My first visit to the East Peckham Recreation ground in Pippin Road, was to see a West Kent Sunday Football league Division 1 fixture between AFC Valour and Simla FC. Simla FC once played at East Peckham Recreation ground themselves so while AFC Valour were the home side, there was little advantage. Simla FC sat…

A journey to bring my step daughter to visit Aston University, as part of her preparation for making Uni choices for next year, meant that I could come to see my home team, Birmingham City play in the Championship against Rotherham United. I was sat in the railway end (now named the Gil Merrick stand)…

I came out, on a bright Sunday morning, to the Elm Tree Ground, Paddock Wood for a West Kent Sunday League, Division 3 fixture, between Paddock Wood and AFC Green Court. Paddock Wood have struggled this season, languishing at kick off, in twelfth place with just three wins and eleven defeats from their fourteen games….

The Isthmian League (South East Division) is a favourite of mine and there are only four grounds left out of the 20 sides that I have yet to visit. Being accompanied by my visiting football loving father, it was an ideal opportunity to get to the coast to visit Whitehawk FC, who play on the…

This West Kent Sunday Football League tie was held at the Paddock Wood Memorial Ground. The ground sits at the back of the new primary school and is served by an attractive location, a decent grass pitch and a clubhouse. Dormansland Rockets came into the fixture in eighth place with nine points from eight games….

Today’s fixture took me down to Bexhill on the South Coast, to watch a Southern Combination Premier Division match between seventh placed Bexhill United and fourth placed Steyning Town. Bexhill United’s ground, the Polegrove Stadium, has seen an average crowd of 197, this season and is best known for its unique main stand, which is…

Having decided, diplomatically, that going to see my midweek game on Wednesday 15th this month was better than risking my marriage by attending the night before, I found myself spoilt for choice of Southern Counties East Football League (SCEFl) and Isthmian League fixtures. I resisted the urge to see the Sheppey v Chatham battle at…

I came, for the first time ever, to watch a Kent Sunday Football League fixture, between two Division 1 sides, Pembury FC and Sedlescombe Rangers. Pembury play at Woodside Fields ground in Pembury, (on the outskirts of Tunbridge Wells) and there was a big crowd for a junior football fixture which was being played out…

This week’s midweek evening fixture brought me to another local ground, to watch Snodland Town, sitting high in second place, in. the Southern Counties East Football League (SCEFL) Division 1, against Forest Hill Park, who came into the game in fifteenth place, just two points above the relegation places. Snodland Town managed by Luke Wallond,…

I came again to the Bauvill Stadium, for today’s game, attracted by Chatham Town’s seemingly unstoppable home form in the Isthmian League, this season. A rare defeat away, against second placed Beckenham Town, in midweek, still left Chatham top of the league, but ensured they really needed to secure a win in today’s game, for…
