Due to the FA Trophy, the Dons aren't playing this weekend and I need my footie fix.
My first thought was GGL and a booze up with Sal and the crowd. But no, Sutton have fallen foul of the FAT as well.
So my choices are:-
Our ressies playing at Croydon Athletic's ground - one man and his dog. Not exactly the atmosphere I'm used to.
Checking out how Richard Jolly's doing at Carshalton - just a short bus ride away and a likely home win.
Taking a 15 min walk to Imperial Fields - no doubt T&M will lose to Ashford Town.
Forgetting football and taking youngest sprog on a post-Christmas buy-up of Model Zone.
In fact, the last option is most likely what will happen, although if I get my arse in gear, I could get that done in the morning.
Suggestions please(no travelling outside the M25)? I expect most to be totally biased.

Bromley - Braintree
If it were me though - I'd head along to Flackwell Heath vs Pegasus Juniors in the Hellenic League Premier

We're playing Sunday actually. At Wembley Hendon, I assume? In my defence, I checked the livescores website which only puts up the fixtures for the next football day. Had I checked your own website, I'd have known immediately.

Likely home win at the War Memorial Sports Ground? Blimey, someone tell our players 'cos we haven't looked likely to win at home all season. Mr J is looking good but isolated and Hayden Bird is refusing to sign any sodding strikers to help him out. And I would expect Saturday's game to be called off as well. The ground has been rock like all week and can't see it improving unless it really heats up fast. On the plus ( ) side you get to meet me and votp.

Bearing in mind your opposition, I can't see you losing, especially now Harrow have lost the boy wonder to Birmingham City. As for the weather, I think you're right. Distinctly hard underfoot in CR4. As for meeting you, that's something I'd like at some point. I like unorthodox Christians, especially those who like a drink. I'm sure votp will be worth meeting as well.

I'm sure votp will be worth meeting as well. Indeed. However, as The Vicar says, I think there is little likelihood of the game going ahead tomorrow, it already seems a tad nippy out there so I am staying in with a curry and some beer. Hopefully we will see you at some later date in the season and you can see how Jolly is doing (rather well actually, aside from the goals, he does a great amout of work off the ball, if only we had another forward we might not be in the precarous position we are now).

I wouldn't call comfortably in the playoff zone with games in hand precarious. On the other hand, Hendon managed to fall by the wayside last season. Watch out for Staines if you get them in the playoff final. Serious sour grapes if you have the temerity to beat them.

Mansfield v Altrincham for me. ;D Why? Sutton aren't playing tomorrow, and Field Mill is the only current Blue Square Premier ground I need to complete the set. However, the weather is set to frustrate me. We're into another frosty night and there's a pitch inspection at Field Mill at 9.30 tomorrow morning. By then I'll be on my way. if the game's off, I'll just have to spend the afternoon crawling round pubs in Mansfield and Nottingham.

I think that had a fair bit to do with you being AFC Wimbledon rather than just Staines losing. I'm sure you're used to it However will you cope Mark? ;D ;D ;D I'm hoping to meet up with the H&Dub boys in my local in Brighton for a few choice ales before their game at Lewes but the lack of my student loan arriving means i can't actually afford to go to the game if i want to see Sutton the next day! Of course both or one might be off

The better half is still part time in Student Loans (8 years of university to become a clerical assistant!) so I could get her to have a look at whats happening for you? Meadow, game is so far off I doubt we'll be seeing it for some months! Only Ryman prem game on at time of writing was Staines Tonbridge (which should be good'un if it survives) but doubt it'll actually happen.

No football sadly but there was some Dark Star Extra Stout and Hopback Entire Stout on in the Evening Star so i consoled myself with that. Also, for one month only, Dark Star Victorian Ruby Mild (6%). Not my cup of tea but some of you might like to hunt it out. It was selling incredibly well this afternoon.

How will you cope with the excitement? With great difficulty. Ended up with a major spend in Model Zone, verbal diarrhoea (?sp) all the way there and all the way back. Added to that an abortive visit to Maplins (how difficult is it to get a DVD writer for a PC at a reasonable price?) and my day was complete
