  • When I was born Elliscombe mount, then moved to Coxmount road, but used to live with my grandparents, most weekends in Tallis Grove, then from the age of  8-21 Springfield Grove. Then moved into a few flats, when married around Blackheath as a student. Moved to Bexley village, for 40 odd years.
    Then where we are Hythe, been trying to move back last three years, to be with the grandkids, do not attend night games or away games, and sadly fewer home games, which have diminished over the past 3 years.
    Hopefully, I will attend some home games with my grandkids in the near future.

  • Back in the early to mid-80s, I used to live with my mum and dad in Valiant House, the tower block behind the Jimmy Seed Stand. Even in the Premier League glory days, I could leave the flat at 2:45 and be in the East Stand before kick off.

    I’m now over in Katrien Meire’s hotbed of Charlton support, south west London, in Strawberry Hill, Twickenham. It’s not a bad run into Waterloo and then a stop off in Deptford, Greenwich or The River Ale House for a pre-match noggin.
