To The Menace Arena!
…on Saturday afternoon. Peckham Town were at home to Ide Hill FC.
I was slightly late, but no worries. KO was delayed. The away team was stuck in traffic, apparently.
I’m not even sure where Ide Hill is.
The delayed start allowed our small but incredibly well formed Brixton Buzz team to have a pre-match editorial meeting.
It lasted al of thirty seconds. Fuck planning strategies, content calendars and commercial partnerships.
Fancy a drink?
The S Ldn sun was shining on the Arena (OK, municipal field) and the home team made a strong start.
A deliberate handball on the line from an away defender led to a red card and a pen for Peckham.
It was WEIRD seeing the away manager calling for the goal to stand and no penalty.
A comedy moment followed when the poor ref had the ball absolutely TWATTED into his face.
POW. Right in the kisser. I bet that bloody hurt.
Peckham were 2-0 up at half time, against a ten man Ide Hill.
The entertainment at the break was watching the official Peckham Influencer do his stuff in front of the camera on the pitch. I was half tempted to download Tik Tok to see how it all plays out.
A pretty dire second half then followed. The best it got was a Grandad centre half for Ide Hill doing his best to get himself sent off with his mouthy gob.
I think there was a Peckham player called Murillo.
Gosh.
The lower the level, the better the experience.
