Originally posted by elguapo4 View PostThe only time I heard of Chertsey was as one of the towns destroyed by the Martians in The War Of The Worlds.
We'd have to bring the story forward 100 years, but I love the fact that the Martians planned landing spot is in the middle of the stockbroker belt and they go on to lay waste to the golf courses and French restaurants of NW Surrey as they march on the capital. But much like the dalek at the bottom of a flight of stairs, their plans for domination are severely hindered by their need to pick their way through the tight confines of suburban shopping centres:

Ha, I was thinking of posting that up as well. It freaked me out the first time I saw it until I worked out the link.
My wife was born in Chertsey, because it had the nearest maternity hospital to where she's from, be she remains resolutely uninterested in its football team's progress.

Good old St. Peter's, not that I know that part of the county particularly well, though I did know a few people in Horsell which was the Martians starting point.

Lived in the hospital for about three years and then made the mistake of moving to Woking for about the same.
Woking and District on the Saturday. South Thameside on the Sunday and a London Hospital Cup on Wednesdays. Happy days.
We had quite a few Chelsea lads play for us at weekends.

Ah, that's quite a stint.
Three games a week! Chuffing nora! You must have been as fit as a butcher's dog after that. Or a wreck. Could go either way.
Yeh, lot of Chelsea in that neck of the woods.

Oh well. Orient lost the Trophy final 1-0. Didn’t play that well, but had enough chances to score. Not that bothered to be honest.
I really don’t like Wembley. Despite 20 odd thousand O’s fans there crammed into 1 quarter, the rest of the place looked empty. But maybe, just, maybe, I’ll see us win a bloody game there before I pop my clogs.

Always regretted not paying a visit to Alwyns Lane to watch Chertsey although I did play at a few non-league grounds while I was there.
