maxjam Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 As a young lad growing up just outside Swadlincote in South Derbyshire my local team was Gresley Rovers - a few mates and I would walk the couple of miles or so there on a Saturday afternoon and watch them play! For a while they ascended through the divisions to reach the Conference or whatever its called now and also enjoyed a day out at Wembley in the early 90s playing out an epic 4-4 draw vs someone (can't remember lol) in the FA Vase final. Unfortunately as is the way with a lot of small clubs they fell on hard times, went bankrupt and fell through the divisions again Burton Albion is also only 3 or 4 miles away and I've been to see them numerous times as well (also picked up a Burton Mail fantasy football winner cheque from Brian Clough at half-time during one match!) But I always felt a bit dirty watching the Brewers - its the wrong side of the Trent for us Swaddies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingsy1884 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Coalville Town FC earned themselves promotion into the 7th tier via the playoffs playoffs this year. Wish some other team would try doing something similar...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Nearest is Barwell, but you get a stiff neck watching them. Buxton is my home town club. Like to get up there at least half a dozen times a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKRam Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Stockport County..... Ex work colleague always used to bet on the three Counties winning. Considering that's us and Newport to make up the three you can understand why he didn't make very much. And one of those unwanted records like our 11 pt Prem I believe no team has fallen further in so short a time as SCFC.(?) They still get decent crowds but it's a big town and hope they can rise through the ranks again...... Ah big Kev!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
