Sad to see Ringmer’s ground being torn down this year.

Yes, the Caburn Field was a lovely little ground with a great clubhouse.
I think they have a new ground behind Ringmer College.

Yes they do, you are correct, clubhouse was definitely a good one.
I was working in a house recently and the Caburn backed onto the garden, sad to see the old ground being dug up.

Indeed , very quaint ground , sad to see it go , esp for 8 x 3bedrooms with ample parking

Yes. I didn't have my hoop and stick money to get home!
£ 5? That would be worth about £ 500 in today's money!!

1970 you say. A year or two before my first Albion game I think but I so remember Ringmer getting into the FA Cup with my Uncle being part of the club and all the coaches going to the game.

 

[Reinelt 62]

Yeah, I was wondering whether anyone on NSC ever went to the Ringmer game. How many supporters did they take? The full village of 30 odd?

Incidentally Albion's team on that day (in good old 2-3-5 formation and thanks to Tim Carder & Roger Harris) was

Brian Powney; Stewart Henderson, John Templeman; Ian Goodwin, John Napier, Norman Gall; Howard Wilkinson, Alan Gilliver, Kit Napier, Bobby Smith (the Second), Peter O'Sullivan. Sub: Colin Woffinden.

Woffinden came on and scored his only goal for the Albion, I think.

Oh no, that's too much. I'll settle for a hundred

I never missed a home game around those years, I can't hand on heart say I remember being at the game, but I reckon I probably was........
