As usual the Hillmen fans were in excellent voice at Blackstones last Saturday and gave the team great support during the game. We are very fortunate to have a set of supporters that enjoy travelling together in such numbers, and this is really appreciated by the club.
That said, on Saturday there were a few things that crossed the line between good natured high jinks and what is reasonable, and it is felt that these should be brought to attention to prevent them happening again.
All fans are reminded that in order to provide a side worth supporting, the management work very hard and take the game very seriously so that the team performs to the best of their ability. Therefore, the dressing rooms and dug-out areas are sacrosanct, completely out of bounds for spectators, and no supporter should attempt to enter these areas.
We would also ask that when travelling in such numbers, we respect our hosts. We are visitors to their home, and like to leave a positive impression on each and every place we go to, so that they would be happy to have us back. This means treating their clubhouse and fittings how we would expect them to treat ours.
In addition, although we may dislike the rule about not drinking outside of the clubhouse area, it is a legal requirement that this is the case. Supporters have said on many occasions that we do not like the presence of heavy handed stewards, so we shouldn’t give clubs the excuse to employ them. Please ensure that no drinks are taken beyond the clubhouse boundaries, which for the avoidance of doubt, usually means out of the doors.
Over the last couple of years we have become the best supported club in the Vodkat league, with a reputation of having the best supporters. Let’s keep it that way.
