'Your website is getting better and better. I've added it to my "favourites" and now check for updates regularly.' (Steve B)
'I just wanted to email you regarding your website, FGIF. I am a long time reader (is that the right word?!) of the site and must say it is absolutely fantastic, I was/am a groundhopper, although limited as I am also coach of an Essex Senior side and have always used your site to decide which grounds I fancy. I think it's a top class effort, I really enjoy your site and can only really thank you for taking the time to regularily maintain it and keep it going as an outlet for us sad b*****s all around the world! All the best.' (Jack) Football Coaching Academy.'You have built my favourite website in the world! Well done. I am the rugby union correspondent of the Sunday Express but am something of a non-league junkie, I have sent you a review of a game I went to in France on Sunday, I hope its ok'. (Neil)
