Hellenic Prem
Easington Sports v Bishop's Cleeve

 

[Jevonswinscoe]

At Forest Sports Zone, Forest Recreation Ground
AS Referee

 

[Oxpete]

Going to head for...

Hellenic Div.2 East
Chalfont Wasps v. Flackwell Heath Reserves (ko 3pm)

 

[MCMXC]

Now i'm not working Saturday, the plan is;

Matlock Town v Scarborough Athletic

Northern Premier League Premier, for my first match this season that isn't a Step 5 or 6 ground.

Hellenic Prem
Easington Sports v Bishop's Cleeve

There was a recent WDYG post by someone who tried to watch a game at Easington and was turned away because he couldn't scan the QR code and there was no pen and paper alternative. However, Banbury United v Bury Town (FA Cup) is available as a back-up, assuming of course that it isn't a sell-out.

 

[Cherryhopper]

12.45 Kick-off on Saturday 24th October:
Boxted Lodgers v Belle Vue Social Club
Essex and Suffolk Border League Div 1
King George Playing Field
Cage Lane, Boxted, Colchester, Essex CO4 5RE

With a weather front forecast to move in from the west during the day, looking like the best chance of staying dry is to head east. Also plan to be at Boxted Lodgers (ground is in Boxted Cross, not either of the two plain Boxted villages nearby). 3pm first choice is Gas Recreation v Lawford Lads in ESB Premier with Langham Lodgers (Div 3) as backup if there's a lot of injury time in the first game.

FAC4Q Sholing v Torquay - tickets sold out about 5 minutes ago.
I've got two big Southampton League alternatives to choose from:
Whiteley Wanderers v Braishfield
Warsash Wasps v Tendown

If the weather holds, Warsash Wasps will be my choice, since it's not at the usual Osborne Road, but at the back of the Holly Hill Park Rec. This is in Barnes Lane, Sarisbury, just north of Warsash.

With the usual Covid-19 and weather related provisos, Plan A is:

Donyatt United v Netherbury, Perry Street & District Division 2. Donyatt's home ground is the 2nd pitch at Combe St Nicholas, a completely separate enclosed pitch which comes recommended by Tim of this parish so it's ok by me.

 

[Stoodley Pike]

Starting to look like a short run up the A19 for Yarm & Eaglescliffe versus Redcar Town (North Riding Senior League, Premier Division).

According to a Yarm & Eaglescliffe tweet, citing "updated guidelines from the venue" (a school), this game now takes place BCD.

Time for a Plan B.

Time for a Plan B.

I'm told Saffron Dynamo (United Counties League) aren't issuing on Saturday (teamsheet only), so it's going to be one of two Central Midlands League Challenge Cup ties: either St Joseph's Rockware of Worksop (I take it they don't play on the Worksop Town ground) versus Holbrook Sports or Cromford & Wirksworth Town v Retford United.

Taking a first visit to Pershall Park to see

Eccleshall Fc Vs Cheadle Heath Nomads

North West Counties League 1st Div South

 

[WestSussexSAFC]

Bilston Town vs Wem Town

...should it go ahead.

Sacked it off with the weather looking rubbish and the area being under ‘high alert’ with Covid, also Wem Town postponing their midweek game due to Covid.

So managed to get a ticket for the highly anticipated return to the town for Basingstoke Town vs AFC Totton.

 

[FatCat]

Either:

Hackney Wick v Brimsdown
Eastern Counties Div 1 South - Step 6
@ Witham Town FC

or

Silver End United v Dunmow Town
Essex & Suffolk Border League Div 1 - Step 8

 

[buncranaboy]

Looks like my chauffeur is heading for Westfield which makes Ripley Village vs AFC Spelthorne in the Surrey Elite (sic) the logical choice.

 

[bexley gill]

I had earmarked this as the season I was going to complete the Northern Premier League but given the way things are I've scaled down my ambition to finishing SCEL1
So it's Snodland v Rusthall

Yeah I saw that. I've got the NHS app and the two times it hasn't worked, I don't think it was working for others either so probably a poor quality printout or something. On that basis I'm confident that either I'll get into Easington or nobody will. Besides, if the app fails maybe I can fall back on my charm and powers of persuasion Having said that, I did check Banbury but it is indeed sold out.

 

[Dribble!]

12.45 Kick-off on Saturday 24th October:
Boxted Lodgers v Belle Vue Social Club
Essex and Suffolk Border League Div 1
King George Playing Field
Cage Lane, Boxted, Colchester, Essex CO4 5RE

followed by:

3.00pm kick-off
Stillwaters v Bradfield Rovers
Essex and Suffolk Border League Div 4
Mile End Sports Ground
Fords Lane, Colchester, Essex CO4 5FP

Distance from Boxted is 3.4 miles (9 minutes)

Langham is even nearer but I have been there.

Thanks for the info - as have to be back in Ipswich early on Saturday, will also be heading to the first game at Boxted
12.45 Kick-off on Saturday 24th October:

Good luck then, although I think your chances may well depend on whether it's the same steward or a different (and more lenient) person from the occasion described on WDYG.

Please report back and let us know how you got on. Good luck.

either St Joseph's Rockware of Worksop (I take it they don't play on the Worksop Town ground) versus Holbrook Sports or Cromford & Wirksworth Town v Retford United.

They are separate but very close. Worksop entertain Spalding at 1500, St Joseph's starts 1330. On my radar.
