Biggleswade Frown FC

It's an interesting swing of emotions this - on one hand, everything is really taking off quickly, feedback is great and I can't wait for it to steam ahead, on the other, the enormity of the tasks ahead make me wonder how the heck I'm going to fit it all in and fizzling out might allow me enough time to do all the other things in life that I need to. But no, the path is chosen and onward we go.
I read a forum where a Biggleswade Town player/supporter was clearly getting upset (there is a history of playground politics that certainly pre-dates me but I am not above giving the merry-go-round a quick shove of my own) that BUFC were planning such a project.
Further, they were outraged that the ambition might be to climb the leagues - Lord help us for wishing to push out of the current league (see Gretna, Histon et al)
Finally, that 5000 people would be making on the field decisions.
In truth, I wish BTFC well and I am pleased they are doing really well in the league but seriously, what is there to lose? How can you get upset at people for simply trying something? The alternatives are to bobble around in the same league for the next 5 years on a slim fan base; find a rich benefactor (who will no doubt want someting in return); or hope that the next Giggs and Rooney land at the club and provide a couple of years of glory.
Phew.
I will be video-ing the match on Saturday (providing we can find a cherry picker!) as I happen to have a TV grade camera so we'll see how my directing skills go.
New press release out tomorrow - "Official Launch" and 500 paid members (1200 signed up).
I noticed one of the signed up members is named the same as the brains behind myFC - surely chance?
Till next time...
