Great day,highlights, shaking Tommy Elphicks hand,what a gent he is.
Can tell that he would still love to captain the Albion,just not in the car crash form it is at moment.

Went to support Lewes but they were well beaten. Very enjoyable afternoon in the sunshine nonetheless. Great comedy moment at the station after : Lewes fans " youre just a small town in Brighton ". Whitehawk fans " you're just a small town in Ringmer".

I think the chaps have a soft spot for Whitehawk FC, plenty at Borehamwood last week.

Was some nice stuff played,thought the whitehawk left back(captain) was very good,sort of player the Albion should take on pre season,might work out,might not but worth a look.

Agree, watching Whitehawk playing exciting attacking football was such a change from the dross served up by BHA in recent seasons. The freekick and subsequent header for their (2nd?) goal was sublime. If they can keep that squad together they've surely got a good chance of challenging for promotion again next season.

Not seen such Bravery!
Nothing against Whitehawk or Lewes, but does it make sense to have the final at the Amex with just 2,600 fans rattling around inside it ?
I am certain this question will upset some, but surely the atmosphere would be better at a more compact smaller ground ?

You are spot on here.
Probably great for the players to play on the AMEX pitch, but the atmosphere was terrible.

But would that number have gone if it was at another ground?

Great fun. Shame the Albion banned the Whitehawk Ultras' flags, 7 drums (fact: drums are obviously shit in Championship but great in non league) air raid siren, bugle and stylophone (yes, stylophone, a woman was playing one at the Weston Super Mare game) Shame the Ultras sat down so meekly when the 1 steward told them to 
Hawks played some classy stuff, though given they'd just missed out on promotion to the Conference and Lewes on relegation to 2 levels lower the gap was massive. When we're not playing, a trip to watch Whitehawk is a treat if you want a bit of a laugh and need your football grass roots watering....thoroughly recommended

I thought that about the left back made some good runs down the wing.Puts a good cross in and tackles well. I know it's only non league but could well be worth a look. Lee Hills I think his name is.

Nothing ventured,as you say only non league but the lad looked very assured on the ball,wouldn't do any harm to give a look during pre season,Lee Hills,that's the fellow.
