The "Little Things"

First published in the Hungerford programme on 10th December 2013...It’s been nearly twenty years now since a young Rob King and a young Alan Calder, so used to watching Chesham United every Saturday, chose to take a weekend off and head to the coast. For some inexplicable reason we chose Margate (back then a more desirable resort than our most recent visit from what I remember). Young, free and single, we pitched up on the train, popped into Tourist Information and booked ourselves a B&B for the weekend. We had a Friday night out, and then on the Saturday we chose to catch another train over to Dover and watch Dover Athletic, they were playing Stalybridge Celtic in a Conference League match.
