Firstly, apologies that this blog is actually the day after the game, I didn't get back until late, but I don't think you care really. Anyway, this week's game was my first trip to the mighty Gooners this season as they hosted Vitoria in the Europa League. This was also an opportunity for me to… Continue reading Nicolas Pépé is actually good?…. Arsenal v Vitoria SC
For those of you hardcore fans of my blog, you will know that I am an occasional Chelmsford City fan. Basically whenever they play away at a ground I need to tick. I had not seen them win since January.... Until today. For you to understand the context of some of the things i'll be… Continue reading It’s happened again…. Tonbridge Angels v Chelmsford City
Today was the day where I finally ticked off a ground that I have wanted to tick for a long time... Farnborough was the destination and you may be wondering why this is such an illustrious tick for me, well the reasons are two fold: Their ground is fantastic for the level they play (seventh… Continue reading Finding my Football Manager hero…. Farnborough FC v Wimborne Town FC
This week's groundhopping adventure (if you can really call it that) took us to the first round of the FA Vase. Fisher FC was the destination and we actually had the funds to be able to use public transport this week! It only cost £1.50 each way but you've gotta celebrate your wins... The journey… Continue reading Bermondsey is full of fish…. Fisher FC v Greenwich Borough
Third new tick in a week? This is music to my ears and today it became a reality, but it wasn’t glamorous, at all... While the prospect of Meridian VP v Lewisham Borough may not sound like a match for the ages, we were still hoping that this local derby might provide some fire. If… Continue reading Three in a week! …. Meridian VP v Lewisham Borough
Yes, back again just four days after my last game, this can only mean one thing... Groundhopping is officially back! This Wednesday night trip took me to Beckenham Town and obviously getting there wasn’t straight forward as it hasn’t been at all recently. To cut a long story short, I had to run from my flat… Continue reading Trying to stat-pad the goal tally…. Beckenham Town v Crowborough Athletic
It’s Monday evening and I’m only just writing my blog from Saturdays game, so that probably says all that needs to be said about the game. In truth the build up to the game had far more stories than the action on the pitch. Anyway this weeks ground hopping installment came in the form of a National… Continue reading Sleepy Saturday in South London… Hampton and Richmond Borough v Tonbridge Angels
Another Chelmsford away day, another defeat, but this is probably the worst of the lot. To be honest we really should have seen this coming, Corinthian Casuals had not won all season before Saturday and they had lost all of their home games. Secondly, there was engineering works going on meaning that we couldn't get… Continue reading Saturday magic from the Casuals…. Corinthian Casuals v Chelmsford City
Yes, I am from Guildford, Surrey, whole 75 miles from the city of Chelmsford. But over the last couple of years I have become somewhat of a Clarets fan, mainly due to the fact that my groundhopping friend is a lifelong Chelmsford boy. Anyway, following Chelmsford has had it's ups and downs. Ups have included… Continue reading The Dark Side of Away Days… Maidstone United v Chelmsford City
As an Arsenal fan, Thursday nights usually mean sitting down at 6pm and watching us struggle to beat BATE Borisov or Östersunds FK. But tonight it was time for a change and time for some Southern Counties East League Division One action with Sporting Club Thamesmead taking on Kent Football United. After getting to the… Continue reading Representing the Garden of England…. Sporting Club Thamesmead v Kent Football United
