Eastbourne Borough v Hamlet, New Year's Day Tuesday 1 January 2019 (3pm Kick Off)

[Pink Panther]

There is an hourly service from london Bridge to Eastbourne departing at 45 past the hour (journey time 87 minutes) and continuing to Pevensey and Westham, which is the closest station to the ground at just over 1 mile away. I used this station for the FA Cup game, and whilst the walk was bearable if dull with a footpath on at least one side of the road and no hils, from memory there was no streetlighting for part of the way and obviously it will be dark on the way back this time.

For those wanting to stop off in Eastbourne itself there's a limited hourly bus service from Eastbourne station to Langney, where the ground is. Last one back at 5.15pm:

Otherwise your're looking at a cab to the ground. The ground address is Priory Lane, arrowed on linked map:

Does anyone know if we need to get advance tickets for this game?

Capacity is 4151. Likely attendance 800.

 

[Pink Panther]

Just for clarity, there are major engineering works at Victoria so no coastal services from there. You can pick up the London Bridge trains at Norwood Junction or East Croydon.

 

[Nivag]

If you're driving down the Purley Way is currently closed due to a fire.

Eastbourne's keeper from Boxing Day has signed for Billericay and they have brought someone in on loan.

 

[bkbk]

[StephenMac]

1-O. Rubbish goal. Sergio Torres is still over the hill.

 

[StephenMac]

1-1 Dipo. Sergio Torres is still over the hill.

 

[BrandNewGuy]

[alcopop]

2-1

 

[StephenMac]

Yeah, but we've got Jacob Erskine.

 

[pitchfork]

8 points from the last 30 available is pretty shit whatever way you look at it.

 

[cg__]

This was not the result i was hoping for

Yet we remain 17th. Would bite your hands off now to end the season there....

[StephenMac]

Couldn't help but notice that Sergio Torres looks well over the hill.

 

[baleboy_93]

Was only a yellow, ref confirmed it

Non League Today I Boro Keeper Makes Billericay Switch

Eastbourne's keeper from Boxing Day has signed for Billericay and they have brought someone in on loan.

And their new keeper was deservedly named as man of the match by their match sponsors. It was that sort of game.

We won’t finish 17th if we continue with this form.

And their new keeper was deservedly named as man of the match by their match sponsors. It was that sort of game.

He made a crucial save about 30 seconds before they took the lead, saving with his leg after a defensive slip let Banton through for a one on one. Well taken equaliser from Akinyemi, but their right back made a great run and cross for their centre forward to bag the winner with a header at the near post.

Indeed, plus a couple of other saves, including one at full stretch towards the end that looked goal bound.

 

[bkbk]

Thought we were absolute soil tbh.

 

[RabbleLevi]

Sounds like it all kicked off in the tunnel at full time...

 

[Nivag]

Thought we were absolute soil tbh.

I wasn't impressed today, looked very slow and lazy for a lot of the game.
Their keeper did well to shot the what few shots we had out.
Dipo took the goal well but didn't seem his usual self for most of the game.
Any idea what the pushing and shoving was about? The ref repeatedly blowing the whistle at them did make me chuckle.

Banton should have done better to be fair.

 

[StephenMac]

Sergio Torres.

 

[Pink Panther]

Banton should have done better to be fair.

He took it too close to the keeper, should have shot sooner if he wasn't going to take it past the keeper. Gave him too much time to narrow the angle and set himself.

 

[dcdulwich]

Banton should have done better to be fair.

Saw you and B.I.G behind the goal and panicked I reckon.

I panicked when I saw us behind the goal.
Sergio Torres.
