Blessed is the person who having nothing to say abstains from giving us wordy evidence of the fact.

And they didn't even write the story themselves, just nicked it from the PA report doing the rounds.
Mind you, The Times just gave us literally one sentence at the end of a far more detailed report on the League 2 play-offs.

I've been living in Redhill for a few years and listen to Radio Surrey in the mornings. I'm back in Sutton now and still listen.
Up until recently there was never any mention of Sutton. Woking, Dorking - even Aldershot. Now suddenly because we were doing well they've started mentioning us and made a big thing this morning.

I don't expect many people buy the Daily Mail but they have a page where people write questions and later they print some responses.
Somebody asked about which Counties had the most and least league teams. Some uninitiated person said the there were 13 London Borough teams in the league and omitted us.
Either he was ignorant of our location or wasn't up to date with his knowledge although he pointed out there were no league teams in Surrey.
I wrote to point out this error. I'll let you know if it gets printed.

Just 3 days ago we had an email from a mother wanting to put her son in an academy near to her west midlands home. Lots of people have no idea where Sutton is !

I’ve had letters addressed to Sutton Coldfield delivered to me before now as well as other obscure places 😂. What’s the point of postcodes I ask myself?

Unfortunately Dave, there is a Sutton United Football Club based at Sutton Colfield, Birmingham and are members of the Midlands Football League.... So it's probably a case of her not checking the Web properly when she sent her email. How the FA have allowed another Club to register their name the same as ours is beyond me!

Not forgetting Sutton Coldfield Town. We get regular emails from youngsters and adults wanting to join us who are clearly Midlands based. Even the FA has sent us comms intended for one of the other clubs.

They don’t even wrap fish and chips in newspaper any more.

I've often wondered the same. We had almost 50 years of history behind us by the time they came on the scene...

We need a sitcom or soap on TV based in Sutton. Thanks to Eastenders, Minder, Only Fools & Horses, Till Death do Us Part, Steptoe & Son - people outside London know where The Isle of Dogs, Shepherds Bush, Peckham, West Ham, and Millwall are. Sadly Hancock's Half Hour was mainly a radio show because 23 Railway Cuttings, East Cheam (aka West Sutton) just has to be almost next door to GGL.
