1976_Child Posted 2 September, 2011 Share Posted 2 September, 2011 No 'league' football this weekend so why not get out and support your local non-league club this weekend? I'm off to watch the Red & Black of Southwick F.C take on the mighty Bexhill United tomorrow in the Sussex County Football League, division 2. Up the Red & Black! Come on Southwick! Anyone else going to spend a few quid at their local non-league club over this international-break weekend? P.S, Southwick F.C. was founded in 1882 which is a whole 3 years before us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinjb Posted 2 September, 2011 Share Posted 2 September, 2011 I may go and see either Nuneaton Borough or Leamington. Love the idea of Non-league weekend. There is so much football out there outside of the football league and it is really entertaining when you get into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1976_Child Posted 2 September, 2011 Author Share Posted 2 September, 2011 Would go to Eastleigh but they hate saints and charge 12 quid to stand with a bunch of morons. Totton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1976_Child Posted 2 September, 2011 Author Share Posted 2 September, 2011 Totton & Eling Vs Bournemouth Poppies. FA Cup Qualifying Round C"mon The Millers!!! See! There it is, right there! Why supporting your non-league club is so important. I had no idea that such a club existed! I, of course have heard of Totton F.C., but not Totton & Eling! Bravo! And this is what it is all about, football that is - communities and LIFE! Not just $$££$$$££$£$£$£! (the fact that the Millers were formed from workers of a fag company we can gloss over..... Up the Wickers!! We can beat those Bexhill Scum !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redondo Saint Posted 2 September, 2011 Share Posted 2 September, 2011 Would go to Eastleigh but they hate saints and charge 12 quid to stand with a bunch of morons. Wrong. Many fans and a few directors are SC supporters/seasn ticket holders. Go watch EFC and enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddisalegend Posted 2 September, 2011 Share Posted 2 September, 2011 I thought about going to Eastleigh as they are at home this weekend but for me and the nippers it would cost £20 that's roughly what I pay to watch saints (it helps that the nippers get in free at SMS) seems a bit steep HTBH. On the plus side Southampton Tyro league starts sunday so I get to watch Hedge End Rangers blue play for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintbag Posted 3 September, 2011 Share Posted 3 September, 2011 Normally I would be at Sholing, especially as they are playing in the FA cup today, but unfortunately could not make it due to other commitments. For the first game of the season please note they offered half price entrance to Saints fans producing their season ticket, hopefully this will continue for future games. The added bonus is they wear red and white stripes so you can wear your Saints shirt and fit right in ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackie@home Posted 3 September, 2011 Share Posted 3 September, 2011 Watched Salisbury City win (yet again) 4-2 - very entertaining second half (1-0 down at half time). Saints aren't the only team with momentum from promotion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trader Posted 3 September, 2011 Share Posted 3 September, 2011 How did AFC Totton get on? Won 2-1 with a late late winner. Now 2pts clear at top with 18pts from 7 games - GD+17. Another team with that post promotion momentum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Who? Posted 3 September, 2011 Share Posted 3 September, 2011 Well my local team are Royston Town FC, but they are playing in their FA Cup game tomorrow, but it is away. I go and watch them at Home so does not matter what day of the year it is either. Played 5 won 5, but have played a game less than Leverstock Green who have played 6 and won 6. Going to be a championship season!! http://football.mitoo.co.uk/LeagueTab.cfm?TblName=Matches&DivisionID=17020&LeagueCode=SMID2011 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRM Posted 3 September, 2011 Share Posted 3 September, 2011 went along to Staines Town v Thurrock, new ground not done before and only 16 mins on the train from where i'm currently based, £12 bit steep to get in but nice little ground, crowd of roughly 300 inc 25 away fans and very enjoyable, cracking game ending in 3-2 win for the away side winning goal scored 7 mins into stoppage time. Makes a nice change to go along to a game like that and would recommend getting along to your local non-league games when saints aren't playing. Unfortunately Forecast was no longer at Thurrock, but was pleased to see Craig Maskell is on the coaching team at Staines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackanorySFC Posted 3 September, 2011 Share Posted 3 September, 2011 Sholing won 9-1 at home against newbury and are through to the fa cup 1st qual round. Been to see the boatmen a few times now, decent day out, community feel and unashamedly pro saints there. All those moaning there's no football ain't real football in my opinion.

CLOTH EARS Posted 4 September, 2011 Share Posted 4 September, 2011 I watched Totton beat Barwell 2-1 this afternoon with a 97th minute winner! The ironic thing was that Barwell had used time wasting tactics throughout the 2nd half and because of all the added time we scored so late!..........justice!

stevegrant Posted 4 September, 2011 Share Posted 4 September, 2011 I'm not entirely sure how that is possible but it sounds really really awesome The best thing about it is that it was clearly accidental as well The Wingate midfielder tried to control the ball high in the air, but a Tooting player got there first and his studs went into the Tooting player's chest. You could see that he just didn't see the guy coming, so it wasn't intentional, but it looked horrendous, so doubt there can be any arguments about the red card.

The team I watch, when not watching Saints, Sholing FC are a semi professional club and their players are just as dedicated to their sport as Saints players. Try it one week when Saints are away you will be pleasantly surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
