Forgotten to post in the last few weeks. Some photos from my trips to watch Southend United ladies (Garon park) & a very enjoyable trip to see Clapton Community FC at the old spotted dog ground. Amazing welcoming club, brilliant ground for the 10th tier!

First game of 2025/26 season yesterday. Pre season friendly between Maldon & Tiptree (8th Tier) and Colchester United (4th tier) at Park Drive. Lots of change since I last visited, before the recent takeover, not convinced by all the changes feels like the club has lost its culture #groundhopping

Amazing game today at Billericay Town who won 4-2 against Chushunt in the isthmian league premier. Although it was not enough due to Horsham winning their game 5-1 Billiericay missed out on the title (and automatic promotion) by goal different (one goal!!). #groundhopping #groundhopper #nonleague
