Groundhopping - A Tiddler’s Travels

Tomorrow sees the Elf take the protest to Raynes Lane v Wodson Park in the Spartan South Midlands League division one.

Going down to this level things are getting tricky as to whether a programme is produced, fortunately a telephone call to the clubhouse tonight confirmed that the paperwork is available tomorrow.

I might even pay the full admission rate tomorrow to show how thankful I am they are doing the right thing.

 

Going down to that level, I’m amazed they charge admission.

 

It is still the second division of a league in the pyramid.

My guess is there will be between 20-30 people there.

 

30 and a half

How much to get in to watch what is basically park football ? A tenner ?

 

Usually £6 or £7......if you do not pay the concession rate

 

You shameless tight little bastard ...already plotting to fiddle that nice amateur club with no cash

I’m ringing them at 9am to tip them off that you are coming

 

If it’s £7 you can use that spare quid you’ve got in your pocket

 

Did I mention that he also scams the fruit machines in Wetherspoons

 

“Good morning ...is that Raynes Lane United?

Watch out for the arrival of a drunken midget at around 2.50pm today. He will be wearing a horrible purple jacket, and is likely to be accompanied by either a wheelchair or a Student Union card.

Charge him the full whack”

 

With the three quid I save the clubhouse gets it back with me buying an extra pint.

Everyone is a winner.

 

I can’t see them having a clubhouse

 

They do, I checked

 

They might not do a badge though

 

As forum moderator it is you duty to grass him up.

 

I'll be at the Basildon Sporting Village for White Ensign v Hackney Wick.

 

Hope your game is on.

Coming in to Rayners Lane and it's shunting down.

Essex Senior game for you?

 

Your game is Postponed, just seen it on my phone.

Come to the Valley.

 

Eastern Counties Div One South today, which is a feeder for the Essex Senior. The game is definitely on.

What will you do instead? Meet Vol at The Valley?
