Got my tickets for the Chatham Horsham game, this Wednesday Much easier than for Crawley, and I am Crawley Season Ticket Holder! Believe Chatham are one of Scott's old clubs.
Can't go to the final if Horsham get there as clashes with Crawley's home game with MK Don's, so thought would go to this game instead.
I have to say Sooty that I found it very easy being a STH to get my Crawley ticket....drove into an empty car park then walked into an empty office and handed over my money....about 3 minutes in all.
Sounds like I should have waited until today, although drive there would have taken same time! At least lots of people going yesterday made it easier for today.
Horsham lost on penalties to Chatham after a 1-1 draw, Chatham will meet Enfield Town in the final.
In the south central division, Westfield lost to Marlow 3-2 after extra-time (of interest as my nephew plays for Westfield u18s), Marlow will now play Leatherhead in the final.
Horsham lost on penalties to Chatham after a 1-1 draw, Chatham will meet Enfield Town in the final.
Unlucky for Horsham. Our ex GK Mitchell Beeney doing the business for Chatham.....he used to play for Horsham too.
Yes Beeney had a few games for Horsham this year, when their normal keeper was on holiday. Horsham had by far the better chances and Beeney saved them a couple of times.
Chatham were not an attractive side to watch making lots of tackles to stop Horsham play and had at least seven of their players booked. Big physical side relying on long balls.
Chatham were not really set up for big away following (over 300). Bar had no ale on tap and they had to wheel bottle Newcastle Brown and bottles from the home stand at least three times as beer ran out. only 3 porter loos and no covered terrace apart from 35 seats. Worse things coach stopped right outside ground, but they made fans walk the long way round the fenced, unlit park through one gate. The game did not finish until 10.30, so we had to walk over an unlit park with no path to the sole gate to find it had been locked, so had to climb over a five foot fence!
Strange going to a match where one team was playing red and white, and fans were singing CTFC but supporting the opposition!
I went and watched and ironically it was exactly like Crawley this season with large crowds. Jalloh looked like the only one who was up for it. Credit to Chichester though they were ruthless and ran bridges ragged.
Congratulations to Bromley winning on penalties after extra time. Took 15000 supporters to Wembley to see the gain promotion to the footballl league.
Yes nice to see a south eastern side promoted to replace Sutton. Amazing amount of supporters considering their average atendance is 2600. Like Sutton a few years ago, they will need to replace their 3G pitch in the close season.
Enjoyed watching the pens on the way back from the Amex. Some awful penalty kicks. If we don't make L1 Bromley are a good local replacement for Sutton.
