New Years resolutions. We’re not sure why people bother to be honest. They always seem to choose something that is either quite vague (Be more adventurous!) or that’s almost certainly going to lead to disappointment and or failure (Eat healthier!). We here at Gandermonium rarely, if ever bother for these reasons alone and that’s before […]

Memory Lane
Bienvenue, Willkommen, Aloha, Mauya, Vitaj and Croeso! Yes, welcome my friends to this brand spanking new year. One which, if many popular news outlets are to be believed is being widely called ‘Two thousand and Eighteen’. It’s a touch unimaginative if you ask us, but as absolutely no one is and as it seems to […]
Early Xmas Present
It’s making a list and checking it twice, Gonna find out who’s naughty and nice. The FA Trophy is comin’ to town! Although it would seem that whilst we’re not quite on the naughty list, we’re probably on the ‘undecided’ one given that we’ve been a home tie with Truro. Sure they’re a division below […]
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 […]
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 […]
Summit’s Up. Again.
Never let it be said that we here at Gandermonium are not a sympathetic, caring bunch. Despite Robbo being in the chair for this one, he’s come down somewhat poorly this week (I’m reliably informed it’s not alcohol related either, so that’s our reputation as non-league pissheads further down the kharzi) so we’ve rallied round, […]
Dirty, Mossy Cobbles
Seven years ago yesterday (Monday), Sutton United FC were getting dumped out of the FA Cup by the less than mighty Alton Towers, with the winner being scored by the bloke who managed the queues on the Nemesis or something. Still, if you’ll pardon the pun, what a ride it’s been since then eh? If […]
A Brief Abdication
August has been a busy old month. 7 games to squeeze in and with a few in the treatment room when the season kicked off it looked like we’d be having a tough time of it. How wrong we were. The lads available dug in, grafted their bollocks off, reattached them, then grafted them off […]
Knock Three (dozen!) Times…
Strange how things pan out innit? Last season we met Macclesfield at much the same point in the season. We’d had an ok start and a decent 2-0 win left us sat in the positively vertigo inducing 3rd place. Optimism was high! Then we went to Chester and had our pants royally pulled down in […]
Lucy in the Sky with Dundo
Last season after the Southport game, we spent a very agreeable hour back in Liverpool having a pint before heading home. With the sights and sounds witnessed that evening convincing us that the land of the Scouse was well worth investigating further. But then we went and got all FA Cuppy meaning the Saturday up […]
