Non League football:

[bunter]

A mate of mine is a big Wrexham fan so i often go to games with him when they are away in the south east. Amazing the amount of ex league teams in the conference!

[CottagersOnTour]

I live in Ash Vale which is 5 minutes from Aldershot, so I do go and watch Aldershot Town occasionally.

Woking Fan here.... My parents are originally from over that way.

Was back home over Christmas, we played Aldershot twice in the space of 10 days and won both derbies, home and away :)

Interestingly our manager (Garry Hill) is the third longest serving manager in the top 5 leagues (after Wenger and Tisdale).

We have also recently had on the books a load of ex-Fulham players:

Charles Banya, Alex Smith (ex-youth player, just signed this Jan), Elvis Hammond, Kevin Betsy (now a coach of Fulham U12-16's following retirement last season),  and Clive Walker to name but a few!

Oh and we sold Harry Arter to B'mouth for 4k and a packet of crisps a couple of years back...!

Woking my home town and Fulham (at the time, early sixties) the nearest 1st Division team to home........when over in England I visit Fulham &/or Woking....

I went to both derbies, great fun (apart from the results). Those two sets of fans HATE eachother, created a terrific atmosphere

Hampton & Richmond... LB's second love :)

Although I haven't been for a couple of seasons, which is a shame as they are flying high at the moment.

Could you see your way clear to not coming to Fulham for a bit?

I'll be at Aldershot Town v Tranmere Rovers on Saturday; sixth time I'll have seen Aldershot (my nearest team) this season. Non-league football at this level (Conference National) offers less entertainment than the Championship but at a similar price!

I went to Colwyn Bay in the Northern Premier League earlier this season. Its all football, until you drop a few levels down, then its no real difference to blokes in a park.

Hitchin Town when I can. Obviously Fulham games get in the way but they also play a lot of games on a Monday evening and the kids sporting commitments come first there.

They've got a young full back who is interesting WBA, Palace, and a fair few other clubs at the minute.

Many years ago i followed Wealdstone and was lucky enough to see Stuart Pearce playing for them. It was obvious that he would make it big and he was duly snapped up by Coventry City.... the rest is history.

Was Paul Bowgett playing then?

[bobbo]

I'm involved with AFC Hayes formerly " brook house " played for them and founder member but alas they are now in combined counties league having dropped from southern league last season. We had a youngster with us for about a year a certain Charlie Goode who was booted out of Fulham age 16 he went from us to Hendon 13 month as ago and is now playing for Scunthorpe. No big shakes I know but there are little success stories like this all over the place.

Maidstone Utd for me, who have produced a few players to go on to league football over the years

[LBNo11]

...a regular Non League fan, watching my team Hampton & Richmond Borough FC, as well as visiting various other  local NL teams like Molesey FC, Corinthian Casuals, even Kingstonian, and other clubs.

Non League football for me is the perfect antidote for the commercialism and disconnect with the fans that has become synonymous with modern sanitised league football.

The football is just as skilful, honest (no rolling over and over in cheating mock agony when a flea farts too close to a player) entertaining, ( the players can do all the same step overs and Cruyff turns just like their highly paid colleagues in league football), it is cheap, usually the same cost to sit in a stand or on the terraces, and if you are a smoker or a drinker (I'm neither mind) you can do so on the terraces (except for FA cup matches), and you can choose who you stand or sit next to, and there is a community spirit. Apart from that they really do need fans money to survive.

Frankly these days I prefer NL football...

It's worse than Fulham v QPR thats for sure!

Our freekick specialist who is a youth academy player, has dodgy knees so never signed for a league club!

Some cracking goals on there.... There is certainly quality in the conference, WFC play some lovely pass and move attacking football on the floor.

Also cant complain about the free highlights WFC upload week on week, along with goal on the month/season compilations  :58:

Much preferred watching them over Fulham last year....

ah, the Canaries ... but we've stood and talked like this before, haven't we.

I pop down to Hanworth Villa in the Combined Counties Premier League when not at Fulham. I played and managed them in an earlier life. Good grass roots football with often terrible referees and assistants. As many have said these smaller clubs need my money more than most.
