We all remember the first ever football match we attended including who it was to see, who was the opposition, the date and who you went with – we’ve all been there. Today I decided it was my nine month old niece, Emily’s first game to be at Sutton United. My own personal first game […]

The One and Only…
The title is quite relevant to I – as in I like the Chesney Hawkes’ song (which many of you readers will be aware as I have put this on the jukebox, often!). But no, it could also mean that I am the one and only fighting “demons” and have been for the last year […]
Isn’t it good, no its BOREham Wood!
The title for this blog is inspired by The Beatles’ “Norwegian Wood” for those who are of an outstanding musical intellect like me! So let’s begin by getting the past events out of the way. It was only a week ago that we had hosted Arsenal, yes that’s Arsenal Football Club in the Fifth Round […]
Stearn Return
As good old Mr AB would say “what a time it is to be a Sutton United fan” how right you are sir! So to recap the week’s events, Tuesday night saw history being witnessed as we knocked out AFC Wimbledon in the replay and even they could not blame the pitch this time. A […]
Scooby Scooby Doo, Where Are You? Are You Lost In The Fog Now…
It’s hard to believe that this time one whole year ago I was at pretty much my lowest point in my life, and I mean seriously low. A bout of taking amitriptyline for migraines brought about a serious side effect of anxiety and depression – I am not afraid to admit it. During the year […]

The Giraffe, the Pelly & Emily
Hello Gandermonium readers and welcome to another blog from Robbo for the home fixture against Maidstone United. For literacy bods you may notice the title of this blog as being one of Roald Dahl’s works and as a child I loved reading his books – Charlie Bucket what a hero! However, as Taz pointed out […]
Dos 500 Dukey 498
Greetings fellow readers, first things first Tuesday was not only another away game loss to Dover Athletic but it was also yours truly’s birthday – some good guesses on how old I really am have been made, some not so good! Although I am sure the world and his wife could clearly see how over […]
The 81p Cash Out
One was going to start my blog by saying a sarcastic “Thank you Mr Ayre for the kind handover” as he forgot to include said formailty in his blog from the game against Wrexham. However, I note that our editor has included the formal handover in an amended document, so thank you sir. I sadly […]
Is This A Dagger I See Before Me?
So at precisely 10:30 on Sunday evening yours truly gets a message on Twitter. That’s @krobbo81 by the way (bit of free advertising never hurt!) – asking for moi to do the entry for the game against Dagenham and Redbridge. No problem says I, despite the late notice. So you dear readers now all get […]
