I’m just searching for the young soul rebels…
Bracknell Town
Bracknell – more roundabouts than you could possibly ever want or need. Unless you’re from Harlow, that is. But then, the two new towns are in an eternal struggle for roundabout supremacy. Worthing council have now entered the race, but the mini-roundabouts and other traffic calming measures pale into insignificance in the shadow of Bracknell’s huge, landscaped behemoths. They even have them sponsored by mobile phone companies or investment banks – what fresh lunacy is this?
The Robins are bob-bob-bobbing along at the moment, but the Rebel’s recent romps on the road should make this an interesting encounter. Make your travel plans to the land of the magic roundabouts.
Consider this: Bracknell wear red and white quarters. We wear red OR white. What will we wear?
League Cup Extra: Tooting & Mitcham United
Back to the land of the shiny lego-brick for a ride on the magical mystery tour that is the Worthing Bryco cup run. It’s big, grey, made of lego and the bar doesn’t have a telly. Most of all, remember your cheese slices.
Croydon
Fly me to the moon, let me play among the stars. Why Frank, why? You can get just the same atmosphere at Croydon, and as an added bonus, the pitch is almost as far away as Mars. The soulless Arena is in Norwood, a mere tram journey away from the seething mass of humanity that is East Croydon station (the home of Nestle, apparently), or a walk from Norwood Junction (in the other direction from Selhurst Park).
A Wednesday night, a car journey through hellish early-evening South London traffic. You may have done it your way Frank, but I’m doing it mine, so leave it.
Where: Croydon – it says it’s in Surrey, but we know different. You may try and apply for city status to hide the fact that you are in bed with the Big Smoke, but you can’t fool us, Billy-o.
Staines Town
The nomads of the Ryman league continue their desperate wanderings across the desolate pitches of south-west London and suburban Surrey. After pitching their tent at Walton last season, the Staines Caravan of Love is currently residing at Egham Town, although by the time the Worthing fun bus pulls up, they may be back at Wheatsheaf Lane. Who knows? The coach driver, hopefully.
Fact: No matter what washing powder they use, the shirts always have Staines on them. Filthy.
Thankfully not living in Yorkshire it doesn’t
