[Football] The Non-League Football Thread- 2022/23 Edition

it's apparently around 4,000 but I've been in crowds of about 2,200 and it was absolutely rammed. I reckon 2,500 is realistically the limit of what it can actually accommodate

2,678 there last night - with room for more!

Great result for Worthing. The North West corner looked superb with the Away Boys Fanatics in the second half.

Edited to correct corner of Woodside Road!

yes I was surprised at how much space there was. So maybe the true capacity is nearer the 4000 mark!

Will the final be at Wembley, I know it is on BT

Was it not the North West corner?

No. If Worthing are in it then it will either be at Dartford or at home to St Albans.

Semi-Final ticket secured. Oxford City segregating the game up there and from what I've heard, giving us an allocation around the 450 mark. A chance we'll sell that out which will be amazing. Would urge anyone considering going to get their ticket sorted asap to be safe.

Great 2nd half last night after a very scrappy first. Great crowd too, and despite what people are saying there really was plenty more room behind the west goal. Also, on the north terrace, it was busy, but again, room for a fair few more. In the first half we were at the 'wrong end' and there was plenty of space, in the second half when loads moved down to what became the 'right end' we never felt overcrowded.

did fans change ends at HT? I could her on the radio announcements to not do this because of congestion. Many away fans?

Most of the ABF did, and many others too, it was a lot more filled up in the 2nd half, down the north side where we were, also behind the goal and on the south side. Reckon there were around 100 away fans maybe a few more?

Sadly have other plans on Sunday but will be listening in on Rebel Yell.

Bit unfair on Questions.

Oy what’s that about…. I had a mate once.

 

[Questions]

Anyone recall Goldstone north stand when Worthing fans would gather one side and Eastbourners the other and charge each other sometimes? I wonder how many Albion fans are from Worthing area? Is there a study anywhere that's been published how many Albion's fans are in each town area? I seem to recall long way back we had lots of fans in Horsham area. When I travel to Falmer from LA there are certainly far more BHA thank Port5cumouthy fans if we ever play at home on same day.

I’m from Worthing and so is my wife

Should be a really tough game. As I said to you and @Hotchilidog yesterday before the game (giving away who I am on here, if I hadn't done so already ), of the teams left to play if we got through last night, Oxford City were always the ones I thought we'd be hard pushed to beat. Anything is possible in the play-offs mind you.

Worthing sold out our away allocation of 450 tickets in less than 12 hours, which is an amazing effort. Oxford claiming they'll put more on sale tomorrow night if they don't sell out...which given their average attendance this season has been in the 400s...I do not see happening.

One thing that segregation of this game has reflected is that given their relative low attendance figures throughout the season, it feels Oxford purely want prevent it from turning into a defacto home game for us given the amount of fans that haven't bought tickets yet but may still want to travel.

We already knew who you were

Who knows? Next season there could be Worthing in the top tier of non-league football.

And maybe playing in front of a 5 figure crowd at Notts County.
Not to mention a bye to the 4th qualifying round off the FA cup.

National League South Play Off Semi-Final
Oxford City vs Worthing (Sunday, 15:30)

Worthing's 2-1 victory against Braintree Town, in front of over 2,600 fans, earns them a spot in the semi-final against a strong Oxford City team.
Last time these two met was in February '23 which resulted in a 3-0 loss for the Rebels.
However Worthing are in great form currently, with 7 wins in their last 8 matches.
After selling out in less than 12 hours, extra allocation means 550 away fans will likely make the trip to Oxford to see if Worthing can continue this remarkable season.

Come on you Rebels!!! And hoping for the final to be in Sussex

Horrible tackle. Notice that everyone piled into the fight and not one of his teammates went to see how the injured player was.

Great news for the Lewes followers here, the management team has signed for another two years and Joe Taylor has signed on for another year too
