Chelmsford City v Dorking Wanderers
- trawled round the M25 to Meadowbank on Tue evening, for the FAC 3Q replay vs Salisbury (4-2)
- comfortable win for the 'Wanderers' against a side nr the bottom of this division.
- big crowd but no attendance figures published that I've found yet comfortably above their current average of c. 1,500-2,000 at STEP02 - though wasn't packed.
- host the Sh!ts in the next round (Sat 11/10/25 - match all ticket.)
- ground is now the designated Surrey FA HQ, so pretty plush all round as you'd expect.
- Been here once before post-upgrade - co-incidentally for another cup replay about 7-8 yrs ago, as they rose rapidly up the Pyramid.
- the 'hosts' have come a very long way in the last couple of decades - from the depths of the Sussex Leagues (no idea ?) and spent a fair while in transition just up the hill at Westhumble
- they invested a fair amount of dough getting that up to a decent grading before being 'invited' to take occupancy here.
[NOSTALGIC INTERLUDE]
- a far cry from the ramshackle old pile this place used to be when the long-lost 'Chicks' [Dorking FC] were in residence back in the Diadora days.... and on into their slow painful demise sinking down thru the CCL.
- spent one 'glory year' up in what was the Isthmian Premier in the early 90's finished above Basingstoke and just below Wokingham Town but both the former were relegated. Stevenage were the divisional champs that season!
- looking further down that year (93-94) to reflect on other major ups/downs : Maidenhead Utd were lower-mid-table in Division One - Newbury won Div Two with 103 pts finishing ahead of Aldersh!t (also promoted) & Hungerford.
Bracknell won Div Three that season above Oxford City
- the biggest 'fall/rise' I could spot of those still in existence - were Horsham who finished at the foot of Div 3 - now up at STEP02.
