Never really been over excited by the so called rivalry with Dover as they are not exactly on our doorstep.

For all longstanding Welling fans I think D******* are still the true rivals. Some great games with them at PVR and Watling Street in the past. Will never forget Gary Julians, after taking some real flak off the Dartford fans at PVR, scoring twice against them and running over to the old corrigated cover and sticking two fingers up at them..............magic !

The two D's are playing each other tomorrow at Princes Park. I am tempted to go along as I imagine it might be a little tasty and hope that both teams lose !!

When will Andy Ford's red and white army get an airing.

Havent been to an away match that far away, how many supporters went?

Somewhat different to my first away match, Woodford Town, on a Tuesday, I think, in the Southern League.

Went with a mate who's Uncle was something to do with them and he had to deliver something to one of their officials. Twas a rather rank wet evening and I think we won, as said official was rather grumpy at the end. Thus my only personal encounter with Bobby Moore was a somewhat brief and curt encounter lasting about 10 seconds, as it was he.....

And I can't recall much of the game either as we spent half of it trying to fix the tin roof on their reporter's shed!

 'WE DONT CARE WHAT THE WOKING SAY?'

If anyone has been away to Woking over the years will understand the rivalry.

I've been to most away games there and just the players were bad enough (Batty, the Selley tackle etc). Not to mention their fans who stand right by the away fans giving it large. It's been close to kicking off big time at Woking. Plus their old manager Chapple slating us AND Neil Smith being a Woking legend!!!!!

ps. don't like the ground either - out of town, crap facilites with just one huge stand behind the goal (?)

A few ingregients for Woking like


a)  being the nearest Conference club for a while

b) came from nowhere waving the wad and larging it

c) Chapple slagging us for kicking them off the park after they had spent several seasons doing it to us

d) being slap bang next to the standing home support at theirs with some very arsey stewards around

e) finding half your extended family had jumped on their bandwagon

f) the lack of any decent beer

g) the fact we mostly lost at the beginning

all probably didn't help


On the plus side there was the pieman on the bike inside the ground and they did play bloody well in the second half when I saw them tonk West Brom

You have to also remember we didn't play Dartford, Bromley, Fisher, Gravesend and Ebbsfleet often if at all in the early to mid 90s, when most of the current hardcore travelling support got going.


If you want a really mad sond it would be the day we had a chorus for Erith and Belvedere when they were playing at St Leonards and we were at Hastings (the grounds back on to each other). 

"But i got the sack..........."

PMSL

Aint No Stoppin Us Now best song.


Im sure if we wanted a new one one or two of us could sort one starting with fanfare of the common man etc.

HOW ABOUT CRAZY HORSES BY THE OSMONDS, FITS IN WITH OUR BADGE THEN. OR SOMETHING BY WINGS. IT NEEDS TO HAVE SOME MEANING AND/OR CONNECTION TO THE CLUB.

HAVE WELLING EVER HAD A MASCOT - I THINK THAT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA, KIDS LOVE THEM. WOULDNT COST THAT MUCH TO DO EITHER.

no way for a mascot - unless we get the welling werewolf back! but he has to be told not to climb up floodlights, dive onto the pitch from bins or take free-kicks during the game!

I remember when I first went to Welling as a kid it was always "ain't no stopping us now". Bring it back I say.

I also remember a while back Barry Lakin chose a Dean Martin song. Can't remember which one.

Let's hope it won't have to be Neil Young's F*|#in' Up.

 
 How about Bring your daughter to the slaughter by the mighty Iron Maiden?

Stenhousemuir used to run out to Talking Heads' "Road to Nowhere". At least they were honest!
