Mad Birds and Cornishmen

I wondered if the Fry's was part of the chocolate Fry's.

Please tell me the Fry's team play in navy and white like the chocolate bar

Nope, yellow shirts with a blue trim and reverse colours for the shorts, I'm afraid.

But I was at a game last night where the opposition did play in navy and white ....

The ground's Shaftesbury, and this superb 19m goal in the video meant that I had at long last completed 100 consecutive games without a goal-less draw. Please excuse Ossie whilst the bird has a quick preen of the feathers!

And looking on Fry Club's social media, I found this pic taken before the start of the game at Frome:

It gives you a flavour of the (somewhat parched) ground!

I used to love those 5 Centre chocolate bars Frys produced, the ones with the different flavoured fillings .......

Oh they were the best, Ossie!

Gosh, I'd forgotten them! Yes, they were nice.

That ground looks like our lawn, but without a desperate tortoise trying to find something to eat

No problem with dry pitches around here, waterlogged may be the problem though!

I’m on standby to go non-league on Saturday. Joe was going to Hednesford with his friend but he’s since got tickets for Villa away at Bournemouth so I said if he couldn’t find anyone else to go with I’d go (my 89 year old Dad, who used to go home and away with Hednesford, was asked several times).
£12 admission though £12!!!

Then Sunday the Premier League season starts for us, home to Brighton at 2pm so we’ll be off up the M6 late morning. We’ve not got a Saturday home game at all before the flippin’ break for the flippin’ World Cup

I hope your tortoise fares better than poor old Clyde .....

Jo, I hope Hednesford give you a decent game on Saturday if you go, last season they turned in some shockers.
But they have just signed the ex-captain of Sunderland's U-23 side though (Sam Wilding - defensive midfielder).

£12 for Step 3? Is that £10 admission + £2 car parking, Jo? Nearest Step 3 equivalent to here is Dorchester Town, and that's £11 before parking.


EDIT - I see the opposition is Redditch United. You might want to consider taking the afternoon off ....

[cromwell]

Fry's five centres, that's what they were called.

[JoM]

Ossie, I’ve just looked and it’s £12 admission for adults (£9 concessions) plus £3 parking.
If I go I’m bound to get stung for a hotdog too.

Crommers, I remember those!

[TheOstrich]

Crommers, Google research tells me they were: orange, lemon, lime, strawberry and raspberry

I'll have the strawberry ....

£3 parking - the new rip-off, Jo Incidentally, that's what Yeovil Town charge .....
