16th December is now free for me soooooo... I am seriously tempted to go and see Salisbury v Woking but that involves a fair bit of cash being spent. The cheapo alternative is doing Shoreham Reserves v Hastings United Reserves to see a new Tinpot ground and take in the new-ish Dark Star pub. Still up for offers though, persuade me

It's nigh on impossible for anyone to compete with the sheer exhilaration to be had from a Shoreham Reserves game, but I'll have a go. Come to Salisbury and DaveT and I can meet your train, escort you through the scary streets of our busy metropolis (we have motor cars now, I'll have you know!), and Opening Hours permitted, will guide you with our skilled (drinking) hands to suitable local Hostelries to quench your travelling thirst... A coach will await to take you to the ground, where you will be welcomed by our usual nutters as a friend - your not being a closet Woking fan, I presume? - and you can lend your beery breath in the weekly sing-song we call a football match. TBH it ought to be an okay game. Should be pushing on 2000 there, and Woking are beatable. We lost narrowly to them close season, and we've improved a bit since then. Our Nick Holmes and their Glenn Cockerill are good mates, so the affair should run in a friendly way. Glenn's son Liam is currently on our books, though has been sidelined with injury. If he should come on, it might awake the Woking at least! Special guest status in the Bar before during and after game. Carriage into Town. More beer. I guess Shoreham's looking more and more attractive....?

Another late bit of good cheer is that you won't be stuck with my company all day, as I've just found out that one of our Club Officials isn't back until after the Woking game. But DaveT will look after you! I may be around for a lemonade in the morning, then try and catch you all up later!

Sadly for me it will remain a football free day. Apart from the usual lack of funds, I have to go on a two hour training course in the morning and then in the evening I have to go for Christmas dinner with my staff team, due to one of them booking the table without consulting me about the date

I shall be taking in Forest Green Rovers' shiny new stadium - the one current Conference ground I've yet to visit. Oddly enough, FGR are playing Yeading - who Sutton would have been facing had the Ding been knocked out of the Trophy like us. The question is - with the massed hordes of Yeading fans travelling west on that day, would I be well advised to reserve a seat on my train out of Paddington? And which team should I support when I get there? Perhaps Stephen can offer me some advice! ;D

Sadly Croc, Worcester is so unbelievably awkward to get to on that weekend (4 hours minimum) i'm having to swing towards Salisbury... Come and join us. We're having our pre-Christmas beer-up, (pretty similar to every other saturday for some of us, just with a different excuse) with a few of our forum regulars threatening to come out and put faces to internet names.

"try and catch you all up later" I'm sure you'll manage it, with the help of a couple of large chasers.

Salisbury wins as the only other offer from Worcester is logistically impossible ( Will harass all you Salisbury people closer to the time. I also wonder if Salisbury station has my Sutton scarf in lost property... I dropped it running for the last train on our previous visit and didn't really have time to retrieve it when i realised.

Keep in touch and you can be an honarary White for the day. Lost property? Did anyone tell you about the idiot who bought a souvenir Salisbury/forest scarf (£7) + tshirt (£6), gave them to someone so they wouldn't be lost on Saturday night, collected them on Sunday (before going to the recording studio as part of the choir on our Cup song. ;D ) but managed to lose them walking from one side of our (not that huge) city to the other.

Salisbury must be the Bermuda Triangle for scarves! Honarary white eh? Does that mean i can sing anti-Woking songs? If it does i'm in! Or for personal amusement; Do you still kick, Do you still kick, Do you still kick out fat Sutton fans? Sorry Jared
