No way is this a way of "sticking two fingers up" at Joe Dixon. He'll probably be totally oblivious to the fact that the STFC faithful have gone off to support another club and won't care a stuff.

I'm sure those who brokered this "deal" did it with the best of intentions but football is about passion. The word that's been used a good deal is "heart" but I think that is something of a euphemism.

If there should only be one club in Staines then why one club in North London. Because hell would freeze over before Arsenal got into bed with Tottenham and Gooners would build the best club they could with the resources available if their club went down the pan and don't tell me the two cannot be compared because it is all about passion which I would suggest ought to dictate that STFC supporters start a phoenix club and just do the best they can even if it means starting in the Worple Road and District League. At least ALL the old Swans fans should be united in the venture.

I don't know the minds of the people who've made the decision but it smacks of a certain impatience to get back up the leagues and all conversations concerning the Lammas prior to the announcement were of a groundshare for the NEW club and I know other supporters were quite taken aback when the situation became clearer.

To be honest Torquay Rob your message tells me you have no idea where Devon Swan is coming from. Staines and Lammas is just a name change, nothing more, nothing less.

Has any watched Dagenham & Redbridge recently? None of their supporters chant for Dagenham & Redbridge. Just Dagenham.

This happens all the time in football but it continually misses the point. Ossett Albion merged with Ossett Town (yes, I know we're saying this isn't a merger but let's be honest it is "in spirit") to form Ossett United so that the town would have a more competitve club but the supporters of Town and Albion didn't support the town, they supported the club. Gooners and Spurs don't support North London.
