I am looking across a piece of the Adriatic Sea at the Albanian coastline, thinking about Norman Wisdom (the country's favourite comedian). I also wonder if we can take in a local match this week. Corfu does have a team that plays in the third division of the national league, I think, though our charming car hire man and the Scottish lady rep for the villa company were not sure why we would want to watch Kerkyra FC play. They both shrugged their shoulders and looked bemused. As a Scot she should realise the importance of watching any standard of football, especially the below average.
It is Non-League day on the 10th and all clubs below the FL should be doing their stuff. Each day I will remind you with an example of what can be achieved. This year if you find yourself in the first 50 attendees at Walsham le Willows in the Eastern Counties league, their game against Brantham Athletic , you will get a half dozen eggs given to you on behalf of sponsor Alan Marshall of Manor Farm Eggs. You can get them after the match just in case you have the urge to chuck them at the ref.
So much fun, but maybe not quite as much mirth making as the quiz in the Taunton Town FC match day programme which asks many obscure questions such as, how quick was the fastest sending off in English league history and who was given the red card?
Apologies for type face.....using iPad on Albanian border clearly not helping.
Answers to me please.
