Red. letter day
Redhill 2 Forest Hill Park 1
Have a walk around the ground and see some clips of the game here https://youtu.be/vEy1hT0Alx4
Yep, my scheduled first train of the day was cancelled. Apparently, it was because a member of the train crew was not available. There is only one member, so that would be the driver. The reason was because he was coming to the station by taxi and "Something had happened on the way". Seriously, this is what a platform attendant told me. I told him that i didn't believe a word of what he was saying, his follow-up was that this was the first cancellation of the day as if this is a record to be proud of. One cancellation a month and I would be mortified!
On the other hand, what a splendid job has been done on the new London Bridge station. It used to be a five minute walk from the mainline to the tube and you ended up on a crowded, windy platform. Now there is a magnificent concourse full of shops and loads of room. Very impressive!
I travelled to Earlswood station, roadworks were taking place just outside the entrance and I felt most unsafe having to navigate under a sinister looking grabber that was lugging hard core around. Earlswood Common just up the orad looked a nice spot and the walk along the Horley Road was busy but quite pleasant taking in a golf course and the local recycling centre.
The ground itself has a small stand on one side, a little covered standing area at one end and the 'Redhill Canteen' serving hot drinks and the usual football ground food.
The game itself was a bit of a slog for Redhill, they took the lead just before half time but were pegged back just after the break. The winner finally came in the first period of extra time.
