Whitehawk atmosphere

[Return of the Rev]

My son went to watch and thought footie poor but atmosphere great! Would have been better with a few more away fans.

Been to a couple of games over the years, decent atmosphere, good to drink whilst watching

He should have been there last week, Wealdstone brought a few, got very edgy at times.

I always have a good time down the Enclosed Ground though I do feel the ticket price is a bit steep given the lack of quality on show.

I enjoy swapping ends at half time and the whole camaraderie of it all. Having a drink and a sing song is always good fun, plus when it's all over I can get straight out of the ground and be home within 10 minutes.

It would never replace my Albion love but it's certainly a pleasant way to spend an afternoon when my real team aren't playing.

Good beer too

First time I had been there for years popped down as was the only local non league game on at that level. Never seen segregation or police at a non league game before. I think some of the fans need to look at themselves and especially the league they are playing in. Police should not be needed

Each season when Albion not playing I try to go to a few local games. Went to Whitehawk yesterday and football was terrible. Waste of £12 which makes my £26 per game at Albion good value. Talked to some supporters who said most of new players have come from abroad. The cost of wages,bringing them over and accomadating them must be huge. How on earth do they afford it on 250/300 gates. Somebody must be putting a lot of money in and dissapointed with gates and standard of football. All credit to the few supporters for the noise they made.

You crack me up Who's losing 12 million a year?

Drinking is permitted at all levels below the conference/vanarama prem as far as I know

The exception is FA Cup games where no alcohol can be drunk within sight of the pitch. AFC Sudbury have to draw the curtain in the bar of their gleaming new clubhouse when at home in the cup.

There was trouble last season at the Whitehawk v Wealdstone fixture, I guess segregation and the police attending was a good precaution.
Who's fans are you talking about when you say " some of the fans need to look at themselves" Whitehawk or Wealdstone?

There isn't segregation for games usually and it's a good friendly atmosphere at Whitehawk, the home fans are loud and well behaved.
I did see segregation at Lewes FC, can't remember the year but probably about 8 years back, they were playing Newport County in a league match, didn't see any trouble that day but Newport fans caused trouble on their previous visit.

Yup, quite common for Newport in their rise through non league. I used to watch Maidenhead Utd a fair bit and there were only two segregated matches I saw. One was Newport when they brought around 500 fans in a crowd of 800 and they had to be banned from the bar as there were too many of them. The other was Stafford Rangers in the FA Cup 1st round proper.

To be honest anyone and whoever has or intended to start trouble at non league football

Yes of course, but did you see any fans of either team causing trouble or intending to at that match?

The fact there were police and the security was very strict and many of them compared to the number of fans, then no

One point we did go in the away end without realising as went to the car park and it was almost impossible to get in to the 'home end' we had to show driving licence to show we were local.

I am sure it was a one off and hope they do well, I like to go to non league football but it really was a little off-putting

Worth going back for another match, I've been to plenty of games there and seen no incidents.

I will do for sure just a shame that was the one match in years I have been to Whitehawk, home fans sounded great all game though and good beer

I've only been once so I'm no expert, but most of the people chanting seemed to be Year 10 or 11. Also, that '10, 9, 8 ... let's all have a party!' chant gets a bit annoying after a while.

Whitehawk have signed Dan Harding.

Whitehawk have signed Dan Harding.

A brave man coming back to play in Brighton.

 

[John Byrnes Mullet]

He is a great signing for Whitehawk.

 

[Keith Patel]

He is a great signing for Whitehawk.

He is a ****.

The new Whitehawk manager Richard Hill managed him at Eastleigh, Obviously that's the connection.
