It's only about 4 months since Ebbsfleet were last at GGL in that massive top of the table clash last season. On that day, only a point separated the two sides in the Conference South table. Now, as we stand a week away from the new season kicking off, there's a whole league between us. Still, I'm sure they had a cracking time in Vegas.

The Smell Of Embrocation

"My wife said she fancied a romantic summer evening down by the Thames."  "Hampton Court?"

"You're not kidding, I could barely whip it out quick enough."

Chinese Palm Trees

After finally decontaminating myself after going deep into enemy lines at K’s midweek, it was time for young Robbo to take the reins and return to Gandermonium blog duties!

Special K's

Ah, Kingstonian. Who would've thought, a mere five miles separates the two grounds, but it is two clubs that, for the time being, are going in different directions. As we are about to engage in a 9th season at the top of the non-league pyramid, K's are once again trying to get out of the Isthmian and play, for the first time ever, at Conference South level.

A Shit Akinfenwa?

Normally, the return of the football season wold be a reason to be cheerful. Sadly, if like me you're a self-made jobless twat and have had to sell that pot you were pissing in to cover the mortgage, then it really isn't that great. Especially when your 5 first aways are at new grounds and 4 of those being good piss-up potential. Then it's almost fucking depressing.

A Tale of Two Halfs

Every year we always say the same thing, and every year we never actually go through with it. The old "I'm not going to watch any of the pre-season," line is always banded around at this time of year. But once again we all found our way down to Gander Green Lane for the first pre-season friendly of 2016/17. It seemed liked we'd not left the place and with the Euros on down the club, we in fact hadn't!

Sad All Over

As we're Non-Leaguers, our FA Cup interest usually begins somewhere around September\October time. And frequently ends around then too. But if we're really lucky we might get to stumble through a couple of rounds, pinch a few FA Pounds for the kitty and get our name in the paper. So when the Final rocks round come May, we've usually already got our feet up at home. And if we're feeling really active, we'll go to the pub and watch it.

2015/2016 Season Review - Part 3

So, in Part 2 we were knocked out of the Trophy and then let back in, the boys really started picking up some points in the league and then front runners tantalisingly started dropping some. Which has made things rather exciting for the last part of our season review for a fucking change! Do we get to Wembley? Can we hunt down Ebbsfleet for the title or are we doomed to the misery of the Play Offs again?

Clicky clicky, findy outy!

2015/2016 Season Review - Part 2

In Part 1 after a slow-ish start and a mildly disappointing FA Cup exit, it's all eyes on the League now. Sadly, that's not gone quite as well as we'd hoped so far and the leading teams are already seemingly miles ahead of us. Plus we've already shed our captain. So it's time to pull up our socks and get on with winning some points! Well, once we've got the FA Trophy and dreams of Wembley out of the way that is...

Here's Part 2 with all the details.

2015/2016 Season Review - Part 1

With the season done & dusted and celebratory hangovers to be dealt with, here's the first part of our Annual end of season filler material Season Review. Like most seasons, we don't start particularly quickly. But unlike last season, we do at least improve a bit over the course of the 9 months. Quite a lot in fact. So much so, it all ends happily every after. And then some.

But that's all to come way down the line in Parts 2 & 3. You've got to plough through all the boring stuff before we get to the exciting bit. Think of it like having nothing but Broccoli for starter and main course, with a lovely bit of treacle sponge & custard for dessert.
