I’ve greedily written two different parts for my contribution to the World Poetry Day Football Poems. The first is a sonnet for fan-owned clubs and the second is 3 limericks, each one for a different fan owned club. (I’ve gone for a fan-owned club theme if you haven’t realised!) A sonnet for fan-owned clubs
As the modern game suffocates due to financial bane,
There are some who are pushing for it to be changed,
The following is for them as they are keeping it sane,
As they ensure football and fans are never estranged
These clubs will always be safe from the predators,
The fans, the saviours, all want one thing,
That never again should they owe to creditors,
Pride, pleasure and protection to their clubs they shall bring
With honesty and transparency is how they shall work,
No longer in silence, as they can now have their say,
To the fans go the responsibilities and not one will they shirk,
And directly to their club goes the admission that they pay
They are showing others the way to a land of opportunity,
Now the fan owned clubs are giving football back to the community.
Not particularly funny limericks for a select few fan-owned clubs
A club was formed as you may recall,
By some fools in a bingo hall,
The ‘ell bent committee
“Killed” Chester City
But now they are having a ball.
FC United of Manchester
They are not big fans of the yank,
Who is always in debt to the bank,
Playing at Gigg lane,
For their campaign,
Now without an American crank.
AFC Wimbledon
Along came help through the Dons Trust,
They started again,
Promotions attained,
And a return to the league would be just.
Throughout the day, a piece of football poetry has appeared on various football blogs.
The contributors are;
