A healthy Lifer contingent in a crowd of 1,255 saw Welling take control throughout and roll out 3-1 winners. MoM was the Bromley No5 who had a shocker, took dogs abuse, but kept smiling throughout.
A smaller lifer contingent carried on the celebrations in the pub after, and the dregs of the Lifer contingent got frustrated when the pub closed at half past silly o clock.
All in all a good day at football, and a small reminder of what it was like when a team won a game !
Heh, I would have popped into the pub after to join you but I was frozen solid on that terrace! Was a good game, Welling are looking like a tidy team at the mo. Lots of good terrace banter too - ah, remember when football was fun?
Brass monkeys, but a really enjoyable afternoon. I thought Welling looked useful, although Bromley never got going. As AFKA said the Bromley no 5 had a 'mare. I also liked the way the Bromley keeper got stacks of abuse but at the end of the game he clapped the Welling fans and they clapped him - football as it should be..........
In all seriousness there are some similarities between him and his old man.
His 2nd and Wellings 3rd was a cracking strike. One touch and in the top corner. I'm pretty sure he learnt how to snatch the ball from a team mate when you want to take a penalty from his old man as well.
As has previously been said on this thread, the bloke marking him had the biggest of 'mares, he did seem to think it was all a good laugh though!.
Sheringham will probably work his way back up through the leagues. He'll get a Conference club sooner rather than later. Not sure how old he is, but he looks a bit light-weight at the moment.
Also must mention the Bromley goalkeeper - he looked like a cross between Raimond Van Der Gouw's love child and Spawny Get from Viz. Took a lot of abuse but was big enough to clap the Wings fans at the end.
Not sure if there are any Bromley fans on here, but I think they have a very long second half of the season ahead.
Warmed my heart to see Mark Goldberg resplendent in his Club Tracksuit, standing infront of the away dugout in the old main stand looking as clueless as ever.
Having queued for ten minutes, i was then told they were out of burgers and i would have to wait another ten mins while the frozen ones thawed out.
frozen burgers or frozen punters?
It was interesting keeping an ear out for the conversations around me. A couple of fellas behind me were either scouts or agents or something, chatting away about various players and how they know Shaun Wright-Phillips' mum in Lewisham; one then stopped one of the Bromley subs and started asking him where he played and who he'd played for before (striker, had been on our books and West Ham, light-skinned black guy) and how his mum was (!). I'm sure I'd come across one of them before, in a sports shop in Kentish Town, chatting away about Welling and other London non-league sides. It's such a soppy cliche to say it, but it was refreshing to see that kind of business going on out in the open, as well as hearing the Welling keeper eff and jeff at his defence and the linesman get every bit of stick imaginable!

Why so close together?
In 5 years time you'll be writing, "There again he is very much a rare breed - a Charlton season ticket holder."
;o)
sadly too true Oggy
See you in the Guy

Football - winning - fun ?
3 words that shouldn't/couldn't appear together.
Not once did he say "what time we going?", unlike down The Valley . . . :o(
Bromley brought a good support. More than we took to Sheff Utd??
My son tells me that Sherringham Junior now has 16 goals to his name this season. As we need another paceless forward might I suggest...........

I do hope that there have been no side effects today from the experience.
He was dressed like a down and out!
Sheringhams 3rd goal was one of the best I've seen down there.
He doesn't have the pace or strength to go higher than Comference level but does have an excellent touch and awareness like his old man.
Welling have some good young players down there and it was worth the visit.

I had a bacon and processed cheese roll instead. 3/10
