Don't forget to keep going on their forum and stirring up the hornets nest, we know what a nasty set of chavs the players and their supporters can be.....

I like your attitude young man, you must enamour yourself to many people you meet.
You are right after all; Meltham is such a wonderful place full of wonderful people like yourself. In fact I may even start looking at house prices in your region, just so that I can move closer to such loveliness.
Do enjoy you climb through the basement divisions, and I really hope that you aren’t past it when you eventually reach the Promised Land.
Thank you for you time.

Meltham is such a delightful little village and I wont have a bad word said against it. From the industrial greatness of Meltham Mills to the panoramic and cosmopolitan Broadlands, the village is bursting at the seams with friendly faced smiles, wit and mirth. It is as if God himself has given us mere mortals a glimpse of heaven amongst this sorry barren land of ours. Meltham is truly God's own country.
Do enjoy your football with a smile on your face dear sir, it's not true what they say the whole world isn't against you.

They say that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. Amongst all the unruly people in Meltham it is the football club that is putting Meltham on the map in recent years,where as for Honley there is also a club putting the village on the map. Unfortunatly for you it has been the cricket club who i will be looking forward to watching again this next summer. Perhaps you may win something now all the top teams in Huddersfield have gone to try to better themselves but you shall have to get past our SECOND team .(stiffs)

The Meltham/Honley rivalry thing has been done many times before (since the earliest of school days in fact).
Generations of the valley kids have had this 'we're better than you' attitude.
For years, Honley and Meltham have tried to out achieve one, both having their success and failures. Meltham are currently on a high, but nothings achieved by slogging it out on a forum.
Legends have been and gone. Those players now written into folklore as past and present players reminisce in a back-hole pub over a pint after watching their team on a Saturday afternoon.
Books have been written, songs sung, prayers prayed and football played all in the hope that one of these teams will in their generation become the ultimate side.
“Football is not what it used to be” – we keep getting told! Standards have dropped; the West Riding Premier is now like what the old District Division One used to be like. District One is now what the reserve division was like (although theoretically there we no reserves just nine straight leagues). Who cares!? Not me, not anyone I talk to. Our parents - no? Our grandparents and their parents - I've not heard them mention anything.
The older generation and the above mentioned legends aren’t concerned that Meltham are playing their way through the West Riding Leagues or that Honley are now playing against Meltham's 'stiffs', they don't seem to care!
It's old news, as proven above - it's been done, move on, forget it, rise above it. If people are still troubled by it let them be, but I'm telling you its old hat. Honley folk are no longer in a generation that this concerns, they have out grown it.
I no longer care about this rivalry. It’s become boring and predictable, just like watching Meltham (gotta ya ;D)

Interesting points.
However you fail to regard the fellows who are currently playing for either team, or the generations of schoolboys who have had their education spoilt by Meltham children not having the basic interpersonal skills to behave appropriately at Honley High Schools. Good points though, I'm glad you were moved enough to write your piece.

Honley FC - quite right, both teams are doing extremely well in their respective leagues, long may it continue.
Note to Honley Committee - If you win the league this season, and I do hope you succeed on that front. Why not move to County Amateur? You seem to have a team that would be quite capable of holding their own, and in his 'own way' the Meltham man did have a valid point about why Meltham left the league to better themselves.

Honley do not own their own pitch so they wont be able to have the pitch surrounded with a fence. Their only hope would be to purchase their own field.
Additionally the standard of divisions one and two of the WRCA are below that of division one of the District League, as illustrated by the results when the two leagues play each other. It would take a minimum of thwo seasons to reach the Prem, and then you are playing teams that are quite far away (Keighley / Otley). Players don't want to travel that far to play teams and against players that you aren't really bothered about. The pluses are the better pitches / standard of players / standard of referees. A better step would be up to the North East Counties.
