Not sure Bromley were there when we were? The game of being locked out was Woking I believe? Whilst I never want to go back, no doubt that non league had its own certain charms. It was great fun whilst winning but I can’t imagine what it must have been like for teams like Luton It was Woking. And a good job I got there early. Any later and I’d have been locked out. UTG! Haha yes if we had stayed in the pub for the one more pint like my mate's had wanted we also wouldn't have got our raffle like 'tickets' at the turnstile.

Think t was Welling if I remember correctly. Dire nil nil not long before Christmas. Others have suggested Welling and, on reflection, I believe that's correct. It was absolutely freezing, proper 2 coat weather, and the game was pretty awful. It was a disjointed stadium, Felt right at home, with a narrow away fans terrace along one side of the pitch, and we also had half of a towering modern cantilever stand at the end of the ground. All the home fans changed ends at half time, ala Eastville in the 60's and 70's!

They have a great cantilever Stand at one end and gasheads were in long narrow terrace to one side, until it was full. And it was in January. Pretty sure Welling doesn’t have a big stand. As you say not much of a game 0-0. Although no one changed ends at halftime at that match so I might be wrong. UTG!

Welling was proper dire, we sat in a small stand on the side of the pitch.....home fans swapped ends at HT Both appalling games nonetheless!!

Welling was a 0-0 first week of December (8 days after we’d played them at home) and Woking was the lockout in the mid January. Also a drab 0-0.

I have obviously got my Wellings and Wokings mixed up. i went to both games and both were dire and forgettable as games, more noted for the large Gas attendances and friendly nature of non-league grounds and fans. I am probably totally befuddled with this memory as well, but wasn't it in one of these games where James Clarke had a certain Snake in his pocket all match?

We were in the stand, drank at a pub miles away and caught a bus to the ground - UTG

Woking had a large police presence, can't recall it at any other place we went.

I honestly would have enjoyed the experience.
These days I go to a lot of games in South America and they make the Mem (and quite a few conference grounds) look like the San Siro.
Nothing quite smacks tinpot than players on the pitch waiting for a neighbour to throw a ball back!!

The latest post on the Saddlers Salford match thread:
Having read all the comments, all I can say, is I agree. Slow, ponderous in the build up went forward to go backwards then just punt a hopeful ball up front, to lose it as we do not have a positive forward line, then the defence going missing was another major blow Where do we go from here, hopefully only one will be relegated and there are worse teams than us

According to Radio Stoke,DC and James Clarke nominated for League 2 awards to be announced later? They reckon Crewe or Vale managers will get it.Not sure why DC is being considered.
