The Sweeney?

Wednesday 8 December 2021, Guildford City 3 Camberley Town 3 0- Combined Counties League, Premier South, Spectrum Arena

Last night I made it to  Guildford- but was not my first choice but late decision after second late call-off of the Kensington & Ealing Borough- British Airways game, Think I will give up trying to catch that fixture!

Athletics stadium, but the raised seated stand (some with cover) does give it a unique interest and also a good view of the game. Plenty of parking and close to the A3- so an easy ground to catch and a 7.30 kick off ( well closer to 7.38pm in the end)

Bar open plus food and tea/coffee available from the portacabins below the stand.

Guildford started quickly, passed the ball well and used the width of the pitch with the left back and left winger creating numerous chances, so no surprise that they went two up quickly and even when Camberley got a goal back, it only took Guildford a minute to get their two goal lead back.

Second half was like a different game, Camberley took control of midfield, Guildford resorted to long ball and very quickly Camberley got two goals back and were  ow on level terms. the game then fizzled out as neither team could take control of the game.

So six goals not bad and for an athletics stadium, not a bad place to watch football.

The club nick name - 'The Sweeney' - why? Seems the Guildford strip is red and white p stripes, like a barber shop pole and the most famous barber ever is - 'Sweeney Todd' - Now you know!
