Bromley v Notts County for me

Made in Bromley

Whichever match you go to watch this weekend rest assured your support is hugely valued by these local community clubs.

Only 3500 tickets remaining for the Tooting & Mitcham United v South Park game.

Don't delay - avoid disappointment and click the link in the initial post above!!!!

I think the premier league could be the reason clubs have better attendances. The bug is hard to get out of the system.
Maybe it is a way of filtering down the finance in a strange way.
Whichever I hope everyone enjoys their fix

Oh sorry - I thought this thread would be about Friend and Pawson's next match.

Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes)

I've been doing non-league for a fair few seasons now.

Transport generally makes the journey a lot shorter, cheaper and easier.
No queue at the turnstiles
Entrance for adults generally under £10
Beer under £5 a pint, served in a plastic cup to drink in the stands.
Sit/stand where you want. sing with the fans. chat to home and away supporters
Home in plenty of time for tea.

Food: no queues, decent food, fair prices

Players that play for the love and their footballing prospects,...and not the money.

No prima donnas or play-acting
No VAR.
