When the fixtures were announced there was no doubt in my mind that I would be at Orient watching them take on promoted Chesterfield. A couple of weeks ago I had decided that I would take in Clapton's visit to Haringey Borough but having seen Clapton pummel Ealing Town in a friendly I didn't need to scratch my Clapton itch 2 games in a row.
But where to go? In the end I conducted a social media experiment. I sent a tweet to 4 clubs asking them where I should go on the first day of the season. Of the 4 it seems that Haringey Borough and Rayners Lane set up accounts and then promptly forgot about them. So no reply from them. That left Wingate & Finchley and North Greenford United. I had no reason to expect anyone to answer but if I were a betting man I would've backed Wingate as they seem to to be pretty web savvy. I was wrong. Within 5 minutes North Greenford tweeted me back telling me West London was the place to be. So, off I went.
