So we have arrrived at our penultimate
home game of the season with this local derby against Chesham United who
are in with a very real chance of reaching the play-offs. As far as we Marlow
supporters are concerned we are determined to enjoy the last three games
of the season with our last home game on Saturday and then the visit to
Bury Town the following week.
Since my last column was written we have had 4 games with 2 draws and 2
losses - and as the playing conditions are drying out so we see more awkward
bounces of the ball and not such good playing surfaces. So we were pleased
with the 2-2 draw at Burnham, but not too happy with the 0-1 defeats by
Slough Town and Beaconsfield SYCOB.
Last Saturday we made the long trip to Rothwell Town, starting out early
so we could spend some quality time in a Good Beer Guide pub close to the
ground. Mr Grouser was very pleased to be able to show off to his BBGG friends
an article in the April edition of the Non-League 24 Magazine featuring
his nom-de-plume of Maurice Oram under the heading of "Super Fans".
We walked into the pub in Rothwell at exactly 1.30 p.m., looked around and
noticed one person seated at a table eating his lunch. Imagine our surprise
when he spoke to us and had open on his table the very page of the magazine
featuring M.O. Then we found out that he had come all the way that day from
Eastbourne to take photos of the Rothwell v Marlow game - spooky or what?
The game finished 3-3, that photographer had previously been at Marlow for
the game against Bedworth United and that finished 3-3 - spooky or what?
We hope that many of you will join the famous BBGG and the flags this evening
and cheer Marlow to victory and join in our celebrations.
Super Marlow
