Had a good Charlton catch up in the pub today with highly knowledgeable Charlton fan @ElfsborgAddick We both agreed that Blackpool is an absolute karzi of a place, to be ticked off once and never re-visited. I added that my own least fav away trip was Blackpool’s near neighbour Fleetwood. Time was short, we didn’t get time to discuss really deprived places like Wrexham.
Monday 26th August 2024 - Southern League Premier Division (South) Basingstoke Town 1-1 Bracknell Town Ticket ... £9 (concession) Programme ... £3 Badge ... not bought (had one already) Beers ... £10 Total outlay ... £22 ? Nice picture of "The Winkle". What was the attendance Elfs?
Once again guvnor, . The attendance was a very healthy 1002, as a Bank Holiday I am assuming it was higher than average. Bracknell played the last 30 minutes with 9 mine after two very players got sent off for totally unnecessary tackles. The ground is the HQ of the Hampshire FA, very bland but a new ground for me so all good.
Used to live in Bracknell. Grim place. Never visited the local football club who I think didn’t play in the town at least then. Did Lewes FC for the first time last week. Beautiful little unique old ground right by the station with a healthy supply of local pubs.
Lewes is a fine place. Full of history, including the medieval priory and Anne of Cleves' house. I used to enjoy a pint or two of locally brewed Harvey's before strolling down to the Dripping Pan. Great days.
Didn’t see that but at the back of the one seated area there’s a load of scarves hung up from random clubs.
It's back... ELFS' BRASILIAN TRAVELS 29th March 2025 Natal Regional Cup Final (second leg) ABC 0 - 1 America (America won 1-2 after the teams drew 1-1 in the first leg) Programme - no Badge - no Beer - no Food - no the kiosks were overwhelmed by the size of the crowd Entrance - £8 Weather - cracking Looks like a good day out, albeit no working facilities at the ground! Being a Cup Final it seemingly drew an unusually big crowd... They are snappy looking skyscrapers in the background. Better than the tower blocks around the Valley...
Multiple Guvnor, your time and expertise getting around this I am very grateful for. It was bloody hot, and as can be seen very little protection from the sun. It was a poor game that I was certain would go to penalties, but a near post header with three minutes to go won the day.
