I'm amazed at how much Stevenage fans say they don't like us! I think it must be an attempt of their part to create some kind of artificial local derby, because they don't have any rivals apart from bloody Woking.
I've never given a toss about Stevenage before, and I still don't today.

Where is the abuse of the Stevenage fans on the match day thread? I see plenty of abuse of the team and the manager, who richly deserve it, but not of the fans.
Westley's comments are actually pretty fair and reasonable, particularly coming from him, but some vile stuff from a couple of their fans - who'd want another club to go bust? Franchise aside.

they must be a bit touchy about their style of play and as was said before we haven't anything against Stevenage fans just Westleys approach to the game.
It depends on how you put it. I am not saying that you can't be critical of the opposition team and manager but don't be surprised if their fans take umbrage and remember it for later on.
End of the day, whatever their tactics was/where worked. They came away with a point, which 99% thought would be 3 points, when Stevenage where awarded a penalty.
We our at the business end of the season, sides like this should be put to the sword.
Fair comment from BerniceRawlings. 20 odd years ago I worked in London with a Rod Rawlings (probably approaching 80 now). Wonder if Bernice is a daughter/granddaughter.

'The Stevenage fans came across exactly as you would expect'
Yup.
Was expecting worse from them. .
Giving out abuse to opposition fans AFTER the game (if this really did happen) isn't on though. Stevenage fans need our sympathy to be honest.

You are right in that respect but the abuse you do mention will not have endeared us to their supporters.
The implication of what you say is that we shouldn't criticise the opposition team's tactics in case it upsets their fans. That is surely nonsense.
