    Here's a couple of really obscure teams you'll never have heard of...

    :emoticon-0171-star: Shrewsbury Town 1-0 Charlton Athletic :emoticon-0171-star: Something called 'League One' ... Saturday November 27th, 3pm KO

    Shrews (3).jpg Shrews (4).jpg Shrews (1).jpg Shrews (5).jpg Shrews (6).jpg

    That middle image captures the colour of the sunset sky particularly nicely I think.
    I wouldn't have wanted to be keeping goal with that shining in my face (see 4th pic).
    I like the second pic too - reminds me of when the new Valley was mostly made of containers and portakabins <ok>

    There is an additional self-portrait of Elfs with this picture set, but I thought I would consult all interested parties before attaching that one... :emoticon-0160-movie

    We could have played till midnight that day and still not scored.
    On a positive note, I got lost on my directions to the ground and walked the best part of four miles:emoticon-0165-muscl

    With Charlton v Wombles off, Boxing Day might be good for a hop.

    I plan to go to the Longmead Stadium for Tonbridge Angels vs Maidstone United.

    Pics to be posted
