When the linesman began flagging I assumed it was to advise a reversal of the penalty award, but instead both Peckham centre banks were shown straight red cards (presumably for foul and abusive language)
It's nearly 40 years since this was my team's home ground in the Saturday afternoon London Banks League, when it was the National Dock Labour Board sports ground, and I'm glad to see Cray have incorporated the original clubhouse into the redevelopment. It was just a big open field in those days with the clubhouse in the middle, 4 pitches on the side of the new stadium and another 2 on the opposite side where the crazy golf is now. There were dressing rooms for 12 teams and a big dining hall upstairs. Most other venues we played at were similar. You'd get a free or very cheap sit down meal after the game plus jugs of beer on the table. In the days when major employers encouraged and subsidised social activities for their workforce. I'm looking forward to visiting with the Hamlet on New Year's Day.Pics from Bexley!
