Thanks for the vid, definitely not a good day for it. Good ground and as you say seemed to have a 'new' feel to it although they must still be paying for it if your shelling out £10 for chicken and chips ! Slough, famous for Mars Bars and the Wheelie Bin. Anyway thanks for braving the weather and as the Slough fans said....2-1 on your big day out !
@@darrellwilliams213 Thank you very much! Congratulations on the result, you would’ve never known the sides played in different divisions (although I don’t know what that says more about) good luck in the next round! I did not know the Mars bar came from Slough fair play to you guys!
@@the_footballtourist 1. The Mars Bar (and many other products including Twix, Maltesers, Starburst and others...) were developed in Slough. 2. The largest trading estate in Europe 3. The inventor of snooker was born in Slough 4. The zebra crossing was invented in Slough and the first one in the world was in Slough. 5. The 1960's puppet show, The Thunderbirds, was made in Slough 6. The wheelie bin was invented in Slough 7. The Ford GT40 was developed and assembled in Slough 8. Helen Sharman, the first British woman to go into space, came from Slough 9. Slough has 4 grammar schools 10. William Herschel, astronomer who among many achievements discovered the planet Uranus, lived in Slough. Many buildings and public spaces in Slough are named after him, including Herschel Grammar School and the Observatory shopping centre. No doubt many others things that don't spring to my mind just now.
@ I’ve been sent me a link to the song All Things Slough which pretty much outlined all of these things. Genuinely has no idea we had so much to be thankful to Slough for
I literally can’t believe I said the wrong competition, I think it’s because on the train I was looking at what the different between the two tournaments was. Of course it was the FA Trophy!
4:39 Actually, the record attendance was the 1st round match vs Grimsby Town last season, 2,220-odd people turned up for the game
@@emopenguingames2895 Is that right? I got that from a ground hopping guide so it must’ve been out of date.
What other games have you got plans in the next couple weeks?
@@trainspotterandfootballfan5991 I’ve got some pretty exciting plans. The Netherlands next weekend, then a lot of festive hopping
@@the_footballtouristthat nice good luck
@ Thank you! What about yourself?

Well done Tom 👍⚽️ ☔️💨BTW it is the FA Trophy, not the Vase 👍
@@mattthegroundhopper9242 What a rick from me 🤦♂️ know one thing but say another not for the first time of course it’s the FA Trophy
Tom you need to educate yourself on what Slough is famous for apart from the office.
@ What else is there Ed? Please Educate me, felt like a pretty nondescript commuter town to me

@@edcoomber716 Thank you Ed 😁
The "FA Vase" - you don't even know which competition was being played!
I literally can’t believe I said the wrong competition, I think it’s because on the train I was looking at what the different between the two tournaments was. Of course it was the FA Trophy!
Arbour Park may be a newish stadium but the entrance looks like a glorified leftover of a WW2 Nissen hut!
@@mariasummers-r9e Doesn’t it just! Very unique look to it. I wasn’t sure what it reminded me of but maybe it is WW2 huts!
