Great article. As a member of the Armed Forces and a season ticket holder, I emailed the 'reporter' and pointed out the great work that the club does for us military types (which other clubs and indeed companies do this?) and suggested that, if he had any decency, he would issue an apology and make a large donation to the Poppy Appeal AND Acorns. Good point re the freedom of press by the way. I cannot stand the fact the vast majority of people in this country now blindly believe anything they read in 'newspapers' or see on tv.

Sir, Are the club looking to take action against the libelous story the News of the World ran regarding the Poppy Appeal today. I think at the very least they should publish an apology and I suggest they should also make a big donation to BOTH the Poppy Appeal and Acorns for their disgraceful actions. I feel extremely upset that someone should try and paint the club in such a bad light, especially being a member of the Armed Forces and a staunch supporter of the Royal British Legion. My parents are both members of the Royal British Legion and sell Poppies and organise events for veterans. As I'm sure it is a subject close to your heart, could I suggest the club could go even further in publically showing this story was totally incorrect by inviting local veterans to attend the Middlesborough game for free and give them a parade so that we can all show our support. My parents and I (we are all season tickets holders) would gladly offer any assistance we could. Keep up the great work that everyone at the club has put in which has made such a difference to the club, its supporters and the local community. It really does mean a lot.

Totally agree that at the end of the day, its whatever catches on. IMO, a lot of these 'wordy' chants seem great but when everyone trys to chant it, it just comes out garbled. How does the 'Viva' song go-I guess it's based on Viva Espana and will end something like 'Viva its Cuellar'?

What tune does this go with? Sorry if I'm just being dense!

I guess that must be it- last line doesn't go though imo :| Not a big fan of this one I'm afraid

What tune does this go to?

Sorry to break up the Cuellar chant debate but some random thoughts I had of some simple and easy chants (sorry if these been done-haven't got time to go through all this thread) Old favourite Chris Price 'no hair' chant adapted for Sidwell: Stevie, Steve Sidwell Stevie, Steve Sidwell Ginger hair but we don't care Stevie, Steve Sidwell 'Shore.......y, Shore.........y' - In the style of the Aussies 'Warney' chant for Shane Warne

Hi Sir, Before I get on to the subject, can I say how much I respect the job you are doing for our club-especially appreciate the recognition you are giving us Military guys (you are teaching a few institutions in this country a thing or two about that!). Anyway, on to the real reason for the post. Having looked on avfc.com, I believe there is no supporters' club covering Hampshire. I don't want to sound like i'm begging for anything here but can the club help out at all if we were to try and set one up? Cheers
