Peckham are at home again on Saturday vs Ide Hill, and again on 26 September vs Faversham Strike Force (what a name!). Short trip to Farnborough OBG (just past Bromley) on 19 September.
Given the existing situation, then it was great to be able to beat the record league gate (159) last Saturday, which is still only about 10% capacity. Hopefully top that again this Saturday...

Much more exciting game than last week. The Peckham number 9 is too good for that league, he can definitely play a few levels higher.

back on the other side
Right with you on that one....am enjoying your coverage Ed, do please keep the thread going, would like to get over for at least one game this autumn
If Peckham gets a bit too big time what with fangled tickets and stands I dont know if its still going there, its a few years back now, but on the other side of the south circ there were some Sunday league team matches in the past - I remember watching a team called The Upsetters (from Brixton quite possibly) play once - that was proper one man and his dog territory
google isnt throwing much up but found this on youtbe from 2009 of a youth match
go on the upsetters!!!

It wasn't pretty to watch. Farnborough were the stronger team.

No goals but a record crowd and plenty of action as Peckham Town draw at home with Faversham Strike Force, Sat 26th Sept 2020
Despite the chilly weather, a record breaking crowd of 184 came along to the Menace Arena today to watch Peckham Town battle out a 0-0 draw with the wonderfully named Faversham Strike Force.

The must visit away ground in that division is probably Crockenhill, about a half hour walk from Swanley station which has a direct service from Denmark Hill. It can also be reached from Brixton, changing at Bromley South. The fixture doesn't appear to have a date yet but it's an amazing little ground that hosted Step 5 football for many years before lack of floodlights forced the club down the leagues.

100% agree with that. It's one of my favourites at any level. Wonderful location, there is a hidden footpath across a field that cuts some of the walk time down. The clubhouse has an array of memorabilia. They got a set of tracksuits for Tony Cascarino when they sold him.
Crockenhill is a gem. It's a sad reflection on the desperation for floodlights at levels that can't afford them that they got stuffed.
When living in Liverpool I watched Prescot Cables. In December and January they kicked off at 1.30. Now teams at that level, they were NWCL then, need to have spent stupid money on floodlights. Madness with that size crowd.

Remember going to that Sunday morning youth team game there about 25 years ago? We went to the village pub afterwards with Mishi and as soon as we walked through the door a fight broke out! I think Griff might have been there too.

Mishi walking into a pub and a fight breaking out? I couldn't possibly imagine that this might have been linked!

What a delight Crockenhill is! I've been here a couple of times before, but took the opportunity recently to catch an end of season midweek ...

It was genuinely a pure coincidence! None of us had ever been there before and we were probably the only people there who weren't regulars. The landlady was really embarrassed and apologised profusely to us: "I'm ever so sorry, we've been here five years and it's never happened before, it's not usually like this." Needless to say we thought the whole incident was hilarious.
I went back for the first time only a couple of weeks ago as I was in the area with a friend.
