I wanted to go somewhere I hadn't been before and the proximity of Cockfosters' Chalk Lane ground to the Tube station made them an attractive option. Their opponents, Redbridge, are reasonably local to me and I hadn't seen them yet this season so off I headed into the the cauldron of the late summer Central line and wended my way up the surprisingly slow Picadilly line. Cockfosters isn't that far away surely.
Arriving at 5 to 3 didn't give me any time to get to know Cockfosters but the road up to the ground is lovely. The ground itself is bordered by 2 cricket grounds giving it a leafy idyll kind of a feel. I handed my money over roughly 4.7 seconds before kick off.
