The Same Old Few

"Their steward asked me if I was on the coach, I said no, he said can you go anyway." - The Same Old Few On Tuesday September 30th in 2014 we lost 6-1 away at Cirencester Town in front of a whopping crowd of 75. This was our first season at this level following a relegation  from the Conference South wit...

"If you're going to be as late getting to work tomorrow as you were for that challenge just now, don't bother turning up." - The Same Old Few In seasons gone by we’ve gone into the last game with our fate in our own hands. Next Saturday is another time when we’ll know what is required of us before kick-off, but for the first time in fuck kn...

"He can barely stand, how the fuck did he get on the roof?" - The Same Old Few In years gone by, when we were expecting a large following on the road, the team would normally bottle it, and we’d end up getting tanked 4-0 and just drowning our sorrows. However, this is 2025 and D...

Frome was some day out and Wardy has written about what he can remember from it. Ignorant pigs, one man down and one man up on the roof, a box of rolls, overcrowding at Dorch West, and super Brett Pitman all featured 👇

"I leave my sat-nav on so she knows when I'm nearly home and she can put the oven on." - The Same Old Few The effect that football has on my mood is at best unhealthy. Leaving the ground at Gloucester after conceding an injury time equaliser is the worst I’ve felt at football in a long time. I’ve felt bet...

Hop in the TARDIS the Walton blog is finally up as Vossy reviews a vital 1-0 home win. Champagne, buffets, wine for Mother Lee & plaudits for Harry Lee, half a pint of antifreeze, parking in a harbour, the sat nav dinner timer and more👇

“Hurry up and get back on your fucking bus” - The Same Old Few “To lose patience is to lose the battle,” once said the great Gandhi. If his team were in the play-offs but hadn’t won in 406 days, I reckon even he would have knocked the protests on the head. Alas, ...

Floydy has the review of all things Totton and more as those pesky automatic toilet doors, Wes Fogden, Fred Perry, a Totton zip up top, a DME reunion, and one angry man at the juke box make up this week's blog.

"Guyer asked for a large sambucca and they gave him half a pint in two glasses" - The Same Old Few I would usually start one of these with an attempt at humour, but I’ll start on a more solemn note this week after hearing the sad news of the passing of Laurence Good. Laurence wasn’t someone I knew ...

"I want to see a copy of your ground regulations." - The Same Old Few After watching last week’s dire draw with Wimborne, I had nightmares for the next few nights that our season would now fall apart and we would return to the dross of the last decade. However, this tea...

🚨 BLOG ALERT🚨

Wardy offers his thoughts on Saturday's point at Taunton as well as issues with locked toilets, ground regulations and flag policy, the Spanish Lager Inquisition, and a one legged goalie.

Dorchester 1-1 Sholing.

Not at our best but never gave up and got the point we deserved. If you don't want ten minutes of injury time, don't waste ten minutes and think no one will notice. Chin up, Sholing, piss off back to the wrong half of Hampshire.

A few from Saturday's 3 points courtesy of the Polski Magpies who have a much better camera than us. Spetch > Pickford. Justice for Mad Maurice and his fallen Bargain Bucket. Up The Fucking Dorch.

Merthyr 0-0 Dorchester.

Another week, another away day, another very good point. Benfield immense, serious shift from the ten in front of him, and an even better result given who was missing. Best food in the league and either the best/worst bogs in the league depending on your perspective.

"When you have to call the fire brigade because your mate is locked in the Costa toilets." - The Same Old Few After the relegation of Hayes & Yeading last season, I had hoped we’d seen the last of clubs comprised of two shit places no one liked who merged to form one horrendous super club, but no. Havant & Wa...

A good point at Havant is the topic for this one, additional mentions for the Malawian FA's Facebook notifications, the Soplica virus, locked in the bogs at Costa, a massive pizza, and bomber Luth 👇

“How is he giving us the wanker sign at his age.. with his arthritis!?” - The Same Old Few In the euphoric ending to 2024 and our last grasp victory over Basingstoke, Tommy Killick warned against complacency and the need to refocus quickly for Winchester just two days later. At the time, I ...

Cam's buggered off back to the land of inconsiderate tall people, but looked back on the Winchester game before he went. Long running feuds, sticky toffee pudding, a failed PR career and the Winchester gaffer giving us the finger..👇👇👇

"Sit down you fucking gnome." - The Same Old Few Before Saturday’s game, there was no plan whatsoever to do a blog on the afternoon’s festivities against Basingstoke. At about a quarter to five with us 2-1 down, I was already preparing to erase any ...

Victory snatched from the jaws of defeat. Our incredible 3-2 comeback win over Basingstoke on Saturday including angry gnomes, the saddest bargain bucket ever, a striker fired from a cannon, a long walk home from Poole and more 👇 👇 👇

"Everyone remembers that Boxing Day because of the Tsunami. I remember it because of a Groover hat trick and a 4-1 win over them lot." - The Same Old Few Being dragged to the footie by the old man has been a Boxing Day tradition for me from a very young age, mostly to see us get a hammering by Weymouth. Our last proper derby game with a Boxing Day vict...

In fact we ...

He's done well to have anything to write about given the quality of the floodlights there. He had to check Ceefax to confirm the score when he got in.

There will be a Walton blog as Floydy dusts off the fountain pen. Should be with you in the week if his working from home schedule allows.

"Does he just want to be suspended over Christmas? A Gary Bowles special?" - The Same Old Few My first time writing anything other than an email or text since the days of the old fans’ online forum on a Monday morning – Kempy out! Sorry, old habits. Anyway, onto the day. As usual, any Saturday...

@noscoredraws.bsky.social Dorchester have had a few semi-famous faces over the years. Did Danny Ings, Kieffer Moore, Trevor Senior or Graham Roberts make it to a mug for any of their various clubs?
