To all those going to Jersey, may I wish you all a safe and trouble free trip. Plus, please preserve the good name of the team what is left of it, and enjoy the game.
Mikem, you would've been proud of us. We endeared ourselves to the locals by joining the Jersey Ultras in their favourite boozer The Robin Hood before the game and had an hour of good natured banter and singing. To a man they shook our hands and congratulated us on our hard earned and impressive victory as we celebrated with our players and staff. We played our role as ambassadors of Tooting & Mitcham United FC in a manner we can all be very proud of, Their supporters liason officer Aidie told me a lot of their fans were badgering him to organise one of their away trips (of which they have 4 or 5 a season) to Imperial Fields, A special mention to young Anthony Harrold who the Jersey boys loved, they were singing "Anthony, he's one of our own" outside the pub at one point.
The atmosphere outside the club bar after the game was incredible, it's all over social media if you want to have a look. There were only about a dozen of us but due to the acoustics with it being surrounded by relatively high buildings and some of the players and staff joining in the singing, it sounded like there was 200 of us. ***Don't forget to send me the videos Mitchell please*** Memories that will last me the rest of my puff.
The best Tooting away trip EVER
