Supermarine v Chesham United Preview

Marine vs Chesham United Preview:

We make a quick return to the Webbswood Stadium on Tuesday evening, as high-flying Chesham United make the trip to Wiltshire, kick off 7.45pm.

The performance in Hampshire on Saturday would without doubt, resulted in a comfortable win on any other given day, but to have come away disappointed with the result – not the effort, against a promotion chasing side was yet another sign of how tantalising close Supermarine have been to securing their opening three points of the season.

The arrival of Stuart Fleetwood and Dan Gillespie has certainly injected belief back in to what was and indeed is, a talented roster of hungry young players and you’d be hard pressed to find anyone who attends games on a regular basis that wouldn’t be impressed with the brand of football on display, but looking ahead to yet another tough encounter on Tuesday evening, the Head Coach said: “We’re bottom of the league with four points after fourteen games.

“You look at that and hopefully they’ll underestimate us. We’re on our home patch and I’m not going to change the way I play, we are going to go to win it – risk and reward. There are going to be times that we’ll be caught open or we have a few scares, but we’re going to go and try to win the game.

“I don’t play for points, I’m not in a position to do that with our league position or our points tally so I’m not going go in to the game with ten-men behind the ball, that’s not my way.”

Our visitors meanwhile, arrive at the Webbswood Stadium with two games in hand over current leaders Salisbury (14/33) and Gosport Borough (14/32) are just three points behind Gosport and despite defeat in the FA Cup on Saturday (0-2 vs Maidstone United), will be looking to continue their regular push for promotion.

Parking & Travel:

Whilst we have FREE car parking for over 300 cars in our car park at the Webbswood Stadium, it does get very busy on matchdays so why not travel by public transport and then save the issue off finding a parking space!

We encourage our spectators to use the Stagecoach Number 7 bus from the town centre bus station, with a route via Greenbridge Retail Park and The Crown Inn at Stratton. It’s a twenty-three-minute bus ride to the last bus stop in the South Marston Industrial Estate (Exel stop).

Just ask the bus driver to stop for you at the bus stop for the Supermarine Sports Complex, and then it’s just a few minutes’ walk from there to the ground. This makes the Webbswood Stadium more accessible to all and has greener credentials, please try it!
