Posted on May 25, 2016 by writewyattuk

That’s it for another season, and even by recent Woking FC standards this was rollercoaster-esque. Not in an overly-exciting way though. It was all over as a competition far too soon. Considering the comparatively small budget and those early injury … Continue reading →

Going back 25 years, ending up 10,000 miles from Kingfield

Posted on January 30, 2016 by writewyattuk

Woking’s National League defeat at Altrincham on Tuesday, January 26th, 2016, won’t stay in the memory bank for long for too many Cardinals fans, despite the latest party-piece goal from free-kick maestro Giuseppe Sole. For a moment there in the … Continue reading →

Liberty Way, above and beyond – my continuing travels with Woking FC

Posted on August 24, 2015 by writewyattuk

I wasn’t ready for the new season. It arrived far too early. I didn’t doubt that Garry Hill and Steve Thompson had put our new-look squad through its paces, but I hadn’t even had my summer holiday. Could it really … Continue reading →

Now we’re a third of the way through the season, there’s a real sense of belief in the ranks around and about Woking FC. And if nothing else, the fact that we now have 30 league points to our name … Continue reading →

Where to now? Woking negotiating Conference Runaround

Posted on June 12, 2014 by writewyattuk

Remember children’s TV quiz Runaround, with gravel-voiced late great Mike Reid asking his young contestants to ‘runaround now!’ and decide which answer’s right, then form an orderly queue? Fast forward 35 years or so and I can see Woking FC … Continue reading →

After the storm and under the floodlights with Woking: from the Shay to the International, via the Humber and the Hoe

Posted on March 9, 2014 by writewyattuk

As renowned meteorologist Robert Plant once put it, “If it keeps on raining, the levee’s going to break”. And a couple of months ago that might well have been the case in my old neck of the woods in the … Continue reading →

Cardinal deliberations and Garry’s magic 50

Posted on March 19, 2013 by writewyattuk

ANYONE who’s listened to outwardly gruff, sometimes grouchy, occasionally gregarious Garry Hill’s post-match interviews this season will know he’s had a bit of a thing for that ‘magical 50-point mark’. With all due respect to the Woking FC boss, it’s … Continue reading →

A lubbly Bubbly awayday at Haig Avenue

Posted on February 28, 2013 by writewyattuk

WHAT a week for the Cards, and a rare one for me as I’d seen them play three matches. A half-term trip South allowed me to take in a battling Kingfield defeat to play-off hopefuls Newport County, before a return … Continue reading →

A poor return and the not so magnificent seven

Posted on December 6, 2012 by writewyattuk

Did that really happen? It wasn’t supposed to. I was only at Ewen Fields, Hyde, to stretch my impressive unbeaten run watching Woking FC to 16 matches. Despite still perceiving myself as some sort of Jonah, I’d not actually seen … Continue reading →
