George Kerr buying a couple of busloads of Town fans a cup of tea at a service station on the way back from Bristol City when it was rained off at the last minute, early eighties.


I think if you check you will find we were in the Football League then.

Quoted from Ashby mariner
People who couldn't get a ticket for Alfreton away who where stood in a tree watching.


That happened at Bournemouth too the year they had 17 points docked and we both stayed up


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Quoted from sutton mariner
Ladies and gents,

I’m working on a project all about the ‘tinpotery’ of non league football. Character based, antics driven comedy type thing.

I’m doing a bit of research and looking for as many amusing ‘non league stories’ as possible.

Stuff like Fenty snapping the kids flag, one of our fans rolling down the stand in a bin, etc etc

Not exclusive to non league - more just stuff you wouldn’t get at a premier league ground.

Appreciated in advance!


Get in touch with Rob Gringo Coringao on Twitter. Town* fan and non-league afficianado . He’ll have a vast fund of stories. Ex-Cockney Git now Nawvern Monkey.

* and Barnet, Corinthian Casuals, Croydon Athletic, Hampton, plus the very non-non-League Corinthians of São Paolo.

The portaloo's at various grounds but I remember the ones at Braintree best.

Fenty and another director having to use the same ones as us and got their shiny shoes wet as the floor was floating in urine.

Drinking the beer festival dry at  .........., cannot remember the ground. I have put the non-league days deep in my memory bank, hard to recall now.

Not none league, but a recent cup game.
Town away at Chelsea midweek. Managed to sell out.
Due to a late drop out I had a spare ticket. Offered it on here for face value and was snapped up.
Imagine how I felt having been in contact with the fishyite on the night. Then stood waiting outside the ground for them not to turn up. No apology, explanation or anything.  Not even a PM after the game. Being a tenner out of pocket isn’t the end of the world. But while my mates where seated and soaking up the atmosphere. I was stood outside like a right Billy no mates.


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'
