Tonight’s game was an Isthmian League (South East) fixture between Sittingbourne FC and Hythe Town. I had considered going to see the Chatham Town replay but decided at the last minute to opt to see Sittingbourne for the first time in a year. Sittingbourne first team coach, Nick Davis, was appointed in May 2022, returning…

For my second FA Cup tie of the day, I travelled 5 kilometres from Walton & Hersham to Imber Court, home of the Metropolitan Police. Imber Court has a capacity of 3000, with seating for 297. It has been the home of Met Police since they were founded in 1919. When Met Police enter the…

This match was a first for me. A second qualifying round FA Cup tie involving two non league teams, which the BBC had chosen to broadcast live. Walton & Hersham FC play at the Elmbridge Excel Sports Hub, a £20 million complex which was opened in 2017, after the club moved from their previous Stompond…

After a quiet weekend where the FA had decided to cancel football at all levels, for three days, as a mark of respect for the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, I returned to watching football at the Cobdown Stadium for a Monday night Southern Counties East (SCEFL) Premier Division fixture.

Tonight’s midway game took me to the Taray Group Community Stadium, to see the Southern Counties East League Division 1 fixture between Larkfield & New Hythe FC and Staplehurst Monarchs FC.

There is always honest football played at this level (6 of the National League system) and usually a lot of…

For the first September match of the season, I decided to visit Jubilee Field, the home of Isthmian League, Three Bridges FC, for their FA Cup 1st Qualifying round fixture with Erith Town. Erith Town play in the Southern Counties East Football League (Premier Division) and this season has seen them make a disappointing start,…

I thought long and hard about where to visit today as there were a wide range of games available, with the FA Vase Qualifying round and SCEFL games on offer. In the end, having travelled up to Hertfordshire last night to watch Cray Wanderers, I felt that coming more locally, to Chatham Town, to watch…

I used a visit to drop my children off in the Midlands, as an opportunity on the return journey, to visit Woodside Park, home of the Isthmian Premier League’s Bishop Stortford. Woodside Park holds a capacity of 4525 with 525 seated. It was opened in 1999 when Bishop’s Stortford played Norwich City. The ground benefits…
