We're Still Here

For us supporters it has been a frustratingly addictive season. So much so that nearly 1,200 of us have ‘kept the faith’ throughout the peaks and troughs. If there is a success story in FCHT’s first season it is this. To know that this loyalty exists, that this passion continues to be there against all the odds, to know above all that you can‘t knock a good man down. The last 50 years of the club has seen little in the way of success but much in the way of failure - perhaps to the extent that we could even describe it as spectacular.

After the final insult that saw the house of cards collapse and club old expire one would have thought that even the die hards might have died. But for some reason and despite all that common sense tells us, this team are regularly capable of stirring up such emotions and energy beyond almost anything else in our lives. It shouldn’t be that way but it is. Sure, as we go into 2009/10 a few will tail off but most of us will stay and with that bunch I am proud to stand shoulder to shoulder, proud to be a Shayman.
