Disappointing Official

CONFERENCE SOUTH
Att: 1140

WEYMOUTH - 1    [Phillips 69.]
SUTTON UNITED - 1     [Fear 9.]

Way back in July when the fixtures were announced, we naturally looked for all the seasidey trips first. Imagine our delight when we discovered one of our favourites, Weymouth was scheduled for a Saturday. Ok, so it’s in October, but who cares!

Daaahn With Margit?

CONFERENCE SOUTH
Att: 498

SUTTON UNITED - 2 [Quinton. Akuamouah]
MARGATE - 0

With only 3 points at home from a possible 24 so far, you could easily see why for us, spending a Saturday afternoon at GGL this season has been something of a chore.

Dull & Wet

CONFERENCE SOUTH
Att: 457

SUTTON UNITED - 0
BISHOPS STORTFORD - 0

With the U’s participation in the FA Cup once again over far earlier that us and no doubt our bank manager would have liked, we’re back to league action with the visit of our old friends from Stortford.

Oggy Oggy...

FA CUP 3rd QUALIFYING ROUND REPLAY
Att: 487

BROMLEY - 2    [OG 42. OG 45.]
SUTTON UNITED - 1    [Fear 15.]

Just in case you’re wondering where the third ‘Oggy’ went, we’ve already had it. In the first game. FFS. Now, if Saturday’s performance (the second half in particular) could be described as, shall we say, ‘shit’, then I’m afraid the expletives required to describe the first half at Hayes Lane in the replay have yet to be invented.

2-0 & We Fucked It Up

FA CUP 3rd QUALIFYING ROUND
Att: 495

SUTTON UNITED - 2   [Scarborough 3. Martin 23.]
BROMLEY - 2    [OG 43. Luckett 48.]

Admittedly, when this draw was made, we weren’t that impressed. Having been spoiled with a trip to Eastbourne in the last round and a cracking cup tie on top of a good ol’ piss up, playing Bromley at home is something of a let down.

Club v Country

CONFERENCE SOUTH
Att: 213

HAYES - 1    [Scott 87.]
SUTTON UNITED - 0

A few weeks before this particular fixture, Chalmers asked me if I was interested in trying to get tickets for the England v Wales World Cup Qualifying clash at Old Trafford. I agreed in principle and checked our fixtures to see which U’s game would possibly sacrificed.

England's Number One

FA CUP 2nd QUALIFYING ROUND
Att: 611

EASTBOURNE BOROUGH - 3    [Tuck 8. Ramsay 35.64.]
SUTTON UNITED - 4    [Watkins 17. OG 55. Martin 66.70]

Now, if you’re a regular visitor in these here parts, you may have worked out fairly well what keeps our little hearts full of joy. A good game of footy and plenty of beer. Now, combine these two simple factors and make it by the seaside and we get almost as excited as a 5 year old on their way to Disneyland after too many E-numbers.
