I thought I'd kickstart this blog with some recollections of the matches I've been to this season. The memory isn't what it used to be, as I'd normally struggle to tell you what I had for dinner the
night before.
5/9/09 vs VCD Athletic (h) - won 3-0
A Leon Smith hat trick, and realising that this man could out run a whippet at full pelt. Even his shadow had trouble keeping up.
26/9/09 vs Aylesbury (h) - drew 2-2
An FA Cup match that saw the score at 1-1 after what seemed like 3 seconds.
In the last 15 minutes we must have had approx 30,000 shots on goal which the Aylesbury keeper kept out. The only explanation is that he was replaced with an octopus.
28/11/09 vs Romford (h) - won 6-2
This match had more or less everything. Jordan Fowler scoring a hat trick of penalties, 2 Romford players sent off, and probably the angriest manager in history, who also got sent off. He actually just moved a few feet back behind the dugout, thus enabling him to continue the verbal expletives towards the ref.
2/1/10 vs Leyton (h) - won 4-0
Apart from how poor Leyton were, I can't remember much more ....................... nope it's gone.
19/1/10 vs Potters Bar Town (h) - won 3-1
A tough, hard fought match, which could have gone either way. Goals by Edgerley, and Smith(2) settled things.
The Potters Bar assistant manager was built like a brick shipyard, who I doubt would've been happy if his team were 6-0 up. This was the day my son learned some new swear words.
23/1/10 vs Tilbury (h) - won 3-2
Probably my favourite match so far.
End to end stuff, which looked like it was heading for a draw until Gary Burrell smacked in a last minute winner. Bloody marvellous !
9/2/10 vs Redbridge (h) - won 2-1
I must admit that I thought we'd walk this, but Redbridge didn't play like a team who were 2nd bottom. They put together some lovely one touch moves, and their goal was sublime. I hadn't seen Wingate lose up to this point, and judging by the first half performance, I thought that was going to end.
It was the proverbial game of two halves though, with Ahmet Rifat's introduction proving to be the difference. His equaliser, followed by Leon Smith outpacing the defence at 500mph, and slotting home the winner, meant 3 points and my record intact.
