    Sorry Bubbles, never intended to make anyone feel uncomfortable, and that is a genuine apology.

    Looking forward to my jerk rice this evening..............

    This is what makes this a great forum.

    Congratulations to all for mature reactions.

    And just to clarify, my point wasn`t made to anyone on here, I know that we are all decent people trying to do and say the right things, BUT:

    "a lot of those fancy Dan players from exotic countries probably grew up kicking a "football" on stony pitches with bare feet"

    is a pretty sweeping statement. I KNOW HE MEANT NO OFFENCE BY IT, I KNOW THERE WAS NO OFFENCE INTENDED OR IMPLIED. But there are people (in my opinion) who read statements like that and would interpret it in a less favourable way. That is all I meant, I was having a dig at "the outraged" not Bubbles who made the statement. And again, I am truly sorry Bubbles if I offended you or made you uncomfortable as that was definitely not my intention. ;ok ;beer

    I din't think you were having a go at anyone on here.

    I just don't agree with your suggestion that there are those who would be offended by the comment, so I don't think there is any real target for your comment.

    Madcap, just to put an end to it, I was not in the least offended, only puzzled. ;ok

    Good. I also hope I explained my reasoning succinctly. I think my brain works in a slightly different way to most peoples. That`s what my wife says anyway, in her politer moments. ;beer

    Going back to the original point, my “second” team is Hornchurch and as a non league supporter I would be gutted if the venue was transferred as I would just love to see a decent league team turn out at Hornchurch Stadium, they could be assured a proper reception, one they would never forget.

    However, I am sure that as a non league player, I would probably want it changed just for the experience to run out at one of the big grounds.

    All in all, I am pleased the rules were changed, fate rests in the luck of the draw, where it belongs.

    Hornchurch born and bred. Held a ST for one season. Happy days.

    Used to literally live in the same street as the stadium, was great when all you had to do was wander down the road to watch a game ;ok

    I nearly bought a house in Hornchurch, got gazumped, and then my life went in a totally different direction ;biggrin
