Dicot Town v Waders 1 – 0 – Waders Green Army Blog by WaderBird

27th August 2022

MoM – Timmy Smith!

Paddington is a Wader – this is just after DJ barged 2 young children out of the way 👀

Attendance – 166

Ground Rating – 7/10

We turned out mob handed for our 1st proper away day of the season… 🤥

When I say mob handed, this is the GreenArmy I’m talking about 🤣 Bunnyman, DJ, BigAl and me took advantage of a group save on the train and set off at 11.30 – Mine and BigAl’s 1st proper rail journey since before lockdown – he was so excited (if you know him, you know this is completely true and a few numbers were taken…🙄)

Oh and he might of had a little wee about using the new Elizabeth line 🤣🤣🤭

The ground was easy to get to from the station and the drink etc reasonably priced. A couple of screens in the clubhouse, a fruit machine and Bunnyman spotted the dartboard…

Good service at the bar – even at half time👍

The locals were all friendly 😁

Out for the 1st half the pitch was seriously dry – I’m guessing they were probably on a hosepipe ban – although BigAl did spot a firemans hose – no, really he did… in fact he gave us the detailed specs of it – so detailed in fact I immediately deleted from my memory…

It also soon became apparent why BigAl was so keen to visit this ground, home of the ‘The railwaymen’ – Yep we were right on the trainline and were treated to a steam train passing several times during the match…

JT’s Waders on Tour flag got an airing today

Not a good day at the office today – we lacked any real threat going forward and created only a handful of chances..

Only got a pic of the chips – DJ made short work of the burger…

DJ also need to work on his selfie poses…

I has to be said it is a big thanks to our no.1 Timmy Smith that the score line wasn’t more embarrassing – he had an outstanding game and 2 of the saves he made in the 1st half were world class!
