Another day, another match. This time off to a famous old ground in South West London which was the scene of one of the more memorable FA Cup wins when Sutton United knocked out Coventry City in 1989. Which is incidently the last time a non league club knocked out a team from the top flight in the FA Cup. I hope Crawley don't change this record!
Last night's game was an Isthmian Premier League match with AFC Hornchurch and a good 2nd half performance (after a truly dire 1st half) was rewarded with a 3-0 win that saw Sutton go 8 points clear at the top of the table. The attendance was 481 with about 20 from Hornchurch including this teddy bear waving nutter in a wheelchair decorated with red and white tinsel!
I have to say that Borough Sports Ground or Gander Green Lane is one of the more atmospheric grounds I've been to in a while, complete with the dog track running around the perimeter of a truly massive pitch. I'm pretty sure I'm never ever gonna hear anyone sing "Are you Ebbsfleet in disguise" again.
