I decided to attend this Isthmian League South East game just the day before, and arranged to meet a friend there. The Homelands ground is in Kingsnorth and has lots of parking. Entrance cost £10 for adults and the excellent match day programme was £2. The ground has a huge main stand complete with bar,…

Erith Town FC v Chatham Town FC – October 24th 2020
In choosing this weekend’s match it was fairly simple. Chatham Town are top of the Southern Counties East Premier League, after 9 matches and averaging 5.5 goals a game. Erith are 7th and having scored 5 in their last home match, I figured this game would produce a high return of goals. The ground is…
Bearsted Fc V Crowborough Athletic 20th October 2020
Another Southern Counties East Football League Premier Division game and the first evening game under lights of the 2020-21 season for me. I met a friend, Richard and came to Bearsted… found the ground after a short drive from picking him up at the railway station. Parked under some impressive trees (wouldn’t want to reverse…
Corinthian FC v Sheppey United October 17th 2020
Travelled to Gay Dawn Farm for this top of the table clash in the Southern Counties East Football League Premier Division. The drive was perilous… up narrow winding country lanes with limited passing places – only to find the road I needed was closed and that I’d have to divert back on myself. At one…
Snodland Town V Sporting Club Thamesmead October 10th 2020
Decided to attend this Southern Counties East Football League Division 1 match at the last minute having decided against driving to Beckenham Town to watch the Chatham game. Snodland hasn’t got the biggest ground but once you’ve parked at the leisure centre and walked across the pitches to the ground it’s got a nice covered…
Bishops Cleeve Fc v Binfield FC October 3rd 2020
This was a cold and wet experience. The Hellenic League Premier Division clash was situated at the Kayte Lane ground in the shadow of Cleeve Hill famously seen as the backdrop for the nearby Cheltenham Racecourse. Attended the game with my Dad and daughter as we were visiting the Cotswolds and went with Dad to…
Faversham Town v Hastings United 26 September 2020
For my second foray into non league football, I went to see Faversham, of the Isthmian Premier league, whose Salters Lane ground is simple but well resourced. It has covered and seated stands at the side and a covered stand and clubhouse/ changing room facility. It also had a tea and cake van which sold…
