I actually don’t view this website that often although i do get told about what is on it mainly by Greg who is on it every minute! I then ask other people to remove any threads involving me so Si get rid of that one i have just seen thank you!!!
As you lot know i don’t normally air my opinions concerning matters that much in the public arena these days but it has been something of a soap opera for the past few weeks at the club and a lot is being written on this site about tapping up’s, players leaving management changes etc…
All i will say is that players leave football clubs, its a fact of life. We all pick a club to support and will stick by that club no matter what, a feat that is always at the front of Witton fans minds, in recent years(decades). The players that have left now i wish them all the luck in the world at their new clubs. They each have to do what is best for them but without pointing fingers at any one person or persons the manner in which it has been conducted is at the very minimum, unprofessional and smacks of individualism.
We have to draw a line under this sorry episode now. I just feel that we have to move on , no matter how angry or upset anyone is, otherwise it will consume the club and focus will be taken away now from Nige building a team for next season. I just hope everybody involved has learnt lessons from this mess, that will make us an evener stronger club in the future.
It is important that all our energies are now concentrated on next season which is only a matter of a few weeks away. Come the start of the season we will have a team and it will be rammed home to all the players by Nige that we are there to compete in this league and not just to make up the numbers. The money, fund raising, support you lot give is fantastic and is so under appreciated in my eyes. Without it there simply would not be a Witton. It is one of the reasons why i have played here for so long and why i always enjoy being here. I have read your comments but honestly i play because i love playing for this club, i have no desire to be anywhere else. In my eyes that doesn’t make me loyal, some would argue i have no ambition or desire. Personally i would argue i am happy where i am and i believe i have developed and grown (cue any away fan or idiot across the canal in the stadium of incomplete to make a comment about my waistline zzzzzzzzzz)as a player at Witton so thats why i don’t need to go elsewhere.
Adversity and Witton go hand in hand and we have been dealt bigger blows in the past and survived and will survive this. If you are depressed that much come and watch Warrington Wolves it makes me cheer up no end! Keep the faith no matter what happens.
I know this is long, it wasn’t meant to be and i almost forgot my other reason for coming on here tonight which is the ground. There are tonnes and tonnes of boring jobs to be done on the ground. We need as many helpers as possible to come down the ground. If you can spare an hour,half a day etc then come down. Bring a scraper or wire brush, some metal primer and brushes and ideally the biggest tin of red gloss paint you can find. Don’t fancy that then the stands and terrracing all need cleaning. There is no point having a team if we don’t have stadium up to scratch for you to watch us in is there? Contact the club during the day to see if anyone is around to let you in, failing that pm greg, rabbit on here so they can arrange for you to get in. If anyone else wishes to join me i wil be at the ground tomorrow 18/6/08 at 17:00 to continue painting my pink paradise so feel free to come down. I will be there over the weekend as well so i might see some of you.
