heathen79 6 Posted August 18, 2010 Steve a question, i read somewhere further up in this topic, that there were a 100 or so Heathens fans at Poole, from what i have been told this guesstimate was way out..how many would you have estimated..?? I am terrible at estimating those kind of figures. Certainly in excess of 100 I'd say but not necessarily 'way out'. Best view I had was watching Heat 15 from the 3rd/4th bend (as I was trying to beat the rush out of the car park to catch a ferry back to the IoW). When Jake and Lee went round on their back wheels to celebrate the 5-1, it looked like the whole of the Grandstand were on their feet, chanting 'Heathens, Heathens...' - just wish I had captured it on video or at least taken a pic.

Parsloes 1928 nearly 495 Posted August 21, 2010 Finally, the wonderful HEATHENS FANS - what a turn out all the way down at Poole (and Isle of Wight) on a midweek match. I just wish the home tracks would wake up to the fact that we're bringing a big following. After queuing in traffic for half an hour to reach the stadium, the car park was full and programmes had sold out. Many fans didn't get a programme and lots of Heathens fans are quite avid collectors, so this was a real inconvenience and disappointment. Hmm, maybe not that many though who post on here, as NO-ONE has taken up my offer of a copy from the meeting..!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

britmet 233 Posted August 21, 2010 Thats true Parsloes, probably only around 6 of us who contribute on here..i would guess. Maybe its because all the Heathens fans were early, in the front of the queue, - we had to wait >30mins for the gates to open - , and all got a programme. It would be the locals, who turn up just in time for the parade, that might not have got a prog ! . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glad that you got a prog as I agree it would've been a shame if you'd missed out... Actually on that subject, Nigel the prog. editor did ask me what Heathens fans thought of our humble effort... So go on, what's your verdict..?!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For my part there's absolutely no question that the best NL prog. (by some considerable distance...) this year is...: yours at Dudley...! Well done to all involved...
