To the Players and Officials of Barkingside FC

This season was my first watching the "Side" seriously, previously I was watching professional
|
football and got disillusioned with overpaid prima donna`s. I decided I wanted to watch grass
|
roots football and I found it at Oakside. I went into the clubhouse for a pint, the friendliness
|
impressed me staight away. My first away trip was to Harefield United in FA Vase by coach
|
with the players and other supporters and I have to say one of my better experiences travelling
|
away. Only the result was disappointing, the gap in the league`s was not apparent.
|
What has impressed me is the players commitment on the pitch, an example of this was at the
|
last away game at Enfield which we lost 4-0, but the players, four of which were carrying injuries
|
they never gave up and in the end the result flattered Enfield.
|
I would like to thank Tony Fenn,John Doyle,Tony Rose and the players for their efforts this
|
season, which without the problems off the field ie. Floodlights and postponments which meant
|
home games being played at other venue`s I feel sure we would have been challenging at the top
|
of the table. I would also like thank Jim Flanagan,Martin & Rob Meyers and Angie Robb for their
|
efforts behind the scenes.
|
I know April has been a busy month for the players with the number of games, Mr Ferguson and
|
Mr Wenger would be crying in their wine if they had Fenny`s problems.
|
In conclusion I wish the players the best of luck in the League Cup Final. I know they will give it
|
their all. " UP THE SIDE"

Yours in Sport
