Most tinpot thing I ever heard. (tinpot thread)

[Aber gas]

Please spare 30 seconds of your life to watch this, you won't regret it.

The rest of the fans look mortified .lots of nothing to do with me faces .

 

[mnb089mnb]

I think it's great. It's nice to see people having fun.

 

[HertsWolf]

This thread has to be the best of all time. Absolutely fucking legendary.
This fills me with immense national pride. Only in England would we celebrate all this.

Does anyone remember a photo many years ago of some supporters at some non-league game who were having a go at their own goalkeeper for letting in a particularly .soft goal? A group of them stood....on their own...behind the goal and spelt out the word c*** with their bodies. I have searched for ages for it unsuccessfully. I'm sure it was a team from Kent like Dover, Welling or Maidstone.

 

[Murphy]

Oh yes, oh yes.

 

[Silver Stone]

Always a classy lot at Welling!

 

[Van Der Graaf]

Every like this photo receives will raise awareness for the plight of discarded Tesco Trolley Parks. With your help they can find new homes at Non-League football grounds. Shown here is one lucky example at Teversal. Complete with what appears to be a player urinating in the corner.

Ha ha! How could I not have remembered this, I've played there!

 

[Pliny Harris]

As soon as I saw those pics I thought "Teversal!" A player having a wee besides a trolley shelter kop end: D. H. Lawrence couldn't write it. Shows how deep into the world of tinpot I've gone.

Ryton FC have bus shelter stands too.

 

[mnb089mnb]

I've seen many players urinate in the bushes at Step 5 level. It's obviously a long way back to the changing rooms at many of these grounds....

How tinpot is having your manager arrested and convicted for drug dealing?
That happened to Fisher Athletic in the late 80s, when they were in the Conference.
I think a few years later, the ex-manager's brother was convicted of various Sarf London gang-related assaults and beatings.

Mind you, Fisher Athletic were tinpot at every imaginable level when they were in the Conference. They didn't have any actual fans who were first and foremost Fisher Athletic fans for a start.

 

[Etty Abrics]

After Dover lost in the Cup at Chelmsford (back when they played at Billericay) one of our fans 'borrowed' the Chelmo keepers water bottle and urinated in it. Not very classy.

 

[Pliny Harris]

If you want a ground that makes Teversal's look like the Maracana, you want Vale of Leven's Millburn Park. Third picture down is the social club.

Perhaps my favourite thread on this forum yet

 

[shoddycollins]

Been there had that done to us...... was this the whole, we use Derby's stewards and they are at home excuse?

Clearly the stewards are too busy counting the number of away fans.

That social club looks like a remnant from World War II, a pillbox to defy the German invasion that never came.
Scottish Junior club grounds do seem to have a charm of their own.

 

[Pliny Harris]

English grounds would probably look a lot like the Scottish Junior grounds without all the FA grading guides. Very little seating, flimsy metal sheet roofing, warped terracing, nowt separating the pitch from the spectators or the spectators from the outside world. It's as bleakly charming as tinpot gets.

Sort of on the same note I think the former chairman (Might even be current) of Grays was involved with the ICF whilst he was still running the club a few years back which is an interesting situation. Andy Swallow I think his name is,

We once had a minutes silence for a murdered Liverpool gangster called Colin Smith, associate of Curtis Warren who was a good friend of our former owner Stephen Vaughan.

That's seriously fucked up .

Yeah, that story is well known. I wouldn't call it tinpot, more like evil.

That's amazing. It's like a post-apocalyptic football ground.

Concord Rangers getting the arse about sandwiches, and having mega Twitter OUTRAGE about it.

 

[Van Der Graaf]

Who can forget the OUTRAGE when Stevenage charged £4 for cheesy chips

 

[Murphy]

This also belongs here after being marketed as a Christmas gift idea.

 

[HertsWolf]

Oh yes, oh yes.

Thanks for that! Brilliant. So I was right, it was Welling?

 

[HertsWolf]

You kindof feel there's probably a book in this thread.

 

[Aberstone]

I can't say I remember (despite being there) but I'm reliably informed that a drunk Lee Walker came on as a sub and scored our 2nd in a 2-0 victory over Marlow in May 1998.

How could I forget sandwich-gate? Mind you, they were so feeble against us that day they didn't deserve any.

Yes, it was at Welling Utd.

FGR paint, actually tinpot.
