Having got our “Blimey, never expected that!” play off challenge back on track last weekend with 3 points against Orient, we hit the home stretch of what’s been a memorable first ever Football League campaign. 6 games to go, 3 home, 3 away. Best put our finest big boy piss boiling trousers on and get […]
Sometime, way back in history, some proper clever clogs smugly said “Time is a great healer” to some poor sod who’d just suffered a traumatic experience. And probably at the hands of the smug bastard trotting out that crap. Well we’d like to take the opportunity to place on record our feelings in this regard […]
Back in 1981, I got taken to GGL for the first time by my Godfather to see the U’s take on Hitchin Town in the Isthmian League. Not allowed to visit anywhere ‘proper’ by my folks thanks to the rather dodgy atmos in grounds at that time, I instead tagged along with Alan to watch […]
Well hello dear reader! How lovely to see you again. Thank for joining us for what feels like episode 9673456 of “Get up early and schlep North for League 2 football” of what some people refer to as ‘the 2021/22 Season’. Yes, ladies and gents, it’s a Saturday and that of course means another visit […]
In recent years there’s been some unusual pairings for the U’s as we’ve slowly made our way through the ranks, playing sides and visiting grounds we’d never really thought would be possible outside of something like the FA Cup. For me, one of the those was meeting Oldham Athletic. Never did I think I’d get […]
With the last couple of games ending in defeat thanks to having more casualties than, well, a series of Casualty, we’ve gone from 3rd place and being firmly in the hunt for another insane and all round confusing promotion to sitting 8th, just outside the play off spots. Nothing we can do of course, just […]
Following our rather less than successful first ever visit to the Bescot at the weekend and all sorts of other fast food based nonsense, we are once more on the road racking up the miles for the midweek fixtures, this time heading down to another new (for most of us anyway) ground in Swindon Town’s […]
Ah football. As a sport it can be a funny sort sometimes, giving you the most incredible highs one day and then giving you the cold shoulder and leaving you wondering why you bother at all the very next. This week’s been a good example to be honest, a good home league win followed up […]
Us? Oooh, we’ve always been big big Pizza Cup guys. Oh yeah. Massive fans. Can’t get enough of that Pizza Cup action, it’s all we talk about in fact. Pizza Cup this, Pizza Cup that. We even dream about it when we sleep. So it’s literally just Pizza Cup chatter night and day around here. […]
So, we’re into the last quarter of our debut Football League campaign and I think it’s fair to say that shit is getting real now. After seeing off a doomed looking Scunthorpe last weekend, we’ve now 12 matches left to play and still find our pin badge collecting, bobble hat wearing, meat paste sandwich munching […]
