Boro was walking distance from our house in Northolt Park - if you knew where to go, you could jump the fence and get in for free , Wealdstone was a bus journey. Hoops games a jump on the tube once we'd moved away from East Acton
Used to get taken to Underhill as my grandparents lived not far. Can’t be having Barnet now since the move. Posh ****s. Looking forward to Bwood’s now home final a week on Sunday.
Edgware was walking distance and the Red Lion in front of the stadium was very relaxed on underage drinking and lock-ins. Talk is Barnet are looking to move again.
That result just saved Truro from the longest ever awayday round trip in English football, Gateshead would have been over 900 miles. Still they can console themselves with Carlisle and Hartlepool at 870 miles. Their local derby will be Yeovil at 280 miles and they are currently all part-timers. I can guess who will be favourites for relegation next season...
I used to go to Wealdstone sometimes when they played in Wealdstone, Lower Mead behind the cinema. In the early seventies they had a player called Terry Dyson who had won the double with Spurs in 1961, before they went Spursy. It’s odd that they play in Ruislip now.
It guarantees they do play Gateshead! Morecambe in there too at a mere 760 miles. Again for I think a third year in a row the NL has lost three southern teams. Someone like Hemel Hempstead is going to end up in the northern league I believe.
Very entertaining for the neutral. I thought Barca would edge it though Yamal very nearly scored about three times. Tomorrow will be interesting too.
Running 3 matches on the box - United making heavy weather of a 3 nil lead Blades under the BC cosh And Spursy Spurs above the Arctic Circle
Big Ange, he always gets a trophy in his second year or so he says ............ still may prove it true. Manure, with a decent manager, would win it but they haven't, have they. They've gone backwards, sold their sole and aresoled all their decent staff. The club has gone plastic, all because they cannot manage it. The Glaziers allowed Ratcliffe to do all their dirty work. The manager ain't worth a cracker and the players know it and are a bunch of glorified try-hards, who wouldn't make the bench of the mid nineties team. Fergie's false teeth would be spitting in his porridge.
