Is this really me? Fat old duffer !!
Kev always has trouble fastening his coat !!
Saturday 10th November 2007 Central Midlands League Premier Division
Interesting choice from Kev was this...non-league step 8. We had no idea what standard to expect, so this was groundbreaking for us both.
Anyway, good friend Danny Bryant is in charge at the Fieldings so we knew the commitment would be there. Commitment yes, but for the first 10 minutes this was awful. Taking into account the really strong wind, both teams struggled to play anything like football at all . ... but when Sutton went on front on 13 the game changed dramatically. A little more endeavour and the "Snipes" went in 3-0 up at the break.
A FIRST --- we actually won the raffle -- 8 cans of Fosters, MAGIC!
Sutton missed a penalty early in the second half, but added a couple more goals to run out 5-0 victors. ( footnote -- Thorne had the smallest centre-forward we have ever seen!)

Strange game though -- the visitors were not very good, and Danny, even after a 5-0 win was less than impressed with the home teams performance.
The Fieldings is the same as the last time I visited a couple of years ago, nice neat and tidy -- every other person wears a Sutton town jacket and there were a lot of ball boys -- trust me they were needed - the ball flies out of the ground on a very regular basis !! Lots of kids present as well -- seems to be a family day out, although the players language was a bit strong at times !!
Roll on Tuesday-- Glapwell v Liversedge / Borrowash Vics v Pontefract / Rainworth v Bottesford / Eastwood v Matlock - my choice would be Borrowash...a visit to the grandly named Robinson Construction Bowl !!

Good to see our old mate Danny today - that's always a pleasure.
Although the game wasn't great - we've seen worse. Hard to sum up the game really...... to much haste and not enough skill and composure. Then again, the conditions didn't help - strong wind (not just Malc) and bumpy pitch.
As a footnote is there any local footy fan out there that fancies turning up to a few games to support local footy?
If so give us a post and we'll see what can be sorted.
We hope to visit many more grounds this season - fixtures permitting. Maybe someone can suggest a potentially decent game to watch.
See you soon perhaps.
Can't believe you have been to the Shi*y Ground to see Notts Florist....
Shame on you both.. did you die and get refused admission upstairs?
Weren't that bad v Southend, but I thought I was in hell watching the Oldham game!!
