Back home, against a new club (with some old habits)

Saturday 21 July 2018, Holland 5 Clapton CFC 0 - PSF, Eastcliffe




A memorable day, Holland back at Eastcliffe after 3 years at Clacton and the opponents a new fan owned club - Clapton Community FC. After a number of years being in dispute with the owners, the fans decided to start their own club.



May be a new club but same old habits - kick off was 30 minutes late, my third Clapton away game and none have started on time. They did bring over 50 fans down from East London, plenty of singing a couple of flags and a drum!




Holland have a good new set up and the pitch was in great condition when you think how little rain we have had. They were also much better on the pitch, young fit and should be pushing for promotion this season.


Clapton struggled but it was their first ever game, they will improve and should also be looking for promotion from their division.
