Hanwell Town vs Tooting And Mitcham

So a Tooting win, shouting at people at Bus stops and a portion of chips. That's what I call a Tooting away day.

So it started at 1:15pm when we got picked up in Mitcham. While waiting to get to Hanwell I played a bit of football manager mobile. And so after a while we finally got to the ground.

First Stop, we got some chips. While waiting for the chips I went on my phone and added the game on the groundhopper app. And the chips came. I couldn't find the salt but it was on another table.

Chips Report: 7.5/10

The chips were very nice and when I finished the teams came out. Hanwell wearing normal Terrors colours black and white with Tooting wearing plum (Not pink). The game kicked off and I walked behind the goal waiting for the BogEnd boys to come round so we could start chanting.

There were slightly less Tooting fans at Hanwell than there was at Egham, but we were still making a racket. Nothing much happend during the first half but Toots had a few chances and Tooting keeper Luke Colquhoun made some good saves. In the latter stages of the first half Tooting scored from a corner but there was much debate of if Dominic Morgan Griffiths scored or it was an own goal.
The ref blew for half time and we went to the bar.

Half Time: Hanwell 0-1 Tooting

There was still debate about who scored the goal but Football Web Pages had it as an own goal (sorry Dom). So I ate a packet of crisps and checked the other scores in the Bostik South Central and beyond. I put my gloves back on as it was freezing and went out for the second half.

Tooting were shooting towards the end with no cover under it. The second half was the coldest I felt at a footy match since South Park away back in 2015. We were next to a main road so it was quite loud behind us but the BogEnd boys were still making all the noise.

Former Terror Gareth Chendlik came on for Hanwell too thank him for his time playing for Tooting And Mitcham we let him score to make the score 1-1. Hanwell's keeper looked pissed off that his team had scored and described Gareth as a wanker. He than said "every Time he scores he goes on about it for ages."

Tooting got back into the game straight away and had a few chances. Some Hanwell players commited some bad fouls and Tooting had a free kick. The ball came in and Danny Bassett got given too much time on the ball to put it in and give Tooting a 2-1 lead.

There was a bus stop on the other side of the fence so Hackbridge Harry shouted at the people at the bus stop letting them know the score. "It's 2-1 Tooting, were winning 2-1."

The game continued with Tooting trying to see out the game and Hanwell were pushing for an equaliser. Hanwell had a few chances but Tooting were seeing out the game well. The ref decided to not blow the whisle and play forever. Finally the ref blew his whisle and Tooting had won again.

Full Time: Hanwell Town 1-2 Tooting And Mitcham

I was so relived at full time and we had won our 3rd game in a row. Get In There Tooting.

So I shouted over the fence to the people at the bus stop letting them know the full time score. The Tooting Players came over to shake our hands thanking us for our support. I was delighted at full time and went to the bar to have a full time celebratory drink.

I went on my phone to check the other scores and to tell my mates the score. We went home to enjoy the night and celebrate another Tooting win.

Sadly the night celebrations were dampened due to the events that happened at Leicester City. I hope everyone involved is alright.

Hanwell had a nice little set up with a nice bar and great chips. We received a very warm welcome by all at Hanwell. Good Luck for the rest of the season.
