Hello Matt,
Glad we’re your fave ground!!
Did you see the community garden, just at the end of the Wall of Scarves? It was started by midfielder Bradley Pritchard and we supply food banks and volunteers and…Player of the Match!
Also, we’re famous for resourcing our women’s team equally to the men’s, and it’s cos of our work in women’s football that we have that state of the art pitch 🤗♥️🖤
Come back soon! #EqualityFC #FansOfChange
Thanks Karen, I know as a club you are more than just a football team and serve the wider community 👍🏻 I did some research on your club prior to me attending and you appear to be trend setters for the better 👍🏻 Maybe fan owned clubs is the way to go for every club 👍🏻⚽️
A football channel and a geography channel. What more can a subscriber ask for? Apart from cheaper Mars bars. Another top video Matt.
Thanks Arthur, cheaper Mars and Coke is always welcome however we don’t want to promote diabetes in the population!
@@mattthegroundhopper9242 Moderation is the key.
Great video Matt. Good to see Chris Whelpdale still plying his trade at his age in the Istmian keague. You never know in football mate, you might be at the Priestfield in a couple of weeks should we win at Mansfield next saturday, watching the Gills do the impossible lol
Thanks Berlin Dave, if we win at Mansfield and all the results go our way including all of the games in hand with the other teams and it is a straight shoot out between us and Doncaster for 7th then yes I will be at Preistfield 👍🏻👍🏻
Matt: great that you came to visit us today - and so glad you enjoyed it. Football was pretty DIRE today: but we still managed 905 coming to watch what was, as you say, a bit of a "dead rubber". A bit more info on the pitch, which as you say is in pretty remarkable nick. A couple of years ago, the FA (wanting to make sure that the women's team, playing at a high level, had a good surface to play on) gave us a £750k hybrid pitch, which has been AMAZING!
Anyway, as I say, so pleased you enjoyed your visit: my wife Emily probably met you at the door, and I was on the PA: so it's very much a club which our family love very much...!
The PA system had a bit of a fit just before the half time interval, so I couldn't announce the subs (or the winning raffle numbers - shock!).
Hope to see you again soon.
Thanks Nicholas, yes I do remember the faulty PA system and you announcing the subs and the winning raffle all in one go 👍🏻 the pitch was spotless and it was a good day out, I will be back 👍🏻⚽️
Afc telford utd was top ground non league for long time maybe not now but defo top 5😊
Telford were a top conference league club for years 👍🏻⚽️
Like I say top 3 defo easily league ground
What a nice little ground.
Well worth a visit Brian 👍🏻⚽️
Sorry David ….. typo error 👍🏻
Thought you'd be at the big game today; Ramsgate v Cray Valley PM promotion decider. 2,500 and Ramsgate claimed a 2-2 draw from 2-0 down with 10 minutes to play. Could be a vital point.
Thanks Phil, it was a flip of a coin between the 2 but I was at Ramsgate approximately 4 weeks ago, it’s gonna be tight, down to the last game of the season 👍🏻⚽️
Glad you enjoyed the Dripping Pan. Next time you pop down, come and speak to us volunteers, we can give you some more information about the ground, etc.
Our goalkeeper is on loan from Gillingham
Thanks Barry, next time I come down I will reach out to the club, yes of course your GK is a Gills player and who got man of the match 👍🏻⚽️
Been waiting for you to come to chesterfield
I was planning to go there a few weeks ago but I was off ill, looks like I will have to wait until next season in the EFL, maybe Chesterfield v Gills 👍🏻⚽️
Very nice ground they have.
Thanks Arthur, it is well worth a visit 👍🏻⚽️
Good day out by the looks….reminds of the Bath rugby club ground which is low down.
Loved ur analysis of the food 😂
Great stuff Matt…keep em coming .
Thanks Jeremy, Bath is a ground i definitely want to visit, appreciate your comments 👍🏻⚽️
wish i knew you were coming to lewes today yes you must come again
Sorry Clive, I did post it on twitter before the game and I know you have asked a few times when I will be down, I will revisit Lewes 👍🏻⚽️
You picked a good day for it 🤩
Thanks Tom, sun, blue skies, pie, gravy, goals, cheap mars bar, what more could a ground hopper want 👍🏻👍🏻
@@mattthegroundhopper9242 It was voted the best stadium for away fans to visit for a reason! Glad you enjoyed it too. A part of me does wonder how nice it would be on a wet Tuesday night though
@@the_footballtouristas a Lewes fan, it’s not bad if you’re stood under the home terrace, but that small away end is brutal in the rain
@@h_lock6423 when I went I stood on the side of the pitch by the wall and it was great but I imagine the same applies for that area. Still for the level two sizeable sheltered stands is pretty decent
Alfreton town nice ground take beers in ground
I’ll have to look them up 👍🏻⚽️
Just along the coast a bit is my local club Havant and Waterlooville. Its a very tidy ground and most away fans say that they have enjoyed there visit. Please try to check it out next season if you can as your reviews are very good.
Thanks Mark, I know of the ground, I may try and get there next season 👍🏻⚽️
Roffey fc ground is my favourite non League ground.😮
They are home next weekend if you want to go there and see their trophy Lift.😅
Lewes fc ground is one i have not been to.
i heard this is very close reasonably to train station which is nice.
Well done on editing and uploading this same day by eleven.
The weather today was nice😊
Unfortunately Dartford fc ended up being relegated.💁♀️
As you did make a video on this team recently.
Thanks Balham, the station to the ground is approximately a 1 minute walk, worth a visit 👍🏻 yes Dartfords luck has run out ⬇️
@@mattthegroundhopper9242 you’re welcome
Okay, it’s very close to station 😅
I think a ground that is called "The Dripping Pan" is unique enough.
I know, it is a mad name but is very memorable 👍🏻⚽️
Nice non league ground and was that the sun i saw😅 UTG from Brian down under.
Thanks Perth Brian, I had to google that yellow thing in the sky ☀️👍🏻
Yay up the NIX Wellington Phoenix
Who left that scarf there? 🇳🇿👍🏻⬆️
@@mattthegroundhopper9242 I dropped it off last December, although next season I will bring a new one as this has the old crest on the scarf. I was super excited you were filming right by it and also the Women's WC scarf was just to the right. Thanks for the video & I personally think Lewes FC and the Pan is the best game day experience.
Have you visited us at Perth Glory as
As we got appriation for the nix because of the distance travelled .I was so glad you didn't leave the A league afew years ago.
@@brianrichardson5871 I lived in Perth for 4 years and went to most of their home games with friends - also an fantastic game day experience - not as good as Lewes though for me.
Wellington Phoenix scarf from the A-League in Australia. We have a New Zealand club in our league and are about to have Auckland enter next season I think.
How is the NZ league responding losing these teams, is it still running?
@@mattthegroundhopper9242 there is no pro league in NZ hence why the Wellington Phoenix (soon to be an Auckland FC) play in the Aussie league. To add to the Aussie is in the Asian Confederation and NZ in Oceania Confederation.
I dropped the scarf off in December 💛🖤❤🖤
Are you going to Chatham for the playoffs?
Yes i am hoping to go to the SF, the final and witness promotion ⬆️👍🏻⚽️
If those seats were from the corporate area of Wembley they'll only have been sat on for about ten minutes per game there.
Haha, very good and very true 👍🏻⚽️
Hello Matt, hope all is well. Your videos recently have only allowed me to watch them in 480p. Is it possible to get the videos in 720p or even 1080p?
Hello z1, the videos are uploaded in HD in 1080, not too sure why the quality is not the same, I will keep an eye on my next upload, thanks for letting me know 👍🏻⚽️
