    This was a great game where both keepers kept their sides in it.
    I even managed to have a pleasant five minutes chat with Paul Hayes, he spoke very highly of Charlton and Nigel Adkins.

    Admission ...
    £4 concession
    Programme ... £1.20
    Badge ... £4.50
    Lager (x2) ... £7.00
    Coffee (x2) ... £2.40
    Total spend ... £19.10

    Match report ... Football awful first half, better second half, very nice ground, plenty of character <ok>
    They acknowledge their stand is a bus shelter...
    Note ... Sawbridgeworth Town aren't from Essex.

    Hope it was a nice badge Elfs (see in pic with lager) sounds a bit pricy. Still, these Clubs have gotta make ends meet.

    More and more clubs are producing badges, hopefully it's a profitable thing for the clubs.
    Clacton had a few people along the front, the Essex equivalent of Margate possibly.

    A long time since I have been to Herne Bay, I had heard it was pleasant enough.

    I enjoy a coastal walk from Reculver, past the Roman fort, to Herne Bay and back.

    Been a while since I’ve been down the Gallagher. The Stones are playing Eastbourne Borough on Saturday.

    These are rather splendid pics Elfs. Worthy of a Non-League football book. An ideal Christmas present...<gift>

    Publishers are fighting for my signature Mr Lardiman.
    You'll receive a complimentary copy of course.

    Errrr.... what were you doing in the changing rooms Elf, or is it better not to know?

    Genuine question, who were the team in blue? I remember Enfield used to play in blue, but they seem to have dropped a long way since their glory days in the Alliance Premier back in the eighties.

    I assume Stansted (the home team) were in blue, as their ground buildings are painted with a blue theme...
