HOLWELL SPORTS FC: my only previous visit... THE RAILWAY CARRIAGE & THE IGNORANT FAN...

Holwell Sports Carriage

It was like an open-sided railway carriage,

Angled, derailed,

Vandalised

And bereft of interior:

Desecrated.

No seats, no tables,

No windows, no communication cables;

Listing, attesting

To better days

Of British Railways…

Yet merely a viewing shelter,

A shed, a shack,

A spectators’ platform, if somewhat inferior…

April, 2010

Holwell Sports’ covered terrace reminded me of a ramshackle carriage…

Ignorant Wag

Wilting notebook,

Too tall,

Winter scarf,

Booming banter:

Bouncing banalities 

Off disciples of ignorance…

Goading the goalie,

Too cruel;

Ranter laughed:

Brimming bluster,

Bellowing blisters

At custodian of innocence…

Tall, veteran fan, attempting to amuse some listening individuals. He succeeded. He struck me as an ignorant clown. 

The wasted wag.
