Re: Stockport Ballboys

Hello all, let me first say how welcome you guys are to the football league, I don't want to sound like a kiss ass but I have followed AS for a couple seasons because of the Stanley Ultras and all the chaps who have worked hard to improve the atmosphere at your interlink stadium(?)

Kipax, we met before the game I was putting out our banners with my friend, it would great to meet you, your insight into all levels of the football pyramid has inspired me for the last few seasons.

Firstly the flags with the ballboys was an experiment and is something which we have been very lucky to be allowed inside the stadium, if you know anything about York City and the Jorvik Reds you will know the trouble they have had trying to get any sort of flag with a stick into the ground so we have been lucky and it does add to the colour which is something we want to promote. At the next game we have been allowed an additional 10 more flags into the ground, hopefully this will allow us to use flag sticks in the stands soon.

I have some responsibility in the atmosphere at EP on the matchday as well as the 5000 other fans who contribute towards the noise, and on friday night the atmosphere was thanks to a little tradition and a lot of passion, apologies if our passion seems phoney but like yourself most our fans would gladly give an arm for the club any day of the week.

I do feel for Stanley after hearing that the club had banned your drum, something which always helps to keep a good song going, but don't worry, when we come to your ground we will knock your socks off, you will not see better supporters at your ground and best of all we are well behaved too.

Btw the person you refer to as a crap DJ was on his first night and spoke very clearly, since there is no volume button on the microphone I don't think it is fair to blame him. But it is a concern that needs to be addressed and as a representative of the fans I will address this to the club. If you wish to send an official complaint you can send on to me using [email protected]


Anyway good luck with the rest of the season, I think we will both need it to be honest.
