I read the report at the weekend, this is unheard of. Congrats to Ware. 800-plus people went to see it. The Kidderminster game is sure to swell the coffers for Ware FC and is all ticket (£6 for pensioners or children up to 16 years old, £12 adult standing, £15 adult seats). Tickets on sale on 4th November, 10am til 2pm. Biggest game for many years in these parts.

Must be at those prices, It does sound a lot. Good for Ware though, they have something to be proud of [;)]

Here's the reason why the price is higher than usual .. it all makes sense when you read this http://www.wareonline.co.uk/haveyoursay/topic.php?id=2540#27826

Azza, a bit of my posting must have dropped off. I do understand and agree with the ticket pricing, it's just the fact that the pensioners can only be in the standing area.

The two teams have been drawn to play each other in the next round of the Herts Charity Cup at Wodson Park. Match to be played by December 31st, though no date fixed as yet, mainly because Ware have a growing fixture backlog due to cup successes. Hertford also have a full fixture list until the end of November, so it should be played sometime in December, though I can see it being played on a Thursday night the way the fixtures are becoming congested.

Thank you so no date as yet would be good if we played them on Boxing Day because the S.S.M.L. don't arrange fixtures around the Christmas holidays not sure about Div 1 for Ware.

Maybe true But I would hazard a guess that many younger Hertford residents would be hard pushed to point to Hertford on a map of the UK In fact, I bet many wouldn't even be able to point to the UK!

Well myself and Batty's Major and Minor are lifelong Harriers supporters and are hoping that tickets will still be available. Compo, however, is supporting Ware. And a lot of people in Ware couldn't point to Ware on a map, never mind Kiddy. Kidderminster is considerably bigger than Ware, so generally easier to find.

Why should I support Ware. They are our local rivals and I hope they lose. Why is it pretty poor? Should I support Watford then as well and Luton as they are local? This is HERTFORD Online. Ware Online is elsewhere so take your back slapping there and allow me to express my animosity to our neighbours. WE HAVE BEEN DOING IT FOR YEARS. Jog on.[:D][:D][:D]

Being a lifelong Spurs fan I would never suddenly turn around and support Arsenal because we'd been knocked out of the cup -never in a million years, so I can see where Wrapper is coming from about supporting Ware.

Because you come across as a petty bad loser. This is minor level stuff and not a rivalry in the Spurs/Arsenal or Celtic/Rangers league - to make it so is pretty lame. Yes, I would love to see Hertford still in there but it was not to be - get over it. I have no affiliation to Ware whatsoever, but I salute their considerable achievement and wish them all the best in the match.

I have attended a few games at Hertford & it seems to me that a few Hertford supporters would totally disagree with you there & also the loyal Ware fans please can you explain the difference between minor league football and the higher levels of football fan rivalry so all loyal Hertford fans who travel away with the team everywhere they play can understand the difference you state, I'm not saying that every Hertford fan dislikes Ware but I have came across a few & you can sense the rivalry in the Derby matches between the 2 sets of fans. Thank you.

Exactly. Listen, I grew up with the rivalry against Ware Lions/Youth etc whilst playing for Bengeo and Bury. I also had this at Sele School against Chauncy etc. I have a lot of friends in Ware, home grown and new residents, and it is great to have a bit of banter. So I haven't got a small town mentality, I have grown up being rivals of Ware. I hate all this "Let's support the local team" rubbish. I am Hertford and want Ware to lose. It is also amazing that they suddenly have a couple of thousand fans as well. Johnny Come Latelys - I hate em!!!

Have a look at this the post by Spear at the top of the thread. http://www.wareonline.co.uk/haveyoursay/topic.asp?whichpage=4&TOPIC_ID=2540#28168 I think a lot of youngsters will be there with out adults so he will have to be careful if you know what I mean not so much in the ground but on the way there & back, best if he doesn't show his colours but in the ground should be ok.

(Spits tea across keyboard) Moves?! Only in his dreams, bless him. You know when you see a sleeping dog chasing rabbits? That's Compo these days. More parts with rugby injuries than not and the older he gets, the more the injuries come back to haunt him. I guess all Forum readers going to the match will now instantly recognise Compo and son!

Dell Boy, I think you may have misunderstood the point I was making. At FA insistance the fans for the game are to be segregated and fences erected. As I understand Kidderminster fans will not be allowed in the Ware section.

No I have not misunderstood anything just putting a link to your post, I did not make any comment about the segregation issue. LOOK AGAIN SPEAR. But now I will comment, will they be any segregation in The clubhouse, how many gaps, Police, Stewards between the segregation in the seats can you answer that for me? Looking at your post it seems to me that you were being hostile towards us on Hertford online.

Hi there Dell Boy, what a friendly chap you are, nice aggressive post there, including shouting. Your original post implies you think he would not be safe and you linked my post to that comment, I was simply trying to be helpful. I am nothing to do with Ware FC so how would I be able to answer your questions? You made no comment on the segregation issue but said he could stand with the Ware fans in his Kiddy shirt, as I understand, this would not be allowed so I pointed it out rather than have him turn up and be refused entry. I originally said "Nice to see our friends in Hertford are offering their full support" how is that hostile? I then suggested those intending to support Kidderminster be informed that they would need to buy tickets for the right end or they would not be allowed in, again how is that hostile? If there is anyone here who is hostile it is you. (eta I even took the trouble to register here so I could let Nora Batty know the situation - I could have just not bothered)

I think we will let others on the forum portray your post from Ware on line, thank you for your compliment on friendly chap. In my post I did not say he could stand with the Ware fans this is what I said: "best if he doesn't show his colours but in the ground should be ok". If the stewards at Ware have any common sense they would not refuse entry or ask them to leave the ground but simply ask them if they would like to go among the Kidderminster fans if they didn't want to then I don't know what actions Ware would take, but I'm sure they would be a sensible outcome. May I ask you do you attend Ware games regular or any other football matches & will you be going to the game on Saturday a great day for Ware F.C. & the town of Ware. I apologize if I have offended you in any way.
