London Tigers v Amersham Town (kick off 7.30pm)

There seems to be some misleading information on another website regarding this evening's Division One fixture between London Tigers and Amerham Town and where it is being played, it will be at Spratley's Meadow and not the so called 'Hidden Gem' in Avenue Park, Greenford, where, you will recall, Tokyngton Manor used to ply their trade amongst other Club's:

It should stay hidden. Probably worst pitch and facilities I’ve seen. Made The Somme look like Anfield.

This should be a ding dong derby cracker mates v mates

[Rhodes]

Savagebee - Not SSML related but I see that Brentford 'B' are at Wingate & Finchley this evening in the Middlesex FA Senior Cup, I wonder what sort of crowd they will get at the Maurice Rebak Stadium. Also what's your view on the so called 'Hidden Gem' in Greenford out of interest, Winslow Boy can't be talking about the same ground.

If it’s the one I saw Winslow play Tokyngton back whenever it was, it was an absolute disgrace, dangerous ruts all over. Shocking place. Viking sports ground or something???

[Rhodes]

Winslow Boy - Well that's really strange because this is an extract from a Tokyngton Manor match programme from the 2009/2010 campaign and it certainly doesn't sound like what you are describing:

As always Tokyngton Manor would like to welcome spectators and any so called ‘groundhoppers’ to the Viking Sports Ground this evening and hope you will enjoy your time in our company at a ground which is widely known as ‘the hidden gem’, presumably so called due to it’s ‘oasis like’ or ‘Garden of Eden’ similarity tucked away off the busy Western Avenue. Please do make yourselves known to us so we can thank you personally for your greatly appreciated visit.

If only we could all write our own reviews eh?

it was an absolute hole. each to their own though.

That's shocking isn't it, I gather the Bees scored just after the interval and professionally held on

[agamemnon3]

'Attendance only 47.'

Well if you choose to schedule a game against a 'B' side at the same time as their first team are playing, then what can you expect ?

There was no need whatsoever for this game to have been played this evening.  The general lack of initiative and imagination among non-league Club Secretaries in and around London continues to be nothing short of staggering.

(As an aside, an attendance that is equally shocking this evening must surely be the 223 who turned up to watch the cup-tie between Barnet and Farsley Celtic.  This, you will recall, was called off a couple of weeks ago only seconds before the kick-off time, after both sets of players had been warming up on the pitch for about an hour).  

 

In passing, you may also have noted an impressive win by St Panteleimon over a hastily-cobbled-together Cockfosters Reserves side.  A thoroughly unnecessary game and a complete waste of an evening for all concerned.  If, however, it has brought some small measure of comfort to some of the people at St Panteleimon, then so be it.

Anyway, the good news is that the lazy and ignorant blazers of the Middlesex FA can now all sleep soundly knowing that their rules have been adhered to.

Because that's all that really matters, isn't it ?
