Match Day Thread General matchday thread.

I ****ing hate all this multi choice bolloxs, especially as most the week there is **** all on SKY Sport.

Although it's coming up to International week, so at least it means all lower league games can be aired without all the usual 3pm rules. Although for some reason they've gone and stuck Gills on at 5.30pm on a Saturday, absolute ****ers...why the **** would anyone else want to watch Gills v Crawley at 5.30 lol.

 

Crawley is one of the few places in the SE I’d say could rival Gillingham for bleakness.

Bwood’s game is listed as kicking off at 15:03 for some reason as the rest of the National League is. Odd.

 

Been to Crawley, never forget the rats running around the food wagon. I'd rather go to Aldershit.

NL looking tight up the top, although I see Dale have about three games in hand on everyone.

 

@Star of David Bardsley the answer to your other point... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c749437nq5qo

 

I'd like to see a fifth tier with the same opportunities of promotion as happens in the upper tiers.

 

Their pitch is flooded all the time. Those games will rack up and it’ll hurt them but they’re the best side in it.

Bwood’s squad is razor thin and they’ve avoided injuries to the important players. Had a brilliant young keeper on loan from West Ham who got recalled which will cost them against better teams as the bloke in goal now is decent but seems to put on a stone every time I watch them.

They’ve got a kid called Abdul Abdulmalik who is a sort of budget Eze and tearing it up. Clubs at your level must be having a look as he seems far too good. Not an Ainsworth type perhaps.

 

Could have five leagues of 20 now for sure or four leagues of 22 under the Prem. There’s always going to be a bottleneck of teams in the N/S leagues good enough to step up but it’s dumb not having three down from Division Four with so much dross hanging around every season and big clubs in the Conference.

 

I use to hope we got relegated to the NL just so I could watch some local clubs. Still remember when clubs had to be voted in to get promoted, and half the time they never did, proper old boys network back then looking after their own. So when you heard someone like Workington got booted out the league it was a rare ocassion indeed.

 

Likely to go to Watford end of January.

Would you say there's anywhere on the Bakerloo/Lioness from Paddington worth jumping off for beers and food?

Or just head to Watford?

 

I had to check if Workington still exist, they do, they are in the Northern Premier League Premier Division, the seventh tier of English football.

 

**** doing anything in Watford.

I’d head to Mabel’s Tavern near Euston Station and grab the fast train to Watford Junction from there. It’s a 15-20 min walk to the away end and Watford High Street station is a shorter walk but a slowwwww train back to London.

Tube from Padd to Euston Square won’t take long then train from proper Euston to Watford Jct.

Actually tube from Padd to Kings Cross and you’ll have a shorter walk to the pub.

 

Good advice, thanks.

 

See edited post.

 

Also if you like weird ales the Euston Tap used to be good. No idea if it’s still there but it’s right outside the station if it is.

 

These are tremendous every year.

 

Palace v Btown. The fiercest derby this side of Lesta v Coventry.

 

The "you'll do" derby. Always found it more than a bit odd.

 

Decent start to the game though.

 

Yeah very.

Forest 0-1 Leeds in the battle of European Cup winners.
