I'm a walton & hersham fc supporter and will not be a walton united casuals hersham athletic town afc fc supporter as I wouldn't have much of an interest in the merged team. It just wouldn't be the same. People can agree or disagree,but once that merger happens then everything associated with walton and hersham fc will be lost forever.

We don't know what promises have been made to casuals but that's the impression almost every one got. Who visited that day they certainly see it as there's .We all want modern grounds ,updated facilities in the centre of town. Where kids can walk to the ground or only have to take one bus .Are you aware that most of the reserve team come to training and matches by train after work or college. If we want to keep them how can we expect them to pay train fairs full price ,full price bus fares for two buses just to reach the grounds if the buses run that late.just because we are against this does not mean we want everything to stay the same .Our kids teams known as the trolls are very successful as are our youth team we want to bring them throught to adult hood . And who knows if we had a secure site it might make it a better investment for someone to come in and give the chairman a hand.

From what I can gather from outher forum sites , so is not definite but the councillors on these sites talk as if the council will be in charge. They talk about renting the site to schools and the like .We don't know what promises have been made to walton casuals .i think there in for a shock this council is only interested in pounds not people.

Couldn't agree more Anne! Think we knew this from way back at the beginning didn't we? Shame that council can't do what they did at Rotherham, when the council was declared "not fit for purpose" and all the councillors were forced to resign and were taken over completely by a new set! They have demonstrated total disregard for our club and its views and to add insult to injury have boarded up our stand at a ridiculously disproportionate cost to what simple repairs would have been! There are a few councillors who, whilst protecting the interests of the tennis club, seem to view football and athletics as pastimes for the peasants!!! And so we have to suffer potential anonymity by sharing other facilities which in themselves have problems galore just waiting to emerge!!! I for one will never ever forgive the council for their attitudes and am thankful that whilst an avid Walton & Hersham supporter i am not one of their ratepayers!!!! Whilst the behaviour of certain MPs is disgusting, that of the Elmbridge councillors is beyond belief!!!!! We can only hope that the next local elections sees many of them looking for new jobs!!!

Oh fred if only I am a ratepayer to this dictatorship I can only hope that they have exposed themselves to those residents who to quote one lady at one of the consultations "I would never have believed a Tory council would ignore their own" I presum she meant well to do .".
