... you are all tooooo kind
.. and my better half seriously worries about my 'obsession' and the effect it may have on our eldest.
Terminal Boardom Indeed. FoC deserves an award of some sort. Either that or a new anorak. Some stunning information has been provided and because of FoC, I am going to find out where Binfield play. How do they get 130+ for home games at that level? I can't get my head round that one.
...
minor warning: - Although Stubbs Lane (Binfield FC) is a real gem (especially the marvellous welcome you'll get from the ol' chap on the gate) - and don't be put off by the names on the backs of the seats - if you need to sit down - there's usually plenty of room - the ground is
very well tucked away if you've not been before.
I often go for Monday night games and invariably find myself slowing to a crawl to find the way in - even in darkness the pitch (& lights) are set down below the level of the road so it isn't easy to spot.
Head towards Bracknell from the Coppid Beech exit of the A329(M) on the B3408.
Take a left turn at the first lights after the John Nike roundabout (Popeswood - used to be Shoulder of Mutton - don't think it is now?) carry on north right through the village on St Marks Rd then Terrace Rd North until you pass the Jack O' Newbury on your left and eventually reach a T junction with Church Lane (B3018).
Turn (carefully - hidden bend) right and about 150 yds on your left as the road swings to the right there is a lane off to the left (maybe signed Hill Farm) - Binfield Fc is down there.

.... and here's this weeks' 'other' local NL sides games for those not at the MadStad-
EDIT - since I'm back on here first - here's the results:-
CONFSBasingstoke Town 0-1 Braintree Town
Maidenhead United 0-2 Havant and W'ville
St Albans City 0-1
WokingWeymouth 1-0 Hampton & R
PROMOTION: Exiles up as Champs hit 100 pts this PM 3-0 v Dover. Play Offs too close/complex to assess but any four fighting it out, from Chelmsford in 2nd down to Staines in 8th.
RELEGATION: W-S-M & Weymuff - down - Worcester down too if they don't win their last game next week H v Eastleigh - even then Lewes who won 5-0 this PM vs Dorchester are two points ahead with two games left H v Bath on Tue A v Beavers next w/e ... some of these below still have a few too many games left for the PO situation to be clear cut.
SOUTHPDidcot Town 0-3 Cambridge City
Farnborough 2-0 Swindon Supermarine
- 'boro champs if Nuneaton don't win tomorrow (Sun) H v Chipp'nem
- Clevedon T & Rugby relegated - two more from Hemel, Merthyr, Bedford or TivertonSOUTH1MMarlow 1-1 Atherstone Town
Slough Town 5-1 Aylesbury United
Sutton Coldfield Town 3-1
Burnham Bury or Hitchin Champs - Burnham in the PO spots with Chesham & Slough - but S.Coldfield are still within reach.
Barton Rovers & Aylesbury Utd down probably to UCLP & SSMP respectively. SOUTH1SW AFC Hayes 0-2 AFC Totton
Cirencester Town 11
{ELEVEN} -1
Bracknell Town Hungerford Town 2-1 Uxbridge
Paulton Rovers 4-6
Thatcham Town Windsor & Eton 2-0 Abingdon United
- Royalists still 2 pts behind 1 game in hand - are at home to their 'lodgers' this Thursday - then A v Bracknell next Sat before finishing off H v VTFC on Monday 26th. AFC Totton are at Abingdon Utd this Tue and finish H v Taunton next Sat.
- Play Offs will probably include Cirencester Town, Bridgwater and VT FC - though Frome have an outside chance of joining in.
- AFC Hayes virtually down with Bracknell who went a few weeks back.ISTH1SFleet Town 6-2 Ashford Town (Kent)
- Fleet are 1 pt adrift of the last of the PO spots (occupied by Leatherhead) but Burgess Hill could overhaul both of them - have 3 games left.
Fleet have 2 games left against other teams currently IN the PO positions - Worthing & Godalming. Title probably going to Croydon Athletic or Folkestone.
Not sure about relegation since it relies upon lower level teams meeting grading reqts - BUT it'll probably be Walton Casuals and Eastbourne Town who drop down.CCLPBookham 3-1
Ash UnitedCove 0-0 Banstead Athletic
Sandhurst Town 0-1 Horley Town
Wembley 0-1
Camberley Town CCL1Eversley 1-1 Warlingham
Farnham Town 3-0 Coulsdon United
Hartley Wintney 1-0 Farleigh Rovers
Worcester Park 7-1
Frimley GreenHELLPAlmondsbury T 1-1
Reading Town - Almonds need only 1 pt from last 4 games for the title.
However still reading strong rumours from the NL Forum, that they WILL NOT be able to g/share at Mangotsfield, so if they ARE evicted from the Gloucs FA HQ - which incorporates their current ground [Oakland Pk] they may have problems taking up their place in the Southern league for 10/11.Ardley Utd 1-2 Shortwood
- Shortwood 3 pts behind RTFC 2 games in handOxford City Nomads 2-2
Binfield- Relegation never very clear cut in this division - this season it DOES look as if the top two in both Division One's would be eligible - so the bottom four could go - always an added complication of geography but I'd guess at Bicester & Hook Norton to Div One East with Malmesbury and Fairford to West - though Marlow Utd or Carterton may get dragged down. Any imbalance is usually sorted out with a sideways transfer - so if for example Hooky are placed in West then someone would move across - though there's no obvious candidates.
Other rumours abound of a few sides dropping back to County Leagues next season to avoid the grading issues. This would require even more Reserve sides stepping up - Thatcham and Hungerford's 2nd strings have been mentioned.
Also some uncertainty regarding who may drop down from above - should be Bracknell Town but they might in theory go into the CCL - which could mean a reprieve for 4th bottom - though I'd have thought Walton Casuals from the Isthmian One South, would be a more obvious candidate for them. HELL1EWokingham & Emmbrook 2-2
Thame United att 135 - Wokkers still 12 pts behind in 2nd but have 5 games left - Thame would need 4 pts from their 3 to be certain of the title and have two tricky away games - though both clubs would probably go up.Woodley Town 1-0 Eton Wick
WESS1East Cowes Vics 3-1
AFC AldermastonTadley Calleva 0-1 Ringwood Town
- in the Wessex Premier; Poole drew 4-4 @ Christchurch and also hit 100 pts with 3 games left
, I look forward very much to his posts.
