sheeshkebab Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Hello! Hoping you friendly non-league types can help. I'm a bit of a foreigner here, as I'm from "The North" and will be in/around the SSML area, vsiting my girlfriend, and looking to take in a friendly on Saturday 20th July as she's at work. When I'm back home and not at a Bay (you're probably wondering who I support. Whitley Bay, of the Ebac Northern League Div 1) match, I do love a groundhop, so I figured this was an ideal opportunity to see something a bit different to the football back home. Anything goes, Step 1 (Gateshead) to Step 10 (University teams, and literal pub sides) with Whitley sitting nicely at Step 5. I disgress. I'll be coming from SG7 (Baldock), and after reading the list of fixtures here I was wondering which the best game to go to would be, bearing in mind that I don't drive and I intend to walk there and back (decent legs, and limited funds!) Any info about prices, postcodes, pints/pie quality, will be greatly appreciated. Best of luck to all SSML clubs this season, perhaps we'll meet in the FA Cup or the FA Vase. I recognise a couple of club names already, I remember our Vase ties v Dunstable, and also Biggleswade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petethegreek Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 You can find a list of fixtures for SSML Clubs here http://www.nonleague.co.uk/topic/176501-pre-season-friendlies-2013/?p=1906345 I would recommend that you check with the Club Secretaries to confirm details before travelling.

Karen Browne Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I would suggest Ware v Hertford Town (Kick Off 1.00pm @ Wodson Park) followed by Wodson Park v Cockfosters (3.00pm) however others that are in your area would be Ampthill Town vs Royston Town (3:00pm) Codicote vs AFC Kempston (3:00pm) Hertford Heath vs St Margarestbury (3:00pm) Panshanger vs Welwyn Garden City UK Football Academy vs Hoddesdon Town (12:00noon, North Herts College, Hitchin) Wormley Rovers vs Colney Heath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the reply. Yea, I'd seen that page, it's very handy, everything in one place! I'll check with the relevant people before I go. That UK Academy game at North Herts College caught my eye. I would suggest Ware v Hertford Town (Kick Off 1.00pm @ Wodson Park) followed by Wodson Park v Cockfosters (3.00pm) however others that are in your area would be Ampthill Town vs Royston Town (3:00pm) Codicote vs AFC Kempston (3:00pm) Hertford Heath vs St Margarestbury (3:00pm) Panshanger vs Welwyn Garden City UK Football Academy vs Hoddesdon Town (12:00noon, North Herts College, Hitchin) Wormley Rovers vs Colney Heath UK Football Academy vs Hoddesdon Town gets my vote so far. I'll look into it further, thanks for your reply! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afterwards you could always catch the 314 from Hitchin town centre at 2.00pm to Codicote, arriving 2.20pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neutral Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I'd reccomend Ampthill vs Royston. 2 good sides, both pusihing for promotion next season-albeit one division apart! I love Ampthill's ground, very quaint, think any Non-League fan should visit it. Codicote are a good watch too! Enjoy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate, you should watch Ampthill v Royston, Ampthill are going to win the vase this year. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheeshkebab Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 I doubt Ampthill will win the Vase! We want it back! I'll be at UK Football Academy vs Hoddesdon Town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
