Dorking Wanderers vs Oldham Athletic

First Oldham away game in the south of the New Year. 

The last one saw Neill (my brother) and me meeting at my Aunt's in Maidstone and then driving to Woking in Surrey. He drove that time. I bought the tickets to the game.

This time we were headed back to Surrey to Dorking Wanderers. We did this game last year. Oldham managed to win that time.

This year we arrived about an hour before kick off and parked in the longer term car park right by the ground. The spaces are very tight. Typical of this sort of parking there are massive concrete pillars every two spaces! 

Rather than walk up to the high street and try the Wimpy Bar or the fish and chip shop we decided to go into ground and get lunch in there. Burger and a coffee.

We found our seats. Well some seats. It's a bit of a tight squeeze as we weren't allocated a very large area in the stand. As old blokes we need to sit down!

The game wasn't the best but at least we won. There were chances that were missed by both sides but eventually Latics scored with another Mike Fondop rocket.  

We enjoyed the drive home even the M25 and its usual lunatic drivers couldn't dampen our day.
