We have been here before Percy.
I was watching the lads years before you sunshine.
Now one of my pride and joys is my autograph collection which features every player from the days of John Bird, Rowlands, Len Weare, Granny Smith, Ratbone past the days of Hunt/ Bonson and Webster up until Tony Buck times when I got a bit to old for it.

Every photo I have of County players (hundreds) are all featured in black and amber some with hoops some not.
I have a rattle that Keith Saunders got signed by all the players.
Its painted black and amber.
I appreciate you was the kit man but you are talking bollacks if you think this club is not black and amber through and through
look at all the old programmes as well.

Frank Nouble 3 has emailed the club querying the choice of short colour, a concern of a number of people on this thread including myself. Since then he has been attacked for his views, referred to as another contributor called Harps and subjected to various other nonsenses including questions about a player’s defaecation in the showers. I’m sure like me , he is big enough and ugly enough to fight his corner but in my view if this happened in a classroom it would be called bullying.

It’s a shame that many posters lately just attack people for their views whenever anything is said against the club instead of addressing the point and making a cogent argument. Frank Nouble 3 hates the yellow shorts as do many others it seems, instead of attacking him for his views why not ask the fans pre-season to have a choice on such matters? It may just help to sell the kit. That just seems so obvious a matter for consultation as to make me incredulous as to why we don’t do it, after all our colours are “ black and amber “ not “ yellow and yellow with a little bit of black on the sleeves “.

The other item to be addressed is , why have the club suddenly become so thin-skinned that whenever somebody questions their judgement on any matter , that somebody is swamped by various sycophants attacking him instead of his argument? All very strange , especially when it’s easily predictable who those posters will be. In this successful period in the club’s history they should feel more secure and I see absolutely no need for this behaviour. Attack the argument by all means but not the poster.

You must have had a meltdown in 1976....?

Here endeth this afternoons sermon

In those days it was not trust owned (sure you realise that) but owned by semi well off business men.
Not millionaires but still better off than me or you.
Now for Percy to suggest anybody would or could write a letter to complain is totally ridiculous and he knows that but he wants to have a go again.
For the period from the early fifties we survived on selling a player each season for around 37k maybe even 310k that went on until the glory year with Aldo, Tommy, Oaksey etc

Thanks for the history recap Harps.

"Outed himself"
Has a crime been committed?
Seriously you need to get a life pal.
