Pitching In Isthmian Supporters predictions 23-24: East Grinstead Town

We asked supporters of our Pitching In Isthmian League clubs to preview the new season, reflect on the old and predict the final outcome. Next, Peter Linney represents East Grinstead Town.

1. Thinking about last season, what were your highlights?

Winning away to VCD with an outfield player in goal for 90 mins and being 2-0 down at half time. We also had a gutsy performance at home to Whitehawk where we won 3-2, when they were previously in top form.

2. And what was the worst moment?

Going to Kent, every visit to Kent is a disaster 

3. Which member of your squad was your Player of the Season - and why?

Glen Wilson- a strong CB who does what any captain should do and lead the team.

4. Moving on to your current squad- which players do you think will make a big impact during the 2023-24 campaign?

I’m hoping Connor Tighe settles in to the club and proves what a great asset and signing he is.
 

5. Realistically, how do you think you’ll do this season?

Ideally mid-table although I think we will fall just short- but anything above the bottom four is a result for us.

6. Which matches are you most looking forward to going to- and why?

Looking forward to visiting the new stadiums this year as we’ve got Broadbridge, Erith, Horndean and Merstham- and it’s definitely not Three Bridges!

7. What is your favourite Isthmian away ground?

It was Chatham- excellent facilities, and good luck to them in the upcoming season. This year it will have to be Burgess Hill Town- a nice little ground. 

8. If you regularly travelled away, which ground served the best food?

Last season it was the Burger shack at Corinthian- so this year it’s going to have to be Ashford United.

9. Choose your top five:

Ramsgate, Herne Bay, Sheppey United, Ashford United, Beckenham Town
