Fakenham Town v FC Clacton

Download this episode (32 min)
Another sunny afternoon, yet another new ground for me. You'd think I'd been everywhere but we still come up with these new grounds. Anyway, today we met up with Spongebob from the forum and had a lovely chat with Peter Wright, Vice Chairman at Fakenham. Fakenham have a beautiful ground and a lovely setup but with one or two problems of the pitch they are currently struggling to get a decent team together, still the team gave their all and I don't think any more could have been asked of them when we visited. Some lovely people that I'm sure will get the team to where the ground dictates they should be very soon.

Tiptree United v Sawbridgeworth Town

Download this episode (33 min)
The mystery can now be revealed. As Smurf was enjoying himself at a music concert, I went to Tiptree today and met up with Jack Pridmore, or JP to anyone that reads the ECL or ESL forums. Jack had kindly offered his services as guest interviewer. We had a good afternoon chatting about the football we watched though that was poorer than our expectations. We met Tiptree United secretary John Wiseby and you can listen to the results of that interview as well as an interview with the new Tiptree United assistant manager, Richard Carter. Once again the weather was kind and it didn't rain, though at times it looked as if we would get drenched. All in all another excellent day out at another Ridgeons League ground.

Swaffham Town v Lowestoft Town

Download this episode (46 min)
I think this weeks theme music says it all really, sadly we didn't get to chat to anyone from Swaffham Town but we met Yellow Army and Chubbieltfc from the Eastern Counties Football Forum and had a rather interesting chat with Lowestoft Town chairman, Gary Bennet.
There is quite a bit of small talk this week with no mention of how good the lager was though Smurf did test it rigorously and we both enjoyed our burgers with Baby Smurf commenting on how good the hotdogs were in the background.
Another enjoyable day at a ground neither of us had been to before along with a resounding 5-0 win to Lowestoft Town

Kirkley & Pakefield v Witham Town

Download this episode (32 min)
We visited Walmer Road today and watched an interesting game that ended in a stalemate though either team could have scored a couple of good goals but some excellent keeping by all keepers kept it 0-0. This week we have another set of interesting interviews from both teams plus one from a more than impartial supporter. As always our thanks to everyone for letting us interview them and my deepest apologies to Dave, K&P Secretary as his interview seems to have been deleted at some point, we'll just have to grab him at another game and embarras him all over again.
