Non-League Day this Saturday

[Half Man Half Biscuit]

I can't see a thread about this, so hey ho. With there being no Premier League or Championship games this Saturday, and moreover with the Albion's game P-P - fans are being urged to give their local non-league club a bit of support.

Will anyone be taking in a game at their local club this Saturday?

Full details and list of games on the official Non-League Day Website.

Cricket day saturday!

 

[Gritt23]

I take plenty of trips a season to my local non-League club, but this Saturday will not be one of them.

I can heartily recommend it. You can stand on a terrace, the players are there for the love of the game, and are not fabulously wealthy arses who wouldn't give you the time of day. It's a simpler World with turnstile opeators who take your cash and let you through, no egotistical names and squad numbers on shirts (if you go below Conference).

I thoroughly enjoy it.

Flying to Portugal on Saturday. 2 weeks late summer sun

 

[Seagulls over Lewes]

Lewes v Hampton and Richmond at the Dripping Pan for me with beer in hand.

Go lower than conference and you can watch county league teams battle it out in the early stages of the FA Vase!

Off on holidays Saturday, starting in the IOW.

Newport IOW are in FA Vase action v Whitchurch United on Saturday, might give that a go. Then next week off to CY, will be taking in Anorthosis v APOP on the 12th.

But before that my brother, sis-in-law, wife and I will be guests at The Carter Cup where we part of the event sponsorship, think we're doing a bit of the live score updates and stuff, pesonally, I shall be aiming to head for the NAAFI bar and enjoying bluddy loads of football and beer!.

You know what, somehow I have trouble equating this beautiful and romantic depiction of non league players with the current Crawley Town side, but you know, times change

I'm sure last season when Croydon played Worthing at Woodside Road, some of the Croydon fans travelled down with the team to save on travel costs.

Judging by the news surrounding the Pakistan cricket team over the past week, it seems unlikely that Croydon FC of all clubs would have any problems covering their costs...

And?

And?

Merely illustrating the camaradery and fellowship that is enjoyed by players and fans of teams once you get below a certain level, such as the Conference.

Pedant alert!

Croydon Athletic not Croydon FC. Two separate clubs.

My bad, I suppose I thought there was a limit to how many nasty, tinpot Noddy football clubs in ugly crumbling stadiums a place like Croydon could sustain.

If the skip man comes in time to take away all our waste from the kitchen refurbishment I will be off to South Chard to see Perry Street take on the mighty seasiders Lyme Regis!!

Soham Town Rangers v Bedworth Utd (Zamaretto Central League)

 

[cuthbert]

I'm an Old Git, so free bus to the ground, a pint of Deuchars IPA, a programme, watch Wealdstone v Bury Town, a free bus home again. I'm home by 17.30 and I've spent £10. Perhaps cut the programme out and have another pint.
