What a debut match to be selected for/lumped with for a first Gandermonium match report. Borehamwood away on a misty Monday night. Nothing less than the El Thameslink Classico itself! It’s an easy hop up from St Pancras where I work to the suburban Goonerville of Wood and Elstree. Out of the station and things […]
Tony Daley’s Gay?
Well, what a shit week that was eh? A rather lame exit from the County Cup, the loss of a well liked member of staff thanks to off the field events caused by utter weapons and then very recent ex-U Michael Boateng being nicked and subsequently charged as part of the match fixing enquiry launched […]
When Hopes & Dreams become Nightmares
Ah, the Surrey Senior Cup, the hostess with the mostest, the bounty of the county, the one true prestigious trophy to have in your cabinet at the end of the season. It is in this competition that I hold dear to my heart that tonight’s game was going to played. For years now I’ve loved and looked after […]
The Reserved Experience
Well, well, well, here we go again, here we go once more! What, no game you say, no bloody game, what’s going on? How will us hardcore non league junkies get our football fix! In recent weeks as you are more than aware our F.A Cup Giant Killing came to an end at Kiddie. Still […]
You Sir are a Failed Fox Murderer
The longest distance to travel to a game this season and everyone is in the Duke’s love mobile. What could possibly go wrong? Well lets start from the beginning, so somehow by the grace of God I’m managed to get the day off for this trip so I could still keep my hopes up for another […]
A Whole Year of Talking Bollocks!
Fuck Really? And to the tune of Pet Shop Boys 1992 hit “Go West” One year, we’re having a fit. One year, we’re still talking shit. One year, and you’ll find us near. One year, on the fuckin’ beer! Well who would’ve thought, one year ago to the day that Gandermonium was resurrected in its current form and begun […]
Coggins was one thing, but Rock is summat else!
Well here we are again and another cup game to witness as we begin our adventures in the FA Trophy. Our opponents were due to be Havant & Waterlooville who were destroyed at Westleigh Park back at the end of September. Today was going to be so different from that fateful trip to the south coast. As […]
Read More… from Coggins was one thing, but Rock is summat else!
No Tresspassing!
I sense a pattern forming here. Last day of last season and I get lumbered with doing the report away to Bath as our regulars Dukey & Juan were all ‘worn out’ from a 9 game run in April. Tonight, we’re again away to Bath and with Dukey driving (and thus being utterly sober) and […]
The Kiddy magical mystery tour
The whole Gandermonium staff were of course all present & correct in Kiddy for the cup tie yesterday, although not all of us were on the chuffer and stumbling into the pub at opening time. Newest member Totts chose to take the supporters coach up as it was cheap and allows normal saturday morning family […]
The Unlucky 13
It’s Sunday morning, and I’ve just woken up! The Mrs wakes up next to me, and tells me that I stink like death. Well I tell her, it must have been that last can of Strongbow that I consumed on the Tube back from Euston. Well where do I Start with this one? I guess […]
