Oldham Athletic at Ebbsfleet United - September 28th 2024

Another chance to see my boyhood club in action in the South-East of England.  There are a lot of the National League Premier Division clubs dotted in and around London and the Home Counties.

The away fixture at Ebbsfleet was back in February 2024 during last season. Ebbsfleet at that time were in danger of relegation to the National League South but staged a comeback tour that meant they stayed up with games to play.  

Oldham on the other hand went the other way and dropped out of the play-offs for promotion back into the Football League to finish mid table.  

That game was a dismal affair with neither team actually having a clue.  I went by train and walked across to the ground.

This season the game is at the end of September.  The Arsenal game is also at home to Leicester City but it is Phil's game rather mine on the shared Gold Season Ticket. So I am free to go to Ebbsfleet.

As it is still early enough in the year I would prefer to go on the bike and get some miles under the tyres!  parking is always a problem, although at quite a few away grounds such as Southend, Colchester United, Sutton United and Dagenham I have been able to park in their car-park. A motorcycle doesn't take up much room. 

I don't have emailed them to see if they can find space and they have come back to ask which game and they will put me on the list.  Superb.

Home to Ebbsfleet!
