Ah Leeds, one of the final bastions of virgin territory that has yet to see the Gandermonium boys inflict their trademark idiocy upon it. Well, virgin territory is a bit of a lie as several of the Firm have already sampled the place that invented Jelly Tots in the past. Oh yeah, full of information […]

The Likely Lads
As I head rapidly towards formal and legalised “concession” status, rather than just trying it on at the turnstile on a wintry awayday or at the pensioners lunch club down the Nelly, I find myself drawn increasingly to the more simple pleasures in life and the headlong dash towards what the marketing men laughingly call […]
Yakety Yak, Rossi’s Back!
There is only one thing I can really write for this blog. Ross Stearn, that is all! Wise men say……..no come on, I am a professional. It’s all part of being a Civil Servant! So on Thursday we saw the final qualifier for the World Cup and it’s a welcome back to Peru, completing the […]
A Flange of Flamingos
Ah Ha! Our trip to Birmingham has finally arrived. Seems like a lifetime ago when I passed over a crisp tenner to a Gandermonium Travel’s executive organiser for this one. And yet it never occurred to me that this was going to be a long trip. Especially when you realise that your return leg departs […]
The Third Best Team in Cambridge?
The magic of the cup is back once again for Sutton. And this time it’s another trip ‘Oop North’ to take on some more football league opposition. Cambridgeshire is the county and Cambridge is the town city and surprisingly enough for once it’s not to visit to Milton Road. Well you can’t go there anyway now as […]
Ghoul-less Draw
Halloween, or All Hallows’ Eve is apparently a celebration observed in a number of countries on 31 October, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows’ Day. It begins the three-day observance of Allhallowtide the time in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all the faithful […]
Bertie Smalls
The process by which the Gandermonium editorial board decides whose turn it is to trot this old pony out for your delectation is a well guarded state secret. Well, it was, until I decided that the time has come to lift the lid and shine a light into the more murky corners of our already […]
Cheese Eating Surrender Monkey Hangers
So the boys are back on the road once again and this time it’s only the matter of a simple 530 mile round trip. For Saturday saw Sutton make the journey to the second most Northerly team in the division to take on another one of those bloody ex-league clubs. For the first time ever, […]
No Midsomer, No Murder
The FA Cup. The world’s oldest footballing competition and until last year, something we’d began to fall out of love with a little. Then, like the rest of the country, we decided to go all ‘retro’ & relive the 80’s. In our case that involved going a bit mental knocking out 3 FL sides on […]
The Not So Great Trowbridge Debate
Sorry sports fans it is I, the Duke, here once again. Not wanting to wear out our beloved Chairman Totts of the People’s Republic of West Sutton, I’m back in the driving seat once again. And for this game it was the first ever visit to the KCS GGL for Kirkham & Wesham, sorry AFC Fylde, […]
