1976_Child Posted 12 November, 2011 Share Posted 12 November, 2011 Going to watch Lewes v Bury in the Ryman South. Personally, as a loyal Southwick FC fan (Sussex County League) the idea of visiting Lewes is akin to me frequenting Fratton Park. However, The Wickers (Southwick) are not playing at home today and Lewes serves Harvey's Bitter which a delightful tipple. Also, there is more chance of catching the England game in Lewes after.

CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 12 November, 2011 Share Posted 12 November, 2011 (edited) Not Totton sadly, but I did get to go to AFC Bmth v Gillingham in the FA Cup this afternoon. A highly entertaining game that Bmth somehow managed to draw 3-3 after leading for most of the time and being easily the better side. Overall the quality was well below what I've become accustomed to at St Marys needless to say, but football doesn't always have to be technically impressive to be worth watching if you know what I mean. Trust me that Bmth's keeper (Darryl Flahaven) was so bad that even Tommy Forecast would need not fear for his place - a valuable reminder of how lucky we are to have Kelvin. The only player who really stood out for me in the positive sense was the home sides wide left player Scott Malone - no Adam Lallana but this lad can play a bit.

Sometimes your attempts at irony - if I read you right - don't really work. I went, I am a Saints fan but i took great pleasure in being able to support a side that play decent football. And as my grandfather on my mother's side hailed from Totton I felt no pangs of guilt for transferring my allegiances for the day. Perhaps you should start posting more genuine posts rather than trying to be too clever. Apologies if I have misread your thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLOTH EARS Posted 13 November, 2011 Share Posted 13 November, 2011 I am a Saints fan but i am, a Tottonian and today was a great great day for the town. we ( Totton ) are loving all the attention we are getting from the media at the mo, we feel very honoured and priveleged and hopefully there will be more to come! The club was buzzin this evening and there was lots of tears of emotion from several club people, days like today remind me why i love football so much!

sotonjoe Posted 13 November, 2011 Share Posted 13 November, 2011 I went and it was a good afternoon's entertainment. To be honest, I thought the standard of football was poor; it was certainly poorer than I had expected, and I have watched some non-league stuff before (Morecambe in the Conference and bits and pieces of Eastleigh). As far as I can remember all (or most) of Totton's 2nd half goals came from getting the ball out to the wide left player, him beating his man (admittedly, nicely done at times) and putting a decent ball in to the box. Time and time again Bradford had three 'defenders' in the box, not marking anyone, and they were beaten by an incoming Totton player to the ball. I was shocked by how aggressive and physical the game was, both in a positive and negative sense. It was good to see the level of energy, enthusiasm and commitment, but Bradford were certainly a filthy side who fouled Totton time and time again. One of the Bradford coaches was a bit of character as well. Just before half time I heard him moaning that, "We've come all this way, we're losing 3-1 to a bunch of ****heads and now they've nicked one of our balls." The ground was straining to deal with the number of people they let in; not surprising really when their website claims that the ground will be licenced for "close to 2000" spectators and yet they admitted over 2300. Of course they want their pay day, but it made getting food and drink difficult and using the bog a near on impossibility at half time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huffton Posted 13 November, 2011 Share Posted 13 November, 2011 Hopefully they'll get a decent easy home draw in the next round then get a massive team away in the third, so get a nice big payday. Just hope they don't get MK Dons, Totton will have more fans... Saints at SMS would be an amazing draw if it happened, although I think I would have to become neutral for the day!

bpsaint Posted 13 November, 2011 Share Posted 13 November, 2011 I hope they get an easy draw, through to the third round and a home draw against the skates. Wonder if they'd move that to St Marys for safety concerns should that happen? I'd imagine thousands of Saints fans would fancy it as a bit of a mini derby, and the skate fans would come in numbers as they'd still see it as getting one over on the 'fackin scummers'.
