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

Starting to believe again – my distant life with the Cardinals
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
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

Taking the crunchy with the smooth, Cardinals style

Cardinal deliberations and Garry’s magic 50
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 poor return and the not so magnificent seven
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
