my second team (self.footy)
submitted 1 year ago by andyc to c/footy

I lied. I do have a second team. However, as Rich alluded to - my second team is a non-league team.

Kingstonian FC play in the Isthmian Premier division. This is the 7th tier of the English football league structure.

The reason I don't really class them as a 'second team' is that Kingstonian and MUFC are so far apart that the prospect of them ever meeting let alone competing for the same trophy is infinitesimal.

MUFC get crowds of 75,000 whereas Kingstonian get crowds of 250.

What I like about non league is:

  • real life football
  • ability to enjoy a pint while watching the game
  • watch the coaches issuing (screaming) instructions
  • no need to book or be a member. Just rock up.
  • park for free close to ground.
  • Originally I could walk when Kingstonian played at Kingsmeadow !
  • Cheaper £10 versus £35-40

Indeed. Nostalgia just isn't what it used to be :-)
