No doubt some will say 'it's all a bit corporate' but no one can say the club aren't doing their bit ...

... if more people sang, cheered and clapped the club wouldn't have to think about it.

The Fulwell end started from 2pm onwards, starting with the young lads and the voices gradually deepening as the pubs turned out <laugh>

Ha'way the Lad!!!
