Alex Bowmer Groundhopping

Documenting my visits to (mostly) English non-league grounds.

Saw this absolute corker yesterday at Preußenstadion Malteserstraße. In a poor game, it was undoubtedly the highlight.

Worth waiting for. 🚀

Chemie Leipzig had to wait until MD4 but they finally have a goal and what a strike it was too from Philipp Wendt!

One of my best #groundhopping experiences for a long time at a deafening Stadion der Freundschaft as Energie Cottbus marked their return to the 2. Bundesliga with a 3-1 home win over Hannover, who will be kicking themselves after creating a whole host of first-half chances.

Visited Preußenstadion Malteserstraße as Chemie Leipzig earned their first point on matchday four, scoring their first goal of the Regionalliga Nordost season - a stunning free-kick - after going down to 10. They drew 1-1 in the end with hosts RSV Eintracht though. #groundhopping

A great first visit to Walton Road and @molesey_fc, who built on a great start to thrash Deportivo Galicia 6-2 in the Combined Counties League Division One, scoring four remarkably similar goals.

Attendance: 70. #groundhopping

@chrislove1990 Haha yes, infuriating.

[Alex Bowmer Groundhopping @ABGroundhopping]

@chrislove1990 Sylla was alright on Saturday - combined well at times and looked like one of your biggest creative threats. Was also impressed in flashes by Barrie McKay - unbelievable first touch and a silky style in general. Maybe a bit too relaxed at times though, as others have mentioned.

[Alex Bowmer Groundhopping @ABGroundhopping]

@chrislove1990 Has he been out of favour because of injuries, form, playing style or a combination of those things?

[Alex Bowmer Groundhopping @ABGroundhopping]

An enjoyable first visit to Dens Park as Dundee secured their Premiership status for another season after beating already-relegated Livingston 3-0.

A classic old ground, and was fairly impressed by Livi at times despite their predicament, especially Barrie McKay. #groundhopping

@Roylovesfooty Great photo!

[Alex Bowmer Groundhopping @ABGroundhopping]

A great first visit to Stade Jean-Bouin, even if mid-table Paris FC's eight-game unbeaten run came to an end as they lost 1-0 to Champions League qualification hopefuls Lille in Ligue 1.

A tale of two penalties, plus a late red card. Spot the Eiffel Tower! #groundhopping

After watching Fulham labour to a 0-0 draw at Brentford, it was a joy to see Indian Gymkhana come from 3-1 down at half-time to beat Wood Lane 4-3 in the Middlesex County Football League, despite going down to 10 at 3-3.

Great drama. Attendance: four. #groundhopping

[Alex Bowmer Groundhopping @ABGroundhopping]

Should've also mentioned Dennis as a man-of-the-match contender. Made an excellent second-half save and his distribution was very good.

[Alex Bowmer Groundhopping @ABGroundhopping]

Enjoyed another Brisbane Road visit despite an uninspiring Leyton Orient display. At least they managed to grind out a goalless draw against Mansfield Town, although the hosts aren't safe from relegation just yet.

Thought Bakinson or Forrester was #lofc's man of the match.

[Alex Bowmer Groundhopping @ABGroundhopping]

@bogie_david Josh Koroma had the shot on target for Orient I believe. I enjoyed it purely because I like visiting Brisbane Road and went with a friend, but it would have been a tough watch for both sets of fans.

@RussWWFC @WSXSAFC @ComCoFL @penntgfc @WembleyFC @NonLeagueCrowd Ha, interesting!

@BCAFCBH @BCAFC_Latam @bantamsarg @NWK_BFD @LeagueOne25 @67_balti @TheBroadhallWay Not familiar with Valley Parade. Is that it in the background of the train-station photo? Great pics.
