First up is Erith Town away next Tuesday, 19th September. They've just moved to Bayliss Avenue over in Thamesmead, nice new away ground for most I imagine.

If we get through to the final we'll be away, home, away, home. Given our cup form in recent years it'll most likely just be away.

Looks horrid

That's their old ground. Don't go there tomorrow! They groundshare with Sporting Club Thamesmead now. You will get the full on Misfits experience on way to ground if you walk from Abbey Wood station. It's a great ground with a clubhouse with a view over the pitch.

Isn't that also where Clockwork Orange was filmed?

I think tomorrow is where we start to turn things around. A nice morale booster before returning to league business

Was there last summer for the Dulwich B friendly game against them, was actually a pretty decent view from the terrace of the bar at the top!

Not much support though so I wonder how they're faring in their new place.

For anyone who doesn't wish to reenact A Clockwork Orange, bus 177 from Peckham bus station passes the ground. It's a long old journey though, so allow plenty of time if using that route. Bus 229 from Abbey Wood station also passes the ground.

Had a recommendation for the Abbey Arms at Abbey Wood station for pizza and beers.

Abbey Arms, Abbey Wood

A traditional public house next to Abbey Wood railway station. Refurbished and redecorated in 2015, again in 2019 when it was taken over by Dirty Liquor and again in 2023 following the exit of Dirty Liquor. There is an upstairs function roo...

Bloody hell. A win

Hak in the book

Job done. Dougal looked lively, encouraging signing.

Hak in the book

I agree with whatever he said about the decision the ref made, and especially the way he said it. That lino was an incompetent fool, in my opinion.

 

[Pink Panther]

Job done. Dougal looked lively, encouraging signing.

He was in the same QPR development team as Deon Woodman (although he's a year younger) and if he's anything like as good it could be a potential coup for us. He was released in July, so I guess he was probably an unsuccessful pre-season triallist with a higher level club. He's also an Algeria U20 international, so another potential absentee for international weeks!

 

[editor]

Yes, job done, nice ground, not a particularly inspiring overall performance against a team two divisions below us and just about absolute zero atmosphere throughout.

 

[Bugpowder Dust]

Should have been 4 goals, ref missed a stonewall pen that even their keeper said was "100% a penalty". And disallowed one for offside that was dubious at best.

Did anyone do a check on how many of the players who weren't named in the squad for the Hendon friendly we're in the squad for this one?

Quite different to our last visit ten years back... Can't find the Buzz report though?!

Still had a good time despite it being very different on the terraces away from home these days. Good to see Phil Wilson briefly too. Great view of match from their bar terrace, burger was decent and friendly staff.

To answer my own question - I checked through the list of players that AveryDave posted in another thread as missing from the squad for the Hendon bounce game.

Not in Hendon squad and not included in squad for Erith (possibly injured?):

• Constable
• Chalobah
• Ming
• Jeffrey
• Pingling

In squad for Erith

• Wanadio, (started)
• Jallow (on bench)

Released
- Tumkaya

If I get a sec I will look at the reverse, players who were in the Hendon squad but who didnt feature on Tuesday.

Ricketts was the obvious omission, as his no4 jersey went to Lovatt and confused me for a bit as to why he was playing so far up the pitch until I worked out what was going on!

 

[Sir Nikolai]

I think I heard commentary at erith say there were 29 in the squad which would mean no others had left at that point.

 

[Hamlet Pete]

Do you think anyone would notice if we played all 29 players in one go at the weekend? Maybe we'd win a league game that way...

 

[Al Crane]

Jeffrey definitely out injured, suspect Pingling still injured too. No idea on the others. Rumours abound that Hak has shown no mercy to Ming and he has departed.

Good. Such a bad egg

Sorry, who worked out what was going on?

You did redeem yourself with the Lovett song.... maybe.

One of my favourite Hamlet players from the last few years, Sanch.

I've no more idea what kind of egg he is than you have. I've enjoyed watching him play football a lot.
