    When we sold out for Reading I went to Salford V Orient last Saturday 

    Therefore I have recompleted the 92 ( Bury and Coventry make it the 90 ?)
    On the Doing the 92 site it’s 91 as Coventry are playing at Birmingham. It should be 90 but the site is still in denial that the League weren’t able to keep Bury’s place open for them. 
  • Went to Hastings United v Worthing yesterday in the FA Cup 1st qualifying round. Match ended 3-3 with last minute equaliser for higher level Worthing. Proper old school ground. Main stand must of been built when they were formed it looked so old.

    Cracking little ground.

  • Dunstable Town v Chipping Sodbury in an FA Cup extra preliminary game yesterday.

    Dunstable's road to Wembley began with an easy 3-2 victory.

    A rather uninspiring ground in a very uninspiring town.
    Mad, that's my local team(yes dunstable is a dump !).. Barry fry got George Best down for 1 game many moons ago when he was manager.

    Groundhoppers are a strange breed.

    Colney Heath v Eynesbury Rovers yesterday in the Spartan South Midlands Premier League finished 2-1 to the home side. 

    A very basic ground but had a very pleasant main entrance and decent clubhouse.

    Colney Heath is a village just outside of St Albans, and very advisable to drive here unless you do not mind getting taxis due to a non-existent bus service.

    Prescot Cables v Brighouse in the Northern North West League Division 1 took place last Saturday.

    Prescot won the game 2-1, but for some better finishing there could have been 2 or 3 more goals for the 315 in attendance.

    This ground is a cracker, untouched and full of character which hopefully will not become flats/supermakets in the future.

    Broxbourne v Brimsdown yesterday in the Spartan South Midlands League Division 1.

    This finished up 1-1, like the ground, the game was not the best with Brimsdown players more keen on play acting and trying to harm the Broxbourne playeres with some atrocious fouls.

    With Broxbourne only 'pulling in' around 25 new faces are questioned.  The pleasant lady at the turnstile asking if I was a groundhopper hit me with "there is not many of you around" when I said that I was a Charlton fan.  A side splitter that I had not heard before.
  • The Wallpaper? Sounds like a spanners fanzine.

    A cracking programme that would put to shame a lot of clubs efforts in the lower leagues, including ours unfortunately.

    Thanks for that mate.  It's comments like this that make it worthwhile.
  • The Prescot cables one impressed me. Proper old school stand that.
  • How do you choose which game to go to?
    do you drive or public transport?

    I have always groundhopped, to begin with it was local games but as the years progressed there were no limits.

    Apart from Tottenham's new ground and Chorley, I have done the '92 plus the National Conference.

    The remaining leagues I am trying to complete are as follows:-

    The Bostik Isthmian League
    Conference South
    Kent League Premier
    Sussex League Premier
    Spartan South Midlands Premier
    Combined Counties Premier

    As I do not drive I always travel by train, this does not work out very expensive as a lot of destinations are covered by a Travelcard, then I use my Network SouthEast card.  Booking in advance to Bognor yesterday only cost £10 return.

    Non-League football is very enjoyable, it is a shame that more fans do not visit their local side once or twice a season. 
    Well done mate.
    Are Beckenham Town still in Kent Premier league? Nice easy train journey

    Yep, still there.  Eden Park Avenue station is only 3 minutes walk away.

    I have not been there for a long time, but they have a tidy little ground now as they installed a few new stands.

    If you collect programmes, I gather they still produce a paper copy rather than online.  In some cases clubs produce nothing.
  • That's a fantastic record, Elfborg. Just to say, like Sporodic, I appreciate your posts here.

    Cheers @Stig I will be going to Real Madrid v Betis on the 2nd November.  Perhaps others on here have been before and can give their thoughts on the ground etc.

    A few, but not as many as I’d like to. As you know, there’s some cracking grounds/places in their league to spend an afternoon.

    Do Chippenham if you get the chance.  Hungerford is decent as well.
