Non league awards 2008-09

I have been to a few non league grounds this season so here are my awards for various things that are important to us followers of football.

Best club house

Hucknall rolls royce leisure. very nice large club a few big screens around, nice darts oche and the beer was nice and not to expensive. it is sad that Rolls are leaving the central midlands league next season as it is a hell of a lot better than some of the teams that are in the league this season.the club officials were very good and helpful as well.

Best food

This is hard. i do like Retford uniteds pie chips and pies.but thats because they are puka pies.shirebrooks burgers were a bargin at only £1.40. Lincoln uniteds food is always nice But just pipping them would have to be the burgers at Worksop towns temporary home at Hucknall town. wherever they end up next season i hope they take the burger van with them.

Rip off of the season.

three things share this award

1) The robbing twats on the groundhop who charged a quid to park the car at bullwell and kirkby town. the clubs already made a packet out of the day, why go and penny pinch that little bit more.and they gave us a crap parking place at bullwell.

2) Hucknall town social club. £2.71 for a pint of fosters! enough said really.in the center of Nottingham mayby, the dump that is Hucknall then no!

3) clipstone fc. paid twice to see them play ollerton, the match wasn't finished twice, and still we had to pay the second time. and we would have had to pay a third time if we went to the 3rd attempt to play the game.

worse side seen.

over the four games i have seen them i would have to say Gainsbrough trinity take this award.

Best side seen.

Winterton played shirebrook town of the park it a one sided game so i will go for them . other shouts go to Retford united in the notts cup final and fleetwood town at gainsbrough.

Best game

Gainsbrough 3-4 fleetwood town.

The what the fuck am i doing here award.

watch clipstone v ollerton the second time round getting piss wet through thankfully it was called off at halftime.

Worse game.

Arnold v pickering was pretty crap.

Worse ground.

Again a joint award here. Bullwells ground was very poor,thankfully it didnt rain as there is no cover. also the ground was done up for the groundhop which makes you think what it was like before. Also for all the money they spent on it and for all the fanfare and build up they gave it Arnold towns ground was a big let down and the pitch was dreadful at best. nice programme though. And i got a team sheet.

Best ground.

i quite liked shirebrook towns. dont know why just did.

Twat of the season.

either the bloke who was moaning about the fact that ollerton v clipstone was being played 1st time round because of the cold or the 15/16 year old kid at Arnold town who ran up and down the pitch swearing at the ref all game and genrally made a dick of himself for 90 mins. made retfords 4-0 notts cup semi final win all the more better!!!

wags of the season

hmmm i will have to think about this for a while.....
