    Didn't have a lot of time for many of the Hereford supporters who were in attendance at Boldmere a while back.

    Some of them genuinely seem to think they're the Man Utd of the lower Leagues.

    I just thought most of them were female parts, genuinely obnoxious tosser element.

    Hope you smash them .

    We had the Hereford lot up our way (Evesham) back end of last season giving it the big un'! I said to one of their Lad's what are you gonna do when you get somewhere where they're waiting for you!

    Same when they played at little Lye Town and at Alvechurch and at many other little clubs,they have a terrible reputation.

    How sad when you consider they'd folded and started from scratch,you'd think they'd be so grateful to have a team to watch.

    They seem to have a "Billy Big B o ll o x" attitude in the minor leagues rather than embracing the experience and appreciating the ethos at tiny clubs who in many cases are run by volunteers and frequented by a lot of elderly and small children.

    Like you say Evo....there will be a time when Milwall or the like will be lying in wait.

    The traveling 200+ Stour fans are fully expecting the possibility of trouble on Saturday.

    Very sad.

    I'd be tempted to go and watch Gloucester but they are playing home games at Evesham this season.10 years since the floods damaged their stadium and it's still not been put right.

    I've told you before you'll be most welcome at Stour alongside our many Stour/Baggies like WordsleyBaggie,BrockmoorBaggie and ES Baggie.

    There's loads of dissolusioned Wolves,Villa and Walsall fans attending as well and tbf we all get along and have a laugh.

    First home match a week on Sunday and over 1000 expected so get yourself along.
    Mick - what do they charge out of interest to get in to Stourbridge these days? I'm half way between Stourbridge and Kidderminster so I'm planning to watch a few games at both grounds. Have a couple of mates who haven't renewed ST's at Albion although the plan is we will attend some Albion matches but in a reduced capacity to last season with the Harriers and Stourbridge benefitting from our absence.

    Saw Kiddy Harriers in their semi-final play off a few weeks back and have to say I enjoyed the experience. It was nice the fact that many people knew each other including the players and you could feel a sense of community. The fact that you can have a civilised pint or two before the match also didn't spoil the experience. This year I shall just take out membership at Albion and probably aim to attend around 50% of the home games although from a price point of view the £25 ticket to see Premiership football compared to £15 to see Kiddy Harriers stacks up well in favour of the Premiership but as has been said, its many other factors that have started to make me feel marginalised from the club I've always supported.

    It's £10 for adults mate.

    Very annoyingly they charged me just £5 on two ocaissions last season when I was mistaken for a pensioner!

    I'm a non drinker but I'm told the beer in the club is excellent.

    With membership at £20 a pop I'd be waiting for games to go on general sale were I not a season ticket holder. Don't think we'll be having too many sell outs and the Category A priced games would be the ones which'd see me in attendance at the lower Leagues. This would be on principle more than anything. Category pricing is as much a rip off as the new membership fee. Fk 'em .

    My thoughts exactly 68. Part of my disillusionment with all things Premier League is the fact that so much is given over to the top 4 or 5 teams so I can quite happily live without them when the circus rolls in to town. I had to check the price of membership as a mate of mine paid £5 last year for adult membership and now (as you say) its gone to £20. That's sweet of them.

    As if categorised matches aren't enough, I'm told that its £265.00 for a kid to be a mascot but if it's Man U or Liverpool its £350.00. They're getting us every which way. It all seems quite petty really when you think that the recent Sky increase in revenue was big enough to in theory remove the cost of entrance for every spectator and they still would have made more than they did the year before this new deal such was the increase. I'm not advocating it should be free either but Premiership clubs really can't get enough cash can they? A little concession to the fans would be nice but as we no longer count I'm not holding my breath.
