Unofficial Halesowen Town FC Forum

Our match at Rushall on 28th of this month remains subject to their Trophy involvement and they replay on Tuesday. Should we be allocated a home match in replacement, we'll have even less left in 2016.

It's worrying, isn't it?

Only one home game, currently, in January. Just two in February.

Money is gunna be tight over those two months!

Yesterday was our 12th home league game, we reached that on 28th December last year. League gates down 17% and only 10 wins at home this year.
2015 on the whole has not been kind to us, here's hoping 2016 brings change.

No FC United gate, either. Which would've been a nice bonus, last year.

Things won't improve if you only have 10 wins in a year at home and play the way we do. I wasn't there yesterday unfortunately but apparently we didn't have a shot at goal in the first half. If you want more than the normal 200 or so to turn up you need to offer a little better than that

Nail on head.

Yes we did have a shot at goal.

Unfortunately though people are voting with their feet. It was an international weekend and normally you expect more to come than that. Obviously being down in Guildford I don't know how bad the weather was there yesterday, but that doesn't normally put that many off. I hadn't even asked before being told that the standard was poor yesterday, so it isn't just me being stupid, more people are noticing it. The word used was "terrible"

Stourbr*dge got 428 yesterday to see Carlton Town. I know they are riding a wave with the cup run but do they normally get that many?

It's no good keep saying John Hill is the best manager we've had in 20 years (And i wonder how many agree with that statement?!). If people don't want to come and watch then it's a huge problem

Luckily for John then that I'm 150% behind him then and he will be here for a long time.
John has been loyal to the club and turned down several offers to go elsewhere over the years so it's a two way street and the club will be loyal to him in return. I said this at the forum also but you were busy I will repeat it on here for you.

That's fine. I would have been at the forum had I not been working. Don't complain though when attendances drop further if that's your position
