players when they are out on the field performing for Spurs, I'd just like to say well done: Despite documentaries stating to the contrary, it is obvious that Neanderthal man has managed to avoid extinction and is alive and well in north London.

These so-called supporters don't deserve to get into WHL and I wish they'd just switch their allegiance to a team more in line with their culture.
The trip to get to that team's stadium is just a short ride away.


Do your bit.
