Not many people will know but Dave was celebrating 40 years of service to our football club on Friday nights match. Its a great record for service as a volunteer. Well done David.

Can't find the thumbs up or applause icons!
Dave and his dad Terry were the first people who befriended me and my dad when we first frequented Nyewood Lane back in 1974. Top chaps.

Blimey, that makes me feel really old.
We used to have great fun with a very young David, his Dad & 3 Uncles + other assorted misfits: Piggo, Derby Dave, Pixy etc particularly travelling to away games which from memory were usually in the south west, places like Trowbridge & Salisbury come to mind.
I remember when I moved away, giving David my collection of 'important' Rocks programmes - happy days.

Great work Dave. Without people like you, Clubs would be mediocre in my eyes.

Volunteers are the lifeblood of non league football and clubs can’t operate without them. Many will come and go but David is a true club stalwart and no doubt he’ll be giving us many more years of service.

Given that you consistantly come on this board criticising virtually everything about this club, I find it very strange that you make a comment like that. Especially since you moved away for many years to Cyprus and now live quite a way away from the club and havnt been to a game for ages. |

I have known Dave for a long time whenever I came back we always had a chat a true stalwart who I greatly respect a nice bloke which in sport is not always the case hope that answers your question. I am sure you are a nice gentleman Peter as well who works hard for the club

I wouldn't mess with "Tiger" Helsby. Typical Yorkshireman calling a spade a spade, but a longstanding hard worker at the club with a wicked dry sense of humour.

I have only criticised two people from the club in over 30 years I can no longer travel to matches as the distance is too great and would have loved for Bognor to have gone into the Southern League to enable me to get to local matches have made local
Matches against the rocks Poole Weymouth Froome to name a few. I seem to remember alerting you once with regard to your email address being hacked thought that was helpful but maybe I was wrong
Because I can no longer travel long distances anymore hence why I can’t get to home matches doesn’t mean I don’t or cant support the club anymore
Peter as far as I know just because you can’t get to matches anymore doesn’t make you any less a supporter I will keep my criticism to a minimum but if you care to check my history you will see it has only been the odd occasion and not consistently as you imply
