No Nay Never, 2019 wild Rover(s)

Juvenile but nice to see them go all Alan Partridge about it.

Not really sure how to link this, Sydenham v Streatham team sheets.

Reading a few more tweets it's possible this isn't as harmless as it seems? Is there a story behind this?

[Ray de Galles]

You know Streatham Rovers are a hoax side/account (or have I just spoiled your continuation of the gag)?

[RobW]

ESPN ran the story (then later deleted it).

[Snake Plissken]

Good to see that they are making the most of the publicity.

I didn't no. Makes a bit more sense now.

As the person who runs the Streatham Rovers account pointed out the other day, it continues to amaze just how many football fans can't see that it's a hoax. (No offence, RobM)

It's fantastically done - I don't know if it was the original one, but so many spoofs have started up in recent years due to it's success.

Heh heh heh none taken, certainly got me. Now in the position thankfully that when I'm a daft gullible git I can blame it on the stroke rather than erm.. beiing a daft gullible git. Something didn't quite sit right with it but I'm way too trusting.

[Sean of the Shed]

At least you aren't alone Rob, not a single researcher on Have I Got News For You realised it was a spoof either.

[Big Boobs and FIRE!]

I wonder what their shirt sponsor makes of it.
