Non-league

Knocked out in the replay 2-0 so no semi final v Tranmere.  A couple of coaches went up there, we had a great day out despite traffic problems on the way around Oxford which curtailed the amount of drinking time.  No late trains home prevented more travelling but the supporters gave a great account of themselves winning many new friends. 

 
Going to watch my non-league side Welling United this afternoon. It's a few months since I've seen them play. A few weeks back they were in the relegation zone of National League South but have improved recently and should now be safe. Before the game will pop into the micro-pub near the ground for a couple of pints of fine ale.

 
Went to see Bromley v Barrow today, with the home side winning 4-1. Have to say Bromley were excellent and looked the brighter side from the start. Barrows play off hopes surely finished after today. Bromley are up to 10th and on course for the highest league finish in their history.

 
Dulwich Hamlet lost their play off final for the second year running.  This time away to Bognor, around 1200 fans making the trip, incredible support.

 
Forest Green Rovers are in the football league. They are known for their vegan fare, largely because the chairman likely can't go ten minutes without mentioning it.

 
Going to see my local non-league team, Welling United, this season. Playing Charlton Athletic. The teams have played each other in a pre-season friendly for years. Practice for the two teams an brings in money for Welling United. Near the ground is a fine micro-pub so a couple of pints in there before the game.

 
Sometimes i go and watch my local team, Daisy Hill. They have been in the same division for years. Nothing ever changes for them. So i do not really know why i bother. Maybe i should nip along to see Atherton Colls. They are doing well. I used to be into non-league and the Scottish League quite a lot. Now i suppose i have replaced it with following both codes of Rugby more.

 
Gordon Bartlett,manager of Wealdstone FC sacked today after 22 years in charge.

Recent run of results and performances not good but shabby treatment of a non league legend That's for sure.
