bigfatjoe1 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 I've just seen it on a map. It's between Woking and Crawley, near an area of outstanding beauty, in what looks like a very wealthy area with a ground that looks as big as Ashton United (actually, it looks a bit smaller). Their badge is the head of a chicken, I think. Should be fun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ritchierich Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 It’ll be the strangest ground we visit but they could well get promotion! Loads of money and loads of momentum + a plastic pitch! Dorking is a nice Surrey commuter town….about as likely to have an EFL team as Nailsworth but FGR did it with money and steady progress and Dorking may be the next one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JED Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Only 5 teams north of Greater London in the National League next season. Nothing between London and Altrincham geographically.

Matt Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Bunch of Amateurs production Dorking Uncovered on YouTube has been running for a few seasons - including this one. I can recommend Bunch of Amateurs other seasons with Barks at step 7 Charlwood and Holland FC too. https://www.youtube.com/c/BunchOfAmateurs https://www.youtube.com/c/BunchOfAmateurs/playlists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are still big issues at York, but those seem to be getting better. One Dave Penney is their Sporting Director. I think a number of the ex-football league clubs are all a bit of a basket case. Us and Southend are probably taking the top spots though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a number of the ex-football league clubs are all a bit of a basket case. Us and Southend are probably taking the top spots though. Southend have settled down a bit but while Ron is still in charge they are still one to watch for the wrong reasons. They began and ended last season poorly and had a decent run from Christmas to about March when they won quite a lot of games. If you are looking for a rival to be Head Basketcase, I'd look no further than Scunny. Other sides who seem to find the Division a perennial struggle are Aldershot and Barnet. Wealdstone and Woking may be down there. You would expect that Dorking will find it a big step up. Most of the top half are either of a decent size, have plenty of experience at this level, are well run and in a couple of cases maybe all three. My top six to watch on the basis of how they went this season would be Notts County, Halifax, two from three of Chesterfield/Wrexham/Solihull, and as darker horses Dagenham and Boreham Wood. Torquay and Bromley the best of the rest. I find it hard to assess Grimsby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't decide whether I like him as he is quiet obviously the last person I'd expect to be a football club owner or hate as arguable a bigger cock than the one of their badge....

bigfatjoe1 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Do you remember when we used to chant about the next away game? 'To Wealdstone, to Wealdstone, ta da da dadadada.' 'If you're going to Woking clap your hands, if you're going to woking clap your hands, oh if you're going to Woking, you're going to Woking, you're going to Woking clap your hand.' 'Dorking, Dorking here we come, Dorking here we come.' 'We're all going to Eastleigh, We're all going to Eastleigh, nah nah nah nananana.' 'We're going to Boreham, we're going to Boreham, you're not, you're not.' Fucking hell that was depressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
