Even that very same ‘London Tigers’ sign board has since been vandalised/graffitied
...was still (just) legible when I drove past last month - and it does stand out a bit - is white and orange. 
Before that sign was put up, the ground entrance to Avenue Park was notoriously difficult to find - as it was directly off a very rapid section of the A40
- I missed it completely the first time I tried to visit and drove round for ages trying to find the way in from the park behind it - there wasn't one! 
- I gave up and went to Hanwell .... AND the game I was trying to get to had been switched to another venue that AM anyhow!!!
Some wag of course described the arson attack at the time as "doing £10k worth of improvements!" 
It was seriously a bit of a dump already and no-one wanted it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
here's an exhaustive summary of yesterday's games
(well I'm exhausted having written all of this drivel! 
)
NL Round-up
Easter Mon 6th April
NAT
Brackley Town 1-1 Boston United
Braintree Town 0-0
Woking
Eastleigh 2-1 Yeovil Town
Hartlepool United 0-0 Rochdale
Solihull Moors 4-1 Boreham Wood
Sutton United 0-3 Southend United
Truro City 1-1 Forest Green Rovers
Wealdstone 3-0 Aldershot Town
York City 2-1 Altrincham
- York 2 pts clear of ‘dale at the top with three to play – the two meet on Sat 25th – could be some showdown
- at the bottom with just 3 to play - Brackley are 7 pts adrift of Eastleigh and the Sh!ts (latter have a game in hand)
– Morecambe are a point behind them – with Braintree and Truro down
- probably won’t matter as ‘Saints’ have 2 difficult away trips (Scunny & Carlisle) either side of their trip to the Rec on the 18th
NAT-N
King's Lynn Town 0-1 Bedford Town
Oxford City 2-0 Peterborough Sports
- City 5 pts clear of the drop , tho’ Hereford still have 6 to play and Alfreton (like City) 4.
- Peterboro Sports and Leamington relegated so far.
Going up are probably AFC Fylde, who’ve gone past S.Shields recently and have a 6 pt lead.
- currently POs feature Kiddy, Macclesfield, Scarborough, Darlo,& Merthyr
- Chester, Spennymoor & Buxton may ‘crash’ the eliminator rounds and Marine have plenty in hand to have a say
NAT-S
Chesham United 4-1
Slough Town – Slough safe from the drop - just – Chesham are in 8th and just outside the exended POs (4th to 7th to decide who plays 2nd/3rd)
Chippenham Town 2-0 AFC Totton
Dorking Wanderers 1-2 Worthing
– att 3,246 – visitors snatch a win and top spot having trailed just before the hour mark. Both sides have 3 games left
Farnborough 2-0 Horsham
Maidenhead United 2-1 Hampton & Richmond Borough
– ‘Magpies’ stay 6th
- Worthing now ahead of DW on GD – there is only a 4 point spread from 3rd placed Torquay down to W-s-M in 10th
– so a few more twists yet here in the title race and the PO slots are just as uncertain, with Chelmsford in 11th in range of an eliminator spot too
- Farnboro’s win kept them a fairly safe distance ahead of Chipp’num who also won
- Enfield Town and Eastbourne Boro relegated– Bath almost gone have 4 games to play and are 10 pts behind ‘boro.
IL1-SC
Bedfont Sports 1-2
Binfield
Fareham Town 1-1 Bognor Regis Town
Hanworth Villa 0-2
Westfield – att 329 -huge win for ‘Wests’ over PO rivals Villa
Harrow Borough 3-0 Hendon

Leatherhead 1-1 Metropolitan Police
– att 879
Moneyfields 4-0 Littlehampton Town
Raynes Park Vale 2-1 Kingstonian
Southall 2-1 Hayes & Yeading United
-att 174
- ‘Tanners’ already Champs - POs settled - just ‘jockeying' for final positions and home advantage – currently in order Westfield, Moneyfields, Hanworth V. and AFC Portchester
Fareham relegated & Horndean 12 pts adrift - with 4 left and a terminally poor GD - mathematically confirmed tonight if they don’t win at HW
- barring demotions (one mooted within the division :Harrow B) and eligible reprievals due to movements elsewhere - based on PPG:
possibly up to 2 more but more than likely one (or none) 
from :
Met Pol & Littlehampton: same number of games remain (3) are only a few points behind Ascot, Bedfont Sports and Binfield
SLP-C
AFC Sudbury 1-3 Needham Market
Harborough Town 5-1
Banbury United – att 1,052 - Town have 3 left need 3 pts for the title
Leiston 1-3 Bury Town
Real Bedford 4-0 Bishop's Stortford
Royston Town 0-2 St Ives Town
– POs also a bit fluid here due to bunching near the top – currently Spalding in 2nd assuming they can’t haul in Harborough – then Real Bedford, Halesowen & Redditch Utd
- still in touch for 5th spot Kettering, Quorn, Needham Mkt & Worcester City
SLP-S
Basingstoke Town 1-0 Sholing
Berkhamsted 4-1
Hungerford Town

– att 1,851
Tiverton Town 2-3 Plymouth Parkway
Uxbridge 2-0 Hanwell Town
Walton & Hersham 1-2
Chertsey Town – att 1,746 – important win for ‘Curfews’ at the Champions, as they chase a PO spot
Weymouth 0-0 Dorchester Town
– att 2,945
Yate Town 3-0 Evesham United
POs spots currently Farnham & Gloucester - probably both with home berths (3rd/4th) to host Poole or Berko, with Sholing and Chertsey hovering
SL1-C
Beaconsfield Town 4-4 Northwood
Flackwell Heath 2-3
Marlow – att 483 – both sides look to finish a disappointing campaign in lower mid-table
Thame United 0-2
Aylesbury United – att 338 – surprise defeat for PO chasing Thame
- the ‘Red Kites’ are still 3 pts ahead of Hertford in the final PO spot (5th) but have a troublesome run-in
- ‘Ducks’ win here secures their safety for next season
- Rayners Lane and the dissolving AFC Dunstable are down, along with Northwood
- Enfield likely to join them, 3 games left 9 pts adrift and 20 goals worse off than London Lions above them.
- Lions will almost certainly consign Enfield to a relegation spot at rock bottom AFC Dunstable (11 pts and GD -110) on Thu evening
SL1-S
Swindon Supermarine 0-0
Didcot Town
Winchester City 2-2 Bashley
– City in 4th are probably securely in the POs – Shaftesbury have 4 to play and are 7 pts behind – the two meet next Saturday (11th) at the Cockrams

CCL-PN

Kidlington 1-1
Wallingford & Crowmarsh
Milton United 1-2 Harefield United
North Greenford United 1-3
Virginia Water
Windsor & Eton 1-1
Wokingham Town – att 434
- nothing decided here yet – Ashford T. top the pile by 2 from Burnham, both with 3 to play
- tonight ‘Tangerines’ are at BA (NGU): then visit Milton & Wokingham
-‘Blues’ travel to relegated E&K: finish with games at N.Leigh and Harefield
- Broadfields in 3rd only have 2 left
- 4th placed Windsor & E seem to have 6 left (only 5 showing on FWP – looking on FullTime thay may have to fit in an extra game at Hilltop – Edgware?)
- all of their games are away after next Sat 11th visit from Milton. They are only 5 pts behind Burnham
- Reading City are a point further back with 4 to play – host Wokingham this Wed night
- 6th to 8th are NGU Wallingford and Ardley – who may yet feature
- going down (probably) with E&K are one from Nor Lye, Holyport or Amersham
- only a 2 pts spread – the Oxfordshire side have 5 to play all of them look tough
- the other two each have 2 left and meet on the 18th at Spratley’s
CCL-PS
Fleet Town 2-2 Cobham
att 402 – Fleet level with 2 in the last 10’
Redhill 0-6
Knaphill
Tadley Calleva 2-1
Camberley Town
Tooting & Mitcham United 3-2
Thatcham Town
- ‘Hammers’ Champions by some distance –think the PO line up is fixed:
Tadley v Horley
T&M v Fleet
Guildford relegated barring reprieves - one drop-spot to fill : from E&E, E&C or currently in 2nd last Cambo – they finish at Alton next Sat, Eversley home to Redhill
‘Salts’ have three games left, unsurprisingly all at home (Chess ‘n ‘ook's Chalky Lane) vs Alton, Fleet and Tadley – but would not expect too much of a return from those?
CCL-1
Berks County 6-2
Woodley United - att 117 - ‘Swords’ complete their campaign and currently sit 4th but Brook House Wembley or even Woodley, still have games in hand to overhaul them
Chalfont St Peter 0-1 Wembley
Langley 2-4 Westside
- @ Slough
Molesey 0-0 Spartans Youth
Penn & Tylers Green 3-0 Spelthorne Sports
- Penn need 2 pts from 3 games to secure the title from Bedfont, who only have 2 left
– P&TG would be Champs, if they fail to win at PFC on Wed
Rising Ballers Kensington 1-1
Sandhurst Town – ‘Fizzers’ have one game left H v RBK on the 13th - and sit only one point outside the bottom three
- Spelthorne and Spartans Youth just below them have 3 & 2 games to play respectively – that’s assuming three may go down
RBK will finish last – Chalfont 2nd last are 5 pts adrift with only 2 left
HELL-P

SE Dons 0-0 Rochester United - att 412
WESS-1
AFC Aldermaston 0-1
Kintbury Rangers - att 100
- plenty still to play for in this division – some clubs have 6/7/8 games remaining – so very little is settled yet.
Cove, Yateley and Whitchurch still in the mix for honours
TVPL-P
Reading YMCA 1-1 Burghfield
- nothing settled here either - some clubs have 10 games left
Phew
