Last night's groundhopping was a toss up between Harrow Borough V Wealdstone, Carshalton V Cray Wanderers or Maidenhead United V Havant and Waterlooville. I ended up choosing the short 25 minute trip from Ealing to Maidenhead's York Road. The claim to fame of York Road is that it's the oldest continuously used football stadium in the world.
To be fair, most fixtures and fittings seem to back this claim up. I was one of 116 poor souls who were subjected to 90 minutes of awful football in a cold and gusty old football ground where the atmosphere only sparked into life when numerous Inter City 125s whooshed past, rattling the rickety old grandstand as they did. The home Ultras only stirred themselves into song when striker Kieron St Amie came on with the game lost. Fair play to the Maidenhead fans for rhyming his name with the BeeGees "Night Fever" song though. Young Kieron was released today by manager Johnson Hippolyte.
Ex-Gull right back Paul Hinshelwood played a full ninety minutes for Havant and Waterlooville.
