Afternoon all,
Just been for lunch in that new Italian restaurant on the high street (they do a lovely Penne Arrabbiata but avoid the bread, it’s harder than Jason O’Toole’s abs)
Anyway, I was wearing shorts and the waiter couldn’t help but notice the Gorchester United badge tattooed on my calf. He asked the significance of ‘1927’ and I replied saying that its obviously the date the club was founded. Some smart arse behind me piped up and told me to check the ‘history’ page on the club website. To my horror, I noticed the club was founded in 1887 and joined the South West Rivers and Hills League in 1972. What the hell is going on? Janet has had to make me a cup of tea (couple of custard creams on the side) to calm me down.
Which clown is responsible for this? I’m looking at you Tang, if you even bother to read this. I want answers.

Re: The club badge
GorchyBoy1927, this was brought up by fans in the July AGM meeting, email the club and they should add you to the mailing list. Fortunately The Shed End Boys were attendance, and took some brief notes. Please see below:
AGM Minutes 13th July 2023:
•Chairman Stefan Tang was asked about the increased season ticket costs. He explained the reasoning for the increase was mainly down to Tubson’s wage. He was challenged on this as there should have been no increase on his wage, but Tang let attendees know that he lost a round of golf with Tubson, resulting in a 5% wage increase. If Tang had won, Tubson was going to supply balls for the year. The club will foot this bill as usual.
•Manager Martin Haddaway was asked if he had any response to the recent allegations in the Gorchester Weekly, he declined comment without his lawyer.
•Fans asked if the ball boys would return this year, the club advised due to the previously mentioned budget costs, children would have to pay for the privilege. £20 per game, but they do get a pair of match worn socks.
•CEO Richard Costan then took time to discuss the new club badge and motto. He advised that this was a new chapter in the clubs history, and wanted to mark it with something special. When challenged on the incorrect date on the club badge, he advised that unfortunately the club had gone to EZ Printing in Fluck for the design to be made, and they saw the opportunity for a quick prank. Instead of using the 1927 date (marking the clubs inauguration to the South West Rivers and Hills League) they swapped they swapped the 2 and 7 around. Due to the clubs tight budget, they could not afford to make the change. Something that will be rectified in the event of a money spinning cup run.
PS, Gerry often comments about your calves, he says he thinks you shave but I said you don't.

Re: The club badge
That’s classic, Fluck, that is. Absolute disgrace. No class about them. I’m seriously thinking about boycotting the garden centre there, the one that does the lovely Victoria Sponge Cakes. They are seriously to die for. Janet will not be happy but some things are bigger than baked goods and she’ll understand in time.
I DO NOT shave my legs. Who is Gerry? Who has he been talking to?? PM sent.

Can’t remember the exact price. It was cheaper than that posh one down Nailsworth harbour but more expensive than that little one in Spillington with the Jack Russell roaming around. Sorry I can’t be more helpful.
