My personal fave was at Stafford... Paul Parker was telling Phil Collins to do something and Collins just looked at him and said "Shut up you c***", so Parker told him again and Collins called him a c*** again.

Ah yes Merthyr. I remember at one home game against them, loads of Welling fans were standing at the park end and decided to bombard the Merthyr goalkeeper with bog rolls. He wasn't exactly pleased about it :D

oh those were the days
the leather jacket and the mullet now sadly gone

but still go down a few times a season, been a lot this year and what a fantastic job is being done on the pitch - Obersteller is fantastic and can play at a better level despite the rediculously coloured boots - In fact the the whole team is as good as I have seen at PVR
Even Nicky Brigden would be hard pushed to make a poor team out of this lot

Best of luck lads

reminissing of the good old days reminded me of the funniest moment I have ever heard at a footy game
away to merythr tydfil the late great Stuart White was not having an auspicious game
a shout came from the welling fans ( not me )
" oi Brigden - take off whitey or die"
few seconds later another welling fan replies
" he cant take off Dai - he plays for the Welsh mob "

still makes me laugh now

I may not holla as much as those days and the mullets gone but I have good news
The next generation of "peoples poet" is coming through the academy
attends most home games and is a true wings fan - brings some school mates with him too

Actually some great songs, not even remotely football related ...

Heime Bigfoot Henderson for one

we aint got no paintbrushes


cos its mind your language
mind your language fc
by far the politest club
the world has ever seen

that was after a certain Mr Hobbins came round the pitch and asked the
crowd behind the goal to reduce the swearing

he walked round the pitch to a
der dum de dum       der dum de dum

good crowds then tho 1200-1300 every game  
banter was superb

for 4 games against reading a certain striker was given quite a lot of stick for
possibly being overweight and possabily having a relationship with a lady against her will

Does anyone remember the time when after Welling scored pressups where conducted by the crowd in relation to the number worn by the scorer

suit case, suit case, pack it pack it pack it

songs I remember were the theme tunes from The Flumps and Rainbow and that old favourite, My Brother's Got Piles

One corner in quick succession

And the attempts to put off the oppo keepers at goal kicks, the one that sticks in my mind went:

Oohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh You're so **** it's not even worth saying "you're **** Ahhhhhhh" Ahhhhhhhhhhhh

oh yes
theres another funny one

think it was a fa cup preliminary game against the civil service

lots of calls like wheres your fax machince
did you forget your briefcase


maybe you had to be there but it was pretty funny at the time

anyone remember the time we had danny dichio on loan from QPR I think it was
crazy amount of goals were scored ( missed plenty as well )

and the behind the goal mob were on their knees doing the "we're not worthy bow"

just checked out wikkipedia
they have danny dischio as
3 appearences 6 goals

i was sure it was a bit more than that

Yes, it was definitely more than 6 - he scored in at least one other match, apart from the Slough and Witton ones, so he must have got into double figures for us.

Nice one Trigg, its bits like this that make the club.

To me when I walk in and Barry says how are you by name you release you are actually part of the club and not just a supporter

For me it was the lure of Pams Jumbo Sausage.

wrong club but this is a poinient message

My dear 'Peoples Poet',

As I spend most of my time in a straight jacket, I can honestly say that having that 'piece' read to me by matron was quite touching.

Thank you.

 

I did ask in a previous thread if anyone knows what leagues Welling started out in way back in the formative years.I can remember they were in the old Spartan league when they played at Butterfly Lane in Eltham, I am interested to know what leagues before then and how they progessed,having played locally those years ago.
Maybe its a bit much to expect, there cant be many fans as old as that still watching or using the fans forum.

My dear 'sladie'

Could you be so kind as not to put years on me.
Ill have you know that I am only 157 this year.
People assume I'm older due to my mature attitude and knowledge on all subjects.

I put my youthful looks down to taking Clarins, I used to have Elemis but it tasted too much like bad beer so I changed.
