Not seen one of these, so I thought I'd put a thread up about non Town games you've just recently been to see live.....

I recall someone here the other day put up a nice story about going to see Accrington (I think)....which I enjoyed reading.

I went to see Dulwich Hamlets play Welling in the London Senior Cup last Tuesday.  Excellent night out. Took the train from Blackheath to Peckham Rye for cocktails... then walked up to East Dulwich via some excellent pubs.

Dulwich Hamlets have a great setup - 3 bars next to the pitch, some food stalls selling decent food - plus an inside bar with seats along the windows so you can watch the game and stay toasty warm.  Dulwich won 3-1 - some decent foottball as well.

You can take the boy out of Grimsby, but you can never take the Grimsby S out of the boy. Even if he does drink posh cocktails 😉

“I went to see Dulwich Hamlets

PS it’s years since I saw another game in the flesh. Used to go to see Hampton and latterly AFCW. With so many Town games down south lately and a couple of trips to Cleethorpes, there’s not been the time this season.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.

Bolton v Middlesbrough in 2014 only because I’d been booked into the Whites Hotel for the week through work. Average hotel, sh1t game.

Are you living over Hampton way or down by the Solent?

Ah, makes sense. Nice little ground at Hampton.

Got some mates who are Exeter fans.

Seen them 3 times when Town haven't had a game at Scunny, Chesterfield and Walsall, and they've lost all 3.

I've been banned from going to anymore of their games.
