I went to Fisher FC vs. Canterbury City yesterday. It felt strange supporting a team from Bermondsey, but I enjoyed the day out, despite the result (0-0). They've got their own battle against relegation, but – unlike Charlton – seem to have some momentum.
I usually go to watch Clapton FC though – I live north of the river and have got to know the "ultras". Always a great atmosphere at the Old Spotted Dog and on away days: I've been to see them at places like Ilford, Mile End (home of Sporting Bengal United), Redbridge, Barking, Waltham Forest and Sawbridgeworth.
The sad thing is: one of my best mates is a Posh fan, and I've been to London Road with him several times, but it didn't even cross my mind to go yesterday. Just sell the club!
Good win for Maidstone again after the huge 4-2 (after being 2-0 down) win at Woking last weekend which I was at along with 600+ Stnes fans. Really hitting form at the right time but hard fixtures to come still.
The excellent new (1,700) terrace is open now and just shy of 3k watched Saturday's game against Barrow. Reckon Tranmere last day could hit 4K.

Went to Maidstone as well and was a lot of things Charlton used to be. Everyone feeling together and players playing with pride and passion and 100% effort. Know quite a few ex Charlton fans who now watch Maidstone. Enjoyed my afternoon there and seriously thinking about getting season ticket thete next season if we still have our crap owners. Getting no enjoyment from Charlton at the moment. Will be hard to give season ticket up but comes a point where enough is enough

Org -Is it segregated at Maidstone?
Depends who we're playing. When a significant (or naughty) away following is expected then yes.
Billericay still outside the play-off spots - after thumping Dulwich, the Hamlet beat them 2-0 at their place four days later. They beat play-off rivals Leiston 2-0, then lost 4-2 to Enfield Town.
Here's owner/manager Glenn Tamplin's pre-match team talk (or pitch for a crap Channel 5 fly-on-the-wall doc) ahead of their 8-3 win over Tonbridge Angels in the Isthmian league cup final last night. Contains bad singing and industrial language.

3-2 to Welling and a long long way home to Cornwall for Truro City.. How do they sustain themselves? Regionalised football outside of the top two or three leagues one day soon please football gods.

They'd have to drop two divisions to meet clubs that are anywhere near them - it's the price of success when you're in a remote part of the country.
Guernsey FC play a couple of tiers down, they have to fund their opponents' travel expenses.

Do Jersey have a team and do the same?
Two massive games for Hamlet this weekend!
Just been having a look - they toyed with the idea not long after the Guernsey team was set up, but didn't do it. Looks like there was some disagreement over whether it'd damage the local clubs there, or whether they should try to get into the French leagues or just go into the English system.
Dulwich virtually assured a play off place with 3-0 away to Burgess Hill. A win on Monday home to Grays will virtually assure home advantage on 27th April

Wick needed a victory badly in their fight to avoid relegation. Poor backing from the home support in a crowd of approximately 48.

Indeed, two huge matches!
