Forums for Gorleston, Kirkley & Pakefield area.

Do clubs in the Eastern Counties have their own forums? i know the clubs who have joined the Ryman League do, like AFC Sudbury, Needham Market etc do, but. I googled Gorleston FC forum but nothing appeared.

Having just moved to Gorleston, i still plan to travel Saturday and selected (better) midweek games to Witham Town FC

However midweeks when the club are playing the likes of Ilford, Waltham Forest etc, then i will be popping into some local games and wondered whether there were some forum links to the likes of :
Gorleston,
Kirkley & Pakefield &
Gt Yarmouth forums.

Any ground within half hour drive, just learning the area.

Thanks if you know.
Mark.

Gorleston's site is on Pitchero, http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/gorlestonfc/
Kirkleys is http://fansforum.kpfc.co.uk/default.asp
the Yarcos is http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/greatyarmouthtownsupporters/
also nearby are http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/norwichunitedfc/
http://www.lowestofttownfc.co.uk/
http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/wroxhamfc/
and a good Anglian Combination to watch is Acle United which i don't have a link to but somebody might have?

Thank you for that very helpful, never knew Acle had a team, but to be fair only just heard of it since i have lived here.
Acle straight accident hotspot. Is the Anglian combination the one that Cromer, Sherringham dominate?

This might sound a silly question but why are Gt Yarmouth called Yarcos, is that banter between fans? I couldn't get their site to open.

Your help is much appreciated. See if i can find a game for next midweek.

Hi Mark welcome to Gorleston. Like yourself. i to moved to the Gorleston area from Witham some 15yrs ago. Dont know where the time has gone!!!! I am involved with Acle United FC and i understand that their Website is nearing completion.

Small world, i plan to still see Witham but as i love the Eastern Counties league, want to watch some of the clubs in the area. Visited Gorleston FC to have a look around when i first got here, spoke to the groundsman i think, but never seen a game there, so that will be good to do.

Only been to Kirkley & Pakefield once for a pre season friendly a few years ago (v Witham) so must return midweek.
I have only seen Gt Yarmouth once, but many moons ago, so another one to add. (Hopefully in the FA Cup too on the 25th Aug)
Wroxham & Norwich Utd again only been to once, but Witham at Wroxham on the 21st August, but looking forward to going back to Norwich Utd.

Looking forward to midweeks.

Do Acle have floodlights or are they 6.30pm kick offs? Love to get to a new ground.

No, Acle do not have floodlights yet and yes their games do kick-off at 6.30pm.They play in the Anglian Combination Premier Division. Their first game of the season is at home v North Walsham Town on Friday 17 Aug. Several clubs in this division do have floodlights and is a feeder league to the Thurlow Nunn (formerly Ridgeons) League.

Thank you.

If you have a postcode for the satnav as i dont know Acle, just the Acle straight, i will come over one night.

Thanks.

NR13 3RA will take you to where the Acle Recreational Club is situated.

You star, Put it in satnav now.

Cromer have won it the last couple of years, but Sheringham have only managed to muster a bottom half finish in the last three seasons. I would say Cromer, Blofield and Acle were the most consistent performers.

Ok i bow to your greater knowledge, only having recently moved here, this is a new league for me.
Thanks for the info. (Under step.5 i only know step.7 at Essex Olymipian & Essex & Suffolk level, so all new grounds)

Thanks General.

Your very welcome, DW

It's only took me 6 months to work it out.....
Will pop over when i can.

I gave you enough hints in that time. What you like at Cluedo!! Mind you, you do knock up a lovely burger!

Back four, you mentioned you lived in Witham. Did you use to post as "Uncle Tom" on the Witham forum, he moved away but cant remember where, used to post on a regular basis about 4 - 5 seasons ago.

Cannot claim to be Uncle Tom i'm afraid, Mark.

ok no probs, a stab in the dark.

I did have an inkling and the Witham post gave it away then.
Not bad driving the minibus also,and getting the singalongs going.....!!!

................and also reminding me as to whether i had locked my car. Happy days!!

The site is open again so please come and have a look, there's obviously not a lot on there after the site had to be cleaned up due to idiots abusing it..anyone is welcome to post on the forum but please keep it sensible..thank you.

All the very best to Backfour at Acle - once i get hold of your fixtures i'll come over for games from time to time.

After 600 miles for the 3 games done to date, nice to have one that is 3 miles from my door step.

Looking forward to Gt Yarrmouth Town away in the FA Cup, congrats on winning your game on Tuesday v Barkingside.

P.S FAO Gt Yarmouth, if it goes to a replay, do you do a players, supporters coach. If so any chance i could pay for a lift on it, for the P.A man of the opposiition. Save me driving and a round trip of 168 miles.
Thank you.

P.S thanks for the link above.

Found a Gorleston forum.
As within a mile of my house.

Found the Gorleston Forum just a little late. The website is at www.gorlestonfc.com and there is a new forum within that

Dismissed that forum as it said 0 threads, but did see it.
