Long defunct Poppies fanzine mysteriously on sale again now!

PATGOD 150 will be available on New Year's Day from various outlets around Latimer Park (and likely to remain so far into the future).  Or, without leaving the familiar surroundings of your empty-beer-bottle festooned, fetid Yuletide domicile, online here - 

Buy your Anniversary Patgod here!

Inside the cover you will thrill to -

  • New articles about players you will need to be in your late-forties to even dimly recall
  • Reprints of cartoons that weren't that funny the first time around
  • New articles about managers you will need to be in your late-forties to even dimly recall
  • Memories of when the Poppies bestrode non-league football like an angry Tyrannosaurus Rex
  • New articles about chairmen you will need to be in your late-forties to even dimly recall

So, if the game against Peterborough Sports isn't holding your full attention*, dig out your copy of the 150th Anniversary special and lose yourself in better days when a crap season meant finishing 5th in the Conference National.  Times when we had rivals that were a genuine threat to our very existence, and not just dreamt up by the Nationwide North fixture compiler and the local newspaper.  A period when a thousand Poppies fans travelling to an away game happened far more times than the same number turn up for home games nowadays.  A time when we kidded ourselves that League Football was within our grasp.


*difficult to believe, but perhaps you aren't warming to the Sport's version of all-out-war, thinly disguised as association football, seeing their players bite at every comment made from the sidelines or enjoying watching Connor Kennedy sadly having a mental breakdown in front of you.
