It appears you lot are easier to wind up than I thought. Happens a lot on that forum so don’t feel you’re getting special attention. Watfart is excellent though. Did they teach that humour at school, if of course you went to school?!

Only really one person getting would up over that forum and I don’t understand why he looks if it bothers him so much.

I like looking at forums of out next opposition because you occasionally get some interest snips or insights

Talk of a weakened Watford team makes the odds of an upset look a bit more tempting. Got to resist the temptation of blowing a fiver though as we alway lose when I back us

Yes let’s hope we beat Watfart the little suburb of London. It seems these places which are not quite London but would like to be have chips on their shoulders.
Never liked Watfart since as a 16 year old during my first and last visit there a copper manhandled me on their terraces because I wasn’t standing where he wanted me to. Only couple of times I’ve been since is to park there and get the train to London.

In the same way Chesterfield is a suburb of Sheffield and the locals have a chip on their shoulder because its not?

It might be in the south east but its not that different to Chesterfield, and like Watford, their are some people who talk complete horlicks on our forum too....

Some pretty stupid comments about us on their forum. Deliberately miss spelling / mispronouncing Chesterfield, one calling us Chesterfield United, etc. Another who thinks we are part time, don’t know whether he’s being serious. Also because we are ‘non league’ must be poor. Presumably they haven’t looked at our league table. Hopefully they will be in for a shock.
The ironic thing is although there may be three divisions between us at present we have played them many times within living memory at the same level so they ought to know better
The Chelsea fan who I think was based in Africa thought our players were part time and were taxi drivers and window cleaners. That was perhaps understandable and he did apologise when he was put right. But there is no such excuse for these Watford fans. Hope we stick it up them.

I think it’s called ‘banter’. It’s good to see they are talking about us, misspellings and all rather than us being not given a 2nd thought. I think their fans are spot on, not dissimilar to our own. Looking forward to meeting some of them tomorrow.

He still hates us, was on the radio not too long ago and it still rambles.

These two Watford fans are respectful and interested (good watch):

Almost as if it was our fault that he was absolutely useless.

He had a good game at CB once at Saltergate….

I’ll second that. It’s a good watch. Like i said above, their fans love a bit of banter as we all do, but these seem very respectful too and have mentioned gaining a bit of a soft spot for us :-)

The one consolation tomorrow for Watford is we won’t be the first non league team to win at Watford as Walthamstow had that honour in 1952/53

No idea. I would guess attendance will be around 15k

Did anybody pick up on the Yorkshire chant at Watford.
