readingbedding Non-League day...
Way too try-hard.
The people behind this mirror exactly the people who were up for and invested in the Ebbsfleet debacle.
To a man.
Football's football, just turn up whereever, whenever.
But, as usual, must have the big auld show off badge.
Look at me, aren't I great, 50% off please.
Vomit.
Ian Herring Couple of us old Elm Park boys are off to Guildford City on Saturday. Sevenoaks in the F.A. Vase.
Nice easy train journey from Wokkers. Guildford full of nice old boozers and some classy rich MILFs.
Guildford's ground a shambly old collection of sheds and bits around a running track at a place called The Spectrum.
Six or seven quid to get in.
Looking forward to some non-league catering. Cheeseburgers with real, hard, stale cheese and meat that was last on the hoof several decades ago shortly before it was put in the freezer circa 1979 or something and some thin tea.
We've done a few of these trips over the past few years to various clubs in the Home Counties. It's always good, semi-clean fun.
At Egham one year we found an old leather 'style' office chair in one stand with the words 'Jimmy Loves Boys' spelled out in emulsion.
Joyous times.

If the cheeseburger you are about to experience is anything like those on offer at W&E, then you are either in for a treat/dysentery (delete where applicable).
Ian Herring Finished up with a few pints of cider in Fuller's pub near river in town and train home later.
Ian Herring Guildford City v Sevenoaks was grand.
Lovely, weird ground set in a kind of natural amphitheatre of trees and banked grass with a stand and terrace along one side, running track around the pitch, athletics ephemera scattered about, nets for discus and hammer, that kind of thing.
No bar, so we had a drink in the Spectrum, a leisure centre, so the smell of chlorine and the sound of screaming kids as we downed Newcastle Brown - next time we'll stay in Guildford as it's only a twenty minute walk to the ground through lovely leafy streets and parkland.
5-0 to the home side, FA Vase, pretty good standard of football. Honest, hard play and no Premiershite-style histrionics. No music after goals, no jester hats, none of that sh*t.
Sevenoaks not as bad as the scoreline suggested.
Beautiful thin tea and as I had hoped, real non-league standard cheeseburgers. Served by faded MILF (yes I would have done, I like 'em like that) and done in a microwave. Don't know what the meat was, onions reconstituted mush, fantastic chemical cheese and mustard and sauce, e-numbered to buggery. Delicious, I had two.
Crowd was about eighty or so I suppose, a handful from Kent, right 'geezers' they were. The Guildford crowd was mild and pleasant, like the town and the weather.
A great trip, would deffo go there again soon. Six quid to get in.
Bizarre moment, another mate of ours was there independently of us. His boy's a season ticket holder at the Mad Stad and his other son was playing for Sevenoaks.
He stood behind us shouting 'come on Wokingham' repeatedly for about five minutes until we twigged, the spastic. Bemusement on the faces of nearby Guildfordians.

Recommended. If you're total weirdos like us, natch.

Sounds like that would have been The White House. Remember being in there one lunchtime with a couple of colleagues - one of whom got chatted up by the local lush

That was the place. Early evening wasn't too bad. Fair sprinkling of talent, some out with their blokes looking bored, some on their own. The odd swan. We were never going to get chatted up, looking like sex offenders as we do.
Delighted that you got your cheeseburger from hell!

Trash food of the highest order Ark, I can tell you.
Dirk Gently I've now given up on HNA? but I just popped back into this thread to post my experiences of Non League Day, in case anyone fancies reading them.
