Share three facts about a sports team you support, that other sports board members may not be aware of?
For me:
Forest Green Rovers FC (football)
1. We are the only club in The National League this season not to have been given a red card in a league game (Mark Ellis was given one last week, but the FA rescinded it after an appeal and video review).
2. We are the longest serving club in the Footbal Conference... despite being founded in 1889, we have never made it to the Football League... with Lincoln looking likely to get the automatic promotion spot this season, if we don't make and win the play offs, we will be adding another year to that record.
3. If we do make it up to the league, we will be the smallest home town club to have ever done so... based in Nailsworth, which has a population of just 5,794.

Are you from Nailsworth or are you one of these 'glory hunters' Father? So many great facts about Leyton Orient, and absolutely none of them anyone will give a shit about, so instead I'll just leave you with the legendary John Sitton's HT pep talks. We could do with him back right now! |

We could do with him back right now! Glory hunters at Forest Green? They might be waiting a while 😉 we did win the FA Vase in 1982 mind... "We should get some kids in on £250 a week... none of you are worth what you get paid" classic half time team talk 👍 |

Yeah classic stuff!
"You, you little cunt, when I tell you to do something, and you, you fucking big cunt, when I tell you to do something, do it. And if you come back at me, we'll have a fucking right sort-out in here. All right? And you can pair up if you like, and you can fucking pick someone else to help you, and you can bring your fucking dinner. 'Cos by the time I've finished with you, you'll fucking need it."
Could have done with him in the dressing room against Iceland.

This year marks the 125th year of the club's formation, and founder John Houlding famously broke from the board of Everton to form a new Club - Liverpool on March 15th 1892. 2. The original team shirt colours were blue and white quarters (similar to the Blackburn Rovers strip) 3. In 1964 the BBC broadcast Match of the Day for the first time and the first match shown was Liverpool v Arsenal. In 1969 Match of the Day first broadcast a match in colour: a game at Anfield between Liverpool v West Ham. |
