When i moved to the area 6-7 years ago i went to Nene Park as i enjoyed watching football and found our level then League 2 to be enjoyable and not too expensive it gave me a break from work,then my kids and wife got the bug!
This has now been taken away from us through some very bad mis management,we will still go to the AFC games but i will feel i will need to watch something else,i want to see some of our ex-players in their new teams so i may go down to Nene Park to watch the odd game as an away fan,i used to live in Watford and may go down and see them ,or watch the local UCL games to get an idea of what we would need for next year,i love football so i am an open case,but iam sure if AFC gets going my heart and support will be with them as being part of the road to what would be a greater and more pure success would be very enjoyable,there will be a few like myself dont put them off with the agressive
tone of posts,we have to attract and show them they are wanted.
Couldnt agree more.
The loss of RDFC is a bitter blow, and I'll miss watching the Diamonds at NP. No-one that knows the effort I have made in the past to visit games having lived in France since 2004 can doubt my commitment to the club. But I agree with you. There's no need for agression and nastiness against people that want to go watch other teams now that RDFC is finished. I dont feel any desire to go back to Nene Park, but who knows, if a friend or relative invites me along, I wont say no.
Good luck to the Pheonix club, I'll try to come see some games if it gets underway. Good luck to local football in general, its going to need it.
As for aggression against other football fans, I think that is sad, and unfortunate. I'm not interested in any of that.
