The Kettering Town (Poppies) Popular People’s Front - by John Cecil

The Kettering Town (Poppies) Popular People’s Front is a new organisation being set up by

supporters of Kettering Town FC to provide a transparent, honest, trustworthy, sincere,

honest, innovative, reliable, honest, collaborative, progressive and honest working body of

supporters run by the supporters and accountable to the organisers of the group with the

simple aim of making sure supporters have full transparency of ongoings at our football club

with a representative gaining a place in the back seat of the Kettering Town FC Chairman’s

car at all times that he is travelling to and doing business on behalf of KTFC. We will leave no

stone unturned and will be the new voice on KTFC Chitter Chatter keeping all fans abreast of

the workings and ongoings at our wonderful Football Club.

We should not be confused with the newly formed Kettering Town (Poppies) Supporters

Truth who, in turn are nothing to do with The Kettering Town (Poppies) Supporters Trust

and sound nothing like them as their aim is to privately monitor the ongoings and financial

decisions of The Trust and will be open, honest and transparent with their findings.

One of the aims of The Truth is to explore the possibility, with the club, of raising the

concession age at The Turnstiles to 67 in line with the DWP. Our expert financial board

member suggests that if just 2.5% of our 800 diehards fall into this age bracket that will

amount to 20 x £5 x 42 games over 2 seasons raising £4,200 for something like improving

the Poppies bar toilet facilities, although work may have already begun on this as at the last

Saturday home game there was still blue paper towel in one of the dispensers at 2.20 PM.

A suggestion by Chairman, Blain, is that also some elder people continue in full time work

beyond 67 therefore he is suggesting that people have a digital copy of their P60 on their

phones to show at the turnstile to prove that they are not receiving a regular wage.

When asked to comment on the above a member of the Kettering Town (Poppies) Travelling

Supporters Army (Broughton division), PT, said “Well, I dunt really know much about that,

me ol’ duck. I were pissed at the last meeting as air Rich was late turning up. I do know we

got a car up for Needum Market next Satdy.”

The Kettering Town (Poppies) Supporters bar 1966 committee have put forward plans to

introduce a Membership scheme with a one-off payment of £20 entitling members to 5%

off all drinks consumed on a Tuesday lunch time between Noon and 1400 hrs. All profits will

go towards the Football Club’s initiative to install a side pond at the South West corner of

the ground to allow the pitch to permanently drain into during future tropical downpours.

The Kettering Town (Poppies) Litter pickers Association, who’s membership has recently

doubled, have pledged the £5 note they found at the back of the Tin Hat Stand recently to

club coffers and have obtained 73p in loose change that will also be redirected to the club

once rounded up. We thank them for their transparency and integrity.

In other news Terrapin Christian of the Pitcairn Island branch of the Kettering Town

(Poppies) ANZAC supporters Alliance has requested scarves (Preferably Poppies) to be sent

to him so that they can decorate his new bar on the island.

Finally, and rather unfortunately, Gee White, representative of the Kettering Town (Poppies)

Digital Online Media News Agency has had to issue the following brief statement.

“The recent tweet on our very public Snapbook page in no way represents the views of the

group and was sent out in error. When we posted “Go get those pesky Inuits” it was just one

of us trying to explain how World War 3 could be initiated. It was not intended for a wider

audience and we will be issuing a full apology to The Kremlin once we have found somebody

that had absolutely nothing to do with the original post and speaks a bit of Russian.”

"Oi, no standing on the yellow lines
- we can't see owt!"
