Hi Son of Steptoe, where Tooting finish in this totally appalling league is totally irrelevant. Even the second div of the isthmian league is just as poor. The future is not bright due to  the way  the Football Club is set up. 

The bit that’s grabbed my attention is how our mates from SE22 are on the edge of the drop zone, especially as Hendon got a last minute point.  Even more interesting is the top of that league:

Dartford - 57
Billericay - 57
Dover - 56
Horsham - 56
Cray Valley - 56

Talk about close!

Good comment BernieTheBolt, what Toots would give to be in that division mix !!! Guess I am dreaming again!!!

Thanks Mr. Steptoe, I can’t recall seeing a league with anything so close up the top, pretty much any of those teams could win it.  Proper nail biting stuff for fans of those…..

This year is a foregone conclusion for us but looking elsewhere there’s the scope for south London derbys for future seasons, I’ll be the one in the park behind the ground setting off display standard fireworks when we get one in, got to do the waiting game before the chance of this comes up though….

Hi Bernie, there are plenty of local derbies in the Wimbledon and District League for Park Football, including Rosslyn Park Football Club! This should please Atkins who is an avid rugby fan, and in his own words played for  "Rosslyn Park Rugby billions of years ago in his youth"! 

 

Mike me old mate you’ve done a blinder there, I think you’ve set the scene up for some nice days out, I could imagine going down there with a few tinnies, a hedgerow which would be preferable to a fully working gents lav and the same atmosphere (by myself), probably a better game of football too.

This is where we’re at, come on!  THIS IS THE COMBINED COUUUUUNTIIIESSSSSS!!!!!!

A winning result last night. Are the “Play offs” still a possibility”?

Fleet Town will probably finish 5th with Tadley fighting for that position as well. 
The win last night was against a very poor Chipstead who are fighting relegation in this very poor grassroots league! 90 spectators attended for what is a local Derby!

Fortunately With the team Tooting have,  they will not be outplayed and humiliated if ever they get promoted!
