The confusions comes from the fact that my brother lives less than half a mile from Palace's ground and his postal address is Thornton Heath, Surrey.

Woking, Guildford and Leatherhead are the only towns in Surrey who have ever had half decent football teams.

There has never been a league football side in Surrey, despite it being one of the largest county, and the wealthiest.
But there has been an FA Cup winning club.

True, assuming Old Carthusians F.C. actually played in Godalming back in the era when players wore their normal day time clothes to play in!

Caterham might not have a good football team...but they've got a better F1 team than Grimsby

Don't forget the Staines Massive who are only a division below us. Surely this must make them at least half-decent?

This would assume you are classing Grimsby as at least a half decent side at the moment. Since we are constantly reminded by many that this is Town's lowest ebb you could be opening up a debate

It was also one of the few times where the catering van has stayed open right up until the final whistle and they were shouting at us as we left to come back again on Saturday as they'd done the best business all season. Apparently they normally only do the Woking games but they earmarked a handful of H&Y games where it would be worthwhile them opening. Whether that means that there are no catering facilities there when they play the smaller team like Bath, Kettering & Lincoln etc, I don't know.

This adds to the conspiracy theory that Hayes etc are paying the officials to keep Town down to boost their burger sales. It all adds up now.

Its lucky they had their old catering van nicked a few weeks ago. Kingston is also the home to Surrey County Council.
