Hamdon Mart Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 Hi all, Just a quick message to say we are offering half price admission for our match v Clevedon Town on Saturday 13th October to anyone who's a season ticket holder of City, Rovers or Yeovil. Who's we/our? Hengrove Athletic, just off the A37 at Whitchurch. Next door to Whitehall Garden Centre if you know it..... back in 2016, we hosted the Bristol City Community Trust game in front of 1,700 spectators. Whacked us 7-0 but the day itself was the most important thing with a few thousand pounds raised for both the Community Trust and ourselves. Two years on, we now play in the Western League Premier Division, the highest level we've ever reached. Finished 9th last season, the best ever. Most of our players are City fans; one works down there, another's Mum works there etc but they all have one thing in common, they don't get paid. Not unique in local football but there's very few that don't pay even expenses. They're a great bunch of lads playing with their mates and that's it really. Hard work from the small committee meant we secured some new sponsorship this summer including a re-naming of the ground from Norton Lane to Paprika Park. Big thanks to the guys from Paprika, Gilda Parade in Whitchurch. Admission to City STH's will be £3 adults, £1.50 concessions and free for under-16's. If it looks like it might pour down, we have two covered stands and a covered terrace. A warm, friendly clubhouse plus enough car parking to cope with all 20k of you coming up to visit.* Look forward to seeing many of you up at Paprika Park on the 13th, Saturday week. * - as long as some of you car share.

JBFC II Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 Great initiative and hopefully lots of city/yeovil and gasheads will go. I'll be at the rugby but non league is great, I'm off to Slough to see manor farm on Saturday and I'd recommend anyone to give it a go, whether it's BMF, Hengrove or any side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 “.....we have two covered stands and a covered terrace...” For goodness sake, don’t publicise things like that. Rovers will move in and we all know what that will lead to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesBCFC Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 I'll be at Manor Farm on the 13th, but would encourage people to go to any non-league side that weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erithacus Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 Also worth pointing out that this weekend is officially Groundhopper Weekend, so if you fancy a little more local footy then this is your opportunity. Games at all different times from Friday night to Sunday afternoon. I note The 'Grove are away to Cribbs at 7.45pm Saturday, so good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 I was hoping that Rovers were going to offer this when they were down there! They were away though on “non-league day” so I did something just as much fun and went to drown some kittens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thanks for the good wishes. Groundhop Weekend will see seven Western League games in three days at Brislington (Friday); Longwell Green, Clevedon, Hallen and Cribbs (Saturday) and Bridgwater & Bristol Telephones (Sunday). We are the away club this year as we hosted a match last year v Hallen on the same slot as we have this year, 7.45pm on the Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfcshorey Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 With Non-League Day this Saturday, and City not playing. My home-town side are offering discounted entry (£3 including a programme) to City season ticket holders (and the Blue Few/Forest Green) Might be of interest to those in North Bristol. We will go 3rd or 4th with a win, we're doing very well in our first season in the Hellenic League, only losing our opening game in the league. Play good fast attacking football which Malmesbury struggled to cope with last Saturday. We've recently also beat Longlevens in the league above in the GFA cup.

Never to the dark side Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 What's not going to help the non league is the fact that the 1st and 2nd clubs are allowed to watch their games via the club streaming service. Not to be confused with the red button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamdon Mart Posted October 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 Well we've got the extra programmes on order, there's enough beer in the fridge and the welcome is warming up nicely and should be at peak levels come around 2pm on Saturday, an hour before kickoff. What I said about if it rains?Meant to hoof it down tomorrow all day and on Saturday but as I rather prophetically mentioned in the OP, we have enough cover for around 150 people or so plus a clubhouse with views across the pitch. Would be great to see you there if possible. If you're from North Bristol locale, then I can recommend a trip to Thornbury Town who have done a shed load of work to their ground and are doing very nicely thank you in the Hellenic this season.

Lanterne Rouge Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Will much non-league stuff go ahead today with the weather? It`s been blowing a hoolie and chucking it down here in Devon since yesterday morning. I hope too much isn`t affected with the effort that gets put in.

JamesBCFC Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Manor Farm 1-0 up at HT. Paulton have looked decent, but the Devon duo (Stamp and Howe) combined again to give Farm the lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe we lost that game, even when down to 10 men and with the right winger taking over in goal, and playing into the strong wind it was still Paulton creating all of the chances. Farm keeper named man of the match and quite rightly so. If you don't take your chances you don't get a result. Very enjoyable game in difficult conditions.

Both sides had plenty of chances, could easily have been 3-3 at HT. A defeat was definitely hard on Paulton, if they play like that each week they'll be near the top of the league. Just need to be ,ore clinical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dammit I miss matches like that. Well done Farm for getting over the midweek disappointment and good luck Rovers (Paulton) for the rest of the season. Come on you Romans!!!

MattWSM Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Went to a cup match Worle vs Winscombe who are in the Somerset county league (next one below Western League Toolstation). Worle are in the Premier league (level 11) Winscombe in Divsion 1 (level 12) Good entertaining game. Anyone else go to a game at a level lower than this? In the Weston district area you can go down to level 18 ,think in Bristol there are more levels down to 22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of their players received a nasty injury and the ambulance had to come. Game didn’t officially finish until 17:20 ish! Fair play to New College Swindon who agreed to stand on the pitch for an extra five mins to prevent it having to be replayed. Thornbury into 3rd and could potentially go up this season...
