Sheppey United FC v Glebe FC – Saturday 4th December 2021 – The Total Power Stadium, Holm Park.
Today’s choice was a no brainer, for any non league football fan in Kent! The 1st v 2nd clash from the top of the Southern Counties East Football League, Premier Division looked likely to be a high energy, goal rich, end to end battle. Chatham Town close behind Sheppey and Glebe, in third place, but…

Woking FC v Brentford B Team – Friday 5th November 2021 – Kingfield Stadium
While this Friday night friendly fixture was about 50 miles from home, I thought the opportunity to visit the home of National League Woking FC and see this friendly fixture, was too good to miss. Woking’s Kingfield stadium holds 6000, with 2500 being able to be seated. Entrance for this friendly was just £5. The…
