The Conference: A Southerly Aspect
31/Aug/2004 (Accrington) - Dot Brown
|
Renewing Old Acquaintances . |
|
|
Accrington Stanley |
The old uns will spin some yarns |
|
Aldershot |
Our first lesson in Conference football, painful, but home by 5.50 p.m. |
|
Barnet |
Just an hour on the tube, Always lots of goals |
|
Carlisle |
We did the double over them last year, we must repeat it this season |
|
Exeter |
A relaxing trip on the train to sunny Devon |
|
Halifax Town |
The Shay, quaint, rusticated, and scary. 1-2 defeat in the LVD Vans last season, revenge must be ours |
|
Hereford United |
Our second lesson in Conference football [more pain] and when we go there the BULL to contend with as well [paraded prior to our FA Cup defeat some years ago] |
|
Scarborough |
No more need be said, 4 points from the two Christmas derbies will do. |
|
Whereabouts Are These!! |
|
|
Burton Albion |
The Cloughs! What has the son learnt from Dad? We will find out. |
|
Canvey Island |
Pitch reported to be below the Thames water level at high tide, and the graveyard of Northampton Town |
|
Crawley Town |
Heads down! Low flying aircraft |
|
Dagenham & Redbridge |
An enviable stadium so the spies say |
|
Farnborough Town |
Heads down again- more low aircraft |
|
Forest Green |
A VILLAGE! A VILLAGE! To what depths have we plunged? The free fall must stop here |
|
Gravesend & Northfleet |
In the Garden of England- not in this part of Kent |
|
Leigh RMI |
Train-repairers- David McNiven was here, lost his spanner, he's gone to Queen of the South |
|
Morecambe |
Tuesday night in October, the wind howling in from the sea, bitter!, thermals needed and more |
|
Northwich Victoria |
Ground the Drill-field, we all stand in lines, smartly to attention, only saved from relegation by Telford's demise |
|
Stevenage Town |
Boring trip on the A1, boring new town, lots of little boxes |
|
Tamworth |
They were the Lambs [their nickname] at Bootham Crescent, they might be the RAMS by the time we get to Staffordshire for the return |
|
Woking |
Posh, commuter belt, so best behaviour with collar and tie and pastel twin sets for the ladies |
In summary, a Barnet supporter we met at the Middlesex-Yorkshire Sunday Cricket League game said 'the conference is FUN! !" Not so far, let's leave them their so called FUN and get out of the Conference. I miss Kidderminster's pies, and the 20 minute bus ride to Griffin Park.
