Daza and I came up with this wonderful idea while chatting on MSN Messenger last night  We were talking about how great truly tinpot football clubs are. The more tinpot, the better. Bless them all! We think that these tinpot clubs ought to be celebrated. So why not start a Tinpot Club? The Tinpot Club would meet fairly regularly at a different tinpot match each time. Members would nominate clubs as tinpot and fixtures would be examined. We'd go and watch tinpot matches and revel in the glory of true tinpoticity. Now I've already been offered Hailsham Town, but I think I would really like to go to Netherne. I went to look them up, but apparently they are now Coulsdon Town. Even their website is delightfully tinpot! I could stay on there for hours just watching what happens when you move the mouse around really fast www.coulsdontownfc.com/Thoughts, anyone? |

(Hmmm...must register properly soon...)
Whitehawk is quite tinpot, but in a decent-looking way. Amber will probably well know Whitehawk's reputation in Brighton itself, but the football ground looks well-kept and purdy, nestling in the downs there.
It's not as tinpot as Hailsham Town, or somewhere like Mile Oak! ;D

It's a fantastic idea, but surely any side that has managed to produce a website, however naff and unreadable, is just not Tinpot enough for this idea. I'd like to nominate Beer Albion in Devon (for the name if nothing else) and the very dear to my heart Darlaston Town, a club who never know from one week to the next whether they will have enough players or enough money to pay them if they turn up! Waverley Road also has the steepest slope on a pitch I have ever seen, at half-time they not only change ends, they exchange crampons! (See the 2nd picture here from Pyramid Passion): www.pyramidpassion.co.uk/html/darlaston_town_.html*EDIT* Beer Albion might be out, I have found a website!

I read the title of this thread as 'Tinhat Club'. You have to go back many years in the history of a certain (you get the picture by now) to understand about the Tinhat end.
I've got my personal Tinpot Club fixture arranged already. Marine v Gateshead on 26 Aug. Please feel free to turn up.
peekay is going to fall foul of the Conf Arrogant mafia :-)

While rummaging through some programmes in the Programme shop t'other day, I came across a team I had never heard of before. Princes End United. Does anyone know if they still exist. I can't find them if they do.
