I received the following from Corinths' Chairman/Secretary after the game last night:
There were a lot of familiar faces from AFC R and D at our ground last night and it was good to catch up with everyone.
Can you express our thanks to your supporters who conducted themselves really well and seemed appreciative of the efforts we had made to cater for them.
The appreciation for our lads when they left the field was a nice touch after a game that had certainly ebbed and flowed. I think it was a good advert for local Under 18 football and a real old fashioned cup tie!
That's good to hear. Shame it can't be said for some of their fans, they had me and Mrs S surrounded, and one chap in particular was damn right nasty :roll: Still WE WON, HOORAY!

My favourite heckle of the evening was (old bloke at the top of his voice in a quiet moment, directed at AFC fans behind the goal) "You haven't got a team!!!"

They currently average only 32 for UCL games (only Wootton Blue Cross get smaller attendances), so I'm sure they are more than happy with last night's takings. Everyone connected with the club seemed very friendly and well organised, shame that a few scumbags, who I bet are never normally seen there, spoiled it a bit.
I suspect the few scumbags were the legendary, in their own playtime, Row'ell boys, surprised they were allowed to stay up that late really.
Corinthians run a youth tournament every May, we've been to the last two with teams at U9/10 and U7/8 and it's always been a good day out, especially the year we won it!
Considering how close they are to K*ttering, I thought their hospitality was superb! Decent enough beer, free sausage rolls and nice chat with some geezer who I believe was their chairman. Very Impressed.
A true outlaw finds the balance between the passion in his heart and the reason in his mind. The outcome is the balance of might and right.
