Your favourite non league ground...

[T Corcoran]

We should get a pink n blue version of that pitch border when the new ground is built

I'd happily see that

 

[editor]

I quite liked it. I thought it was very quirky

Why not embed some adverts into it as well and go the full corporate package?

 

[Pink Panther]

I quite like Woodside Road and I loved the contrasting colours on the first 3G pitch between the pitch and sidelines. Think I remember Mishi being furious about it though. Someone was anyway and he seems the likeliest candidate.

I reckon editor is your "likeliest candidate"!

 

[KentyinWeardale]

The red border has gone now after "remedial work" (i.e total replacement) has been done of the whole pitch. To be fair I thought it looked quite good but I was very much in the minority.

I'm pretty confident it was Mishi now that Roger has supplied Intel.

It's horrible

Dulwich Hamlet grab all three points on Worthing’s wobbly red and green fake pitch

Dulwich’s play off push continued with a comfortable away win at Worthing, with the 0-1 scoreline flattering the hosts.

Don't get it. Still think it looked great.

 

[Nivag]

Don't get it. Still think it looked great.

I liked it to. I'm hoping for a pink and blue border when the new stadium is built.

 

[Pink Panther]

Don't get it. Still think it looked great.

It looks better in the photographs at four years distance. I mainly remember how poorly that surface played. 3G pitches aren't all the same, some are unnaturally fast and bouncy while others are far too slow, but that one seemed bumpy and uneven. The contractors obviously bungled the installation or it wouldn't have required lengthy remedial works a few months later. (I was at Fisher yesterday for a great game on a pitch that seemed no different to grass from where I was watching.)

No question the pitch was entirely ropey.

Scotland - Ayr United, Pollok and Benburb's old ground (which now has been criminally built upon and horrible modern ground built next door)
England - Lewes, Hitchin Town and Hastings United
Overseas - Altona 93!

Ayr United's ground is a cracker - can't imagine there can be many grounds of that size left in the UK that have seen so little redevelopment. It's a proper throw-back.

However, the pedant in me needs to point out that Ayr play in the Scottish Championship so it's very much not a non-league ground.

You got me there! It's a cracker though.

Pollok sounds a bit fishy!

Did you make that pun just for the halibut?

 

[Cat Daisy]

Did you make that pun just for the halibut?

No just because they cod.

Let us know when you're going and I'll (finally) get back there and watch a game again. Beer tent currently being crowdfunded Chuck us a PM if you like.

Going on Saturday Ron Merlin

 

[Ron Merlin]

Sorry marty21 I can't make it tomorrow - my Saturdays are mad busy these days. Enjoy the guest ales in the beer tent though. New River Brewery, Redemption and East London Brewing beers will be on according to the club's Twitter.

It was last Saturday tbf , exciting 2-2 draw , I've been 3 times now and yet to see the team beaten. My mate chairs the youth team so you might know him , everyone was saying hello to him , he is an ETFC celeb

 

[Ron Merlin]

So it seems! I've only caught the online feedback and seen the highlights though - here if you want them. I'm almost tempted to make the time to see them play again - not been tempted before as, well, unhappy circumstances, plus I'm not keen on the manager's long-ball strategy. It's just not the Enfield way. This does seem to be slowly changing at least. Don't know him I'm afraid as I've not been for a good few years now. If I do finally get my arse in gear and definitelydefinitelydefinitely intend to go to a game then the first pint's on me

Otford Utd for the tractor

Tractors, trees and goals – Peckham score four against Otford United in deepest Kent – photo report

On Wednesday night, Brixton Buzz travelled south-west to the tiny village of Otford (pop: 3,465) to watch Peckham Town take on the local team – and win convincingly.

But my absolute favourite has to be Crockenhill

Sorry marty21 I won't be going tomorrow. Too much else to do, including sleeping half the day - bloody knackered!

Pitch inspection at 10.30 tomorrow so best check @ETFCOfficial or the club website before travelling.

Bognor, Tooting, Leatherhead, Carshalton, Hastings, Bury Town, Billericay, Margate, Worthing, Lewes. Too many to decide which one is best, I’ve had great days at many.

Crockenhill have had another disastrous season and will be dropping to equivalent of Step 9 next season. Check out their recent results. The big cup win was against a team of 8 players! Clearly they wanted out and didn't want to be fined for pulling out of match.

They have two points and have conceded even more than the Hamlet in just 19 league matches.

My man at the club ok'd it before I set off - although it doesn't take long to get there - 10 minute walk to Rectory Road station, then 20 or so minutes to Enfield - took a while to get to the ground as we stopped at a few pubs lacklustre 1-1 draw in the end - I have not yet seen ETFC lose

Glad you had a good day out, marty21
Highlights if you want them.
