Bognor was nice. Bar in the cricket pavilion made a nice change. Ground itself was nothing to write home about but it was OK.

Woking. When we were allowed in the clubhouse bar. Covered terrace. Our results there also helped.

Aldershot has a sort of character.

Eastbourne. Welcoming bar.

Luton’s always good for atmosphere but crap because lack of bars.

Hayes, excrement ground, nice bar.

Just realised there’s a bit of a theme there. Hmmm  


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.

Coldest I’ve ever been:

Salisbury
Histon
Welling the first time
Wembley 2013 (good non-league ground but excrement bars)

Never been so cold than at that Wembley game KM  ,

We had a front row seat and got wet as well as frostbite.

Great atmosphere at Hyde United on a cold winter's night a few years back now.


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

Never been so cold as when we beat Histon 6-0 went to the pub across the road and was so cold I couldn't speak.


Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,teach a man to fish and you give him an excuse for him to escape from the wife and kids for the weekend and drink lots of beer.

At least that meant you wouldn't have had to get a round in....

Honourable (first?) mention for Bath City. Great city ultra friendly fans.
Worst...by a country mile...Barrow.


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

I'm not sure Pete if you intended this to be any non-league ground or not but anyway I went to see either MK Borough or MK City play Wycombe Wanderers once.... a Bucks County Cup game

Before Wycombe were in the league and before W*nke*man had managed to entice Wimbledon away from SW17 Milton Keynes had two teams at least

Yes any ground Tim  , I have mentioned this before when we first moved down to Suffolk 30+ years ago we lived in Sudbury and the football ground was next to the sheltered housing site my wife managed.

I used to go in one of the residents bedrooms to watch Sudbury play it was like my own private box with tea and biscuits provided.

One of the teams they used to play was Braintree I never ever thought we would end up in the same league as them.

And that 'your honour' is the case for the defence    


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'

I’ve seen Manchester United play at a non-League ground. No I’m not old enough to have seen Newton Heath (Pete might have though 😉). Brian McClare led a development squad against Corinthian Casuals down the road here at Tolworth.

I was at Cwoydon Affle’ick,  sorry Croydon Athletic’s bar in their ground when news came through that the gang Ashley Sestanowicz (sp?) was in had been arrested. It explained why one of the Croydon players hadn’t turned up that day!
