Have to disagree there to an extent. Certainly, there's a lot of us who are still a bit pissed at Mick Woodward calling us 'pricks' and offering to take people outside. Things like that are not forgotten.

However, the new regime at GAFC is trying to put some plan together to help us survive. They have been open and honest about what they're trying to do and what they're up against. To praise that honesty is not crawling or licking arse as, if you do read posts that I put, you'd know it's not in my nature ! I'll call a spade a spade. Us Irish are good at that, it's why we get into a lot of trouble !

I'm a bit of an anorak when it comes to local sides having played for a couple and having always had an interest in 'grass-roots' football. Tilbury's history is well-noted and respected. But, give us our due. We've had five years that no non-League club at our level in the county has enjoyed and yes, we loved it. But I'm looking forward to us playing you lot again and maybe a few other Essex 'derbies'. As I said in another post, and on a lot of posts on GAFC Forums, we've been punching way above our weight and maybe a return to a realistic level for us may ensure our future.

Nothing wrong with friendly rivalry but don't get carried away with it. It's supposed to be a laugh !
