lappinitup 629 Posted March 12, 2012 Yep, I''m talking about those half-time heroes, the forkers! As soon as the players trudge off the field, there they are, forking about. How do they get there? I never seem to see them walking on to the pitch and yet suddenly, they''re there. Sometimes it''s so cold it must be forking hell but there they are, forking their divots. How do you become a forker? I''ve never even met one. Do they have to be forking trained? Do they get Paid? Do YOU know a forker?Fork on...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 0 Posted March 12, 2012 There''s the song about the forkers in the history of forking online atThe National Forking College. It goes: Fork on, Fork on, with hope in your heart, and you''ll never fork alone, you''ll never fork alone. Liverpool liked it so much when their forking forkers sung it before a match that they changed it and used it as their anthem. Fork me! (as the divot said to the forker) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Chops 7 Posted March 12, 2012 As I understand it there are a lot of little forkers who are all managed by the mother forker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,509 Posted March 12, 2012 I remember when we''d have the British Legion Brass Band to entertain us at halftime. Good wholesome family tunes that we could stamp our feet to. Now all we get are these old forkers replacing divots no doubt kicked out by those would be forkers doing the cross bar challenge. Boo the forkers off that''s what I say![:@] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lake district canary 0 Posted March 13, 2012 I have heard from a good source at the club that the shovellers are up in arms about the way some posters on here are so biased in favour of the forkers. Spades are just as useful as forks and the shovellers would like it known they work just as hard in the winter when the snow is around and when they need to spread sand around the bare patches on the pitch. Apparently, the technique of shovelling is much more advanced than forking - working on the surface without damaging the delicate area underneath. With the fork, less face it, all you do is stick it in and wiggle it around (its what teenagers do, when they get the chance!) Give me a spade any day, its a proper tool to do a man''s work...........forks are for girls................................. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
