Big Foul at Little Spurs


Fleet Spurs is a local football club formed in 1948 in homage to the Tottenham Hotspur by a group of young footballers playing friendly matches in the Fleet and Aldershot area.

They were admitted into the Aldershot and District League in 1951. They currently play in the Wessex League Division 1.


As well as a senior team and reserve side Fleet Spurs run more than 20 boys and girls teams.


My son-in-law, many of my friends and our grandson Ryan, pictured here proudly wearing his club jacket, play or have played for Fleet Spurs.

They are a true community grass roots club encouraging youngsters to play the game from the age of 5 years and upwards and many of the first team players have graduated through from the youth set up.

They have an excellent ground and facilites at Kennels Lane in Southwood with one full side pitch and 7 junior, 5-a-side and training pitches.



The club badge has always featured a cockerel on a ball, the same as the North London side, the rising stars of English football at the time of Fleet Spurs formation.

And that my friends is where the trouble begins.

Europa League giants Tottenham Rotspurs , who only registered their logo in 2006, have called in top lawers in order to bully Fleet Spurs into changing their badge and signage or risk being sued for copyright infringement:

The club will now hold a competition among their supporters to find a new logo.

My entry also includes changing the name of the club!


What a load of old cockerel!  Lighten up Rotspurs.

Heres Boris doing what comes naturally to him:



NICE ONE CYRIL!
