Best Game Seen:
Yate Town 3 v 2 AFC Totton.
Runner Up: Tiptree United 4 v 3 Eton Manor
Dullest Game:
FK DAC Dunajska Streda 0 v 0 MFK Ruzemberok
Runner Up: Taunton Town 0 v 1 Yate Town
Most Picturesque Ground: Sligo Rovers. (Beautiful mountainous backdrop with cathedral also in close view)
Runner Up: Penrhiwceiber Rangers (In a lovely valley in the Welsh valleys)
Biggest Rip-off: RCD Espanyol (€45 for a seat in a corner for a very average top flight team...disgraceful!)
Best Value: Rotherfield (for being free and a very entertaining game at a scenic rural venue)
Runner Up: Slovan Bratislava (this could be any of the Slovakian games - unbelievably cheap for top flight football in a country that qualified for the World Cup)
Biggest Surprise Result; US Marignane 1 v 0 SC Bastia
Runner Up: Espanyol 0 v 4 Racing Santander (at a time when Racing were adrift at the bottom of the table and hadn't won a game for two and a half months)
Best Atmosphere: SK Rapid Vienna
Worst View: East Stand, Easter Road, Hibernian. (Hardly any incline in the rows and television gantry getting in the way, very good thing that this stand has now been demolished)
Most One-Sided Game: Stansted 9 v 0 Tiptree United (Could have been several more but for fine goalkeeping by the Tiptree goalkeeper)
Coldest Game Watched: Waltham Forest v Maldon Town
Hottest Game: Portimonense v Freamunde
Runner Up: Norwich City v Charlton Athletic
Worst Conditions: Faversham Town v Beckenham Town (Heavy rain, driving winds and pitch a mudbath)
Ground With Most Character: St James Park, Exeter City (Lovely combination between old fashioned terracing and stand with modern stands.)
Ground with most surreal experience: Louletano 0 v 1 Uniao Madeira (only about 500 spectators in 30,000 capacity Algarve stadium situated in the middle of nowhere)
Best Programme - All Levels: Exeter City (Superb effort with abundance of info on both teams and the league in general)
Best Programme - Grass Roots: Penrhiwceiber Rangers (Excellent programme considering level club plays at)
Worst Programme: Beckenham Town (Did not produce - no excuse for senior club and apparently not the first time) and Ashford Town (Middlesex)
