Some Alternative Awards

[Simon BTFC]

Most Memorable Match

Billericay 4-0 Braintree. Not only did we beat the cheating b'stards, 5 sendings off (+1 in the tunnel) and the sight of their players trying to get themselves sent off make this a memorable match

 

Best Team We've Played

Bishops Stortford (at New Lodge). OK, so we managed to escape with a draw but that was due to JJ turning in what was possibly the best performance I've ever seen by a 'keeper at any level. If any team can thrash us 1-1 Bishops Stortford did it. The Stortford front two were outstanding that day.

 

Worst Team We've Played

Wivenhoe (in the ESC). Apparently some of their players got stuck in traffic and never turned up. We won 5-0 with embarassing ease. Ryan chose a good game to miss.....

 

Goal of the Season

I know this one had been debated elsewhere, but my vote still goes to Lee Williams' effort against Boreham Wood. We've seen some good 'uns recently from Ansell and Stowe as well.

 

Managerial Master-Stroke Of The Season

Danny Gilley. Don't think I've been as shocked to see a team sheet as when we got Sutton to see Gilley in at centre back. He had a good game, played well at centre back for a month then got injured.

 

Now for the important ones......

 

Burger of the Season

Not awarded (by me anyway). Have to say the standard has dropped alarmingly this season with even previous champs Purfleet turning out some rubbery fare. There is more competition for....

 

Worst Burger of the Season

East Thurrock's "George Forman's Low Fat Grill" effort. Dread to think what it would have been like without the low fat grill - mine literally ooozed grease.

 

Pint of the Season

A late winner from "Shining Knight" which was on tap at Grays last weekend. Had a good pint at Harrow as well, but can't remember what.

 

Worst Pint of the season

Was served at Stortford (can't remember which visit). A pint of Carlsberg which arrived with zero head and an insipid flavour, even by Carlsberg's standards.

 

Away Trip of The season

Bedford. Can't remember much about it though..... similar story at Havant!

 

Roll on next season!

Best burger easily goes to Stortford.

 

worst bar could possibly be Kingstonian as after ten minutes in there i must have inhaled 20 fags.

 

the second trip to havant was funny when they had one lady copper and a clearly past it steward 'guarding us'. Were they really going to eject 30 of us for swearing on their own?!

 

Agree with simon, lee williams goal best this season.

worst burger

 

billericay town

 

after promising so much with peppered steak and mushrooms in french bread the billericay burger bar has suffered a major collapse in form

 

on saturday i attempted to buy a cheeseburger for the outrageous price of 2.50. the most expensive i have encountered anywhere this season bar none. i was then informed that there was in fact no cheese and no onions. the lady in front of me was told there was no soup and the lad in front of her had his hot dog served in a burger bap. i bought a portion of chips for my kids and was given a handful of uncooked filth.

 

theirs is one contract i hope doesnt get renewed for next season.

 

 

best burger: bacon and egg burger boretree town - at least theyve got something going for them.

I remember that lady copper, she was actually cheering on Havant too! Not exactly the neutral copper as it would have been back home in Norway...

I would agree with jl in part about the burger and food fare at New Lodge but the fare at home this season was at a higher standard then else where (okay U can say I haven't been to that many away games so what do I know). The Steak and Mushroom French Stick was a gastric delight and up there with the 'Fleet burger of old (I say that 'cos from what I remember it was sadly lacking this season...AGAIN!!!). If we were going to award away burgers, well, in my limited expierience this season my "Fat [****!!****] Burger" award would go to the Braintree Burger with cheese and egg. The worse has to be Havent - a disgusting grease filled sh*te burger not even worth having on the second visit.

 

I would like to put in a mention to the "totty" burger bar at New Lodge. I hear that the girls are sadly no longer with us which is a shame. Their egg, cheese, bacon with 1/4 pounder was delicious and in my enlightened opinion gave the Steak and Mushroom a real run....

 

That is it for the food.......Best pint, I had a Essex Blonde at Grays (is that a wish or a drink - lol, couldn't resist). A light and wheaty beer....The only thing that I can say that made the visit worth while.

 

Next season I have already told a few that I will be making my presence known away from home so the "GAZZABTFC Fat [****!!****] Burger Award" will be a fairer award this season.
