Administrator Stan 18,428 Posted September 5, 2018 Administrator Share Posted September 5, 2018 yep, I've gone to a local derby match between AFC Rushden and Kettering last year. Been to see Bedford Town a few times in recent years. I remember between 2004 and 2008 it felt like I was non-league football at Leicester  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to play indoor football at the local club, i was one of the starting strikers, until the cocksucking coach decided to put his son in my place. I left and never went back to play there again.

Rushden won 3-2 which is pretty decent considering Kettering were a division above at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny 2,216 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Hayes & Yeading away at Luton a few years ago, wouldn't mind going to Wealdstone vs Harrow when I'm back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Dan+ 1,919 Posted September 6, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted September 6, 2018 I've hardly ever done it but I think that'll change if this situation regarding overseas games contaminates the English game like I fear it might. I think that'll be the final straw for me and I'd struggle to be able to financially support it. Leicestershire's clubs really do struggle though. I genuinely could not tell you who the next highest club in the county is without looking it up. My guess is Barwell - a village about 7 miles from me, of a similar size to the one I live in, population around 8,000, punching above their weight due to being propped up by a backer. I used to go and watch Hinckley United every now and then which is the town right next to Barwell, but they went under a few years ago and have now reformed in this bizarre situation where a club called Leicester Road FC uses their ground, and AFC Hinckley plays about 15 miles away in a village called Heather. Baffles me. I just don't get how Loughborough hasn't got a decent side. The national sporting university, town bigger than the likes of Yeovil, Macclesfield, Torquay etc... and their local side Loughborough Dynamo I don't think has ever played above the 7th tier.

Eco 3,008 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I went to a few matches during some of my trips to England. Have seen Blyth, Boston, Bromley, and Havant & Waterloo. Absolutely love the atmosphere of non-league... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Culture 1,651 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Been numerous times to non-league games over the years, as far down as the Essex Senior League (the 9th tier of English Football). There’s not too many near me that I’ve not been to. Cheshunt and Waltham Abbey are two I can think of but after them, I struggle to name more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loughborough once beat arsenal 8.0. Our worst ever defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirBalon 2,692 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I've watched local football in Spain in my stints living there and here in London I tend to go to watch the Highbury Harriers which is a team of 6 to 8 year olds.  Have already registered my son with them for the future...

Tiny. I walked into the second half of Enfield 1893 (who don’t actually play in Enfield) v Basildon United in pre-season in July. The crowd was 14, I think I was the only one there who wasn’t a relative of a player. Been to Redbridge FC a couple of times and the crowds must be 30 at most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,679 Posted September 6, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted September 6, 2018 You think you've seen non league football, try going to an Isle of Man Division One game between Rushen United and Douglas & District. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
