Easier for travel from Barrow too. Boreham Wood and Whitehawk are both long journeys, but North London is a lot easier than Brighton.

Boreham Wood so be it, only fair on the London crew after all the travelling, finally a home fixture! Home of Arsenal Ladies by all accounts.

Chorley not good losers bricks thrown at a supporters bus by all accounts!

Really wanted Chorley ahead of Guiseley.

No preference between Whitehawk and Borehamwood.

Chartered aeroplane from Walney to Elstree, perhaps? :)

About a 20 minute walk for me! :D

Made the long trek there to see this afternoon's game. Not the greatest spectacle of free-flowing football - in fact it felt like your average Barrow game. There were a few vaguely familiar names in the Whitehawk team: John-Paul Kissock and Sergio Torres in particular.

Forgot all about him, from nearly Barrow to Southport to Luton to Whitehawk.......somewhere in Luxembourg next!
We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

Nothing special about him. Fancy turn then sideways ball.

Noticed Southport went on a real run after he left them.

Would have preferred fellow Lancastrians Chorley to go up, rather than the Guiseley tykes. Consolation is that there's a decent chippy near the ground. Downside is that, as already mentioned, it could be a Tuesday evening.

One thing Guiseley will need to think about is facilities for away fans when segregation is in place. Going outside the ground at half time for a pee against the fence isn't really good enough.
Better beer in Guiseley John!

Remember the Macclesfield announcer shouting "THE NON-LEAGUE MESSI, JOHN...PAUL...KISSOCK!" after he scored against us. More like Messi's talentless Scouse cousin.

Still scored past us though.

Decent player, better than 95% of what we've had in event years.

Love peoples hate on certain players for no reason.

Looks like there was a big attendance - maybe 3,000 +? Surprised by Guiseley's away support! In the same end as when we visited...
