Stupid, Stupid Sat Nav system!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(42, 42, 42);\">In old English it was recorded as &ldquo;Homestead on a stream&rdquo; and first appeared in the Doomsday book in 1086 as Burneham. 1086, that&rsquo;s when the Rolling Stones formed wasn&rsquo;t it?<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(42, 42, 42);\">The town is home to a former Benedictine Abbey, but now has Augustinian Nuns living in the ruins. Surely they must now have a roof over their heads?<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(42, 42, 42);\">Famous people from Burnham include Mike Ashley of Newcastle United and Sports Direct fame and comedians Jimmy Carr and Tracey Ullman. So they do like their laughs in Burnham then? On a comical note, many scenes from the slap stick Carry On series were filmed here.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(42, 42, 42);\">On a musical front, Chris Lowe from the Pet Shop Boys used to live here and penned some fantastic never to be heard singles. Such a waste, we could have had them playing over our speakers this Saturday.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><b><u><span style=\"color: rgb(42, 42, 42);\">HISTORY<\/span><\/u><\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(42, 42, 42);\">The club was founded in the year 1878 and what a year! Thomas Edison patented the phonograph or record player to you and me! So you can blame this man for having our ears and hopes destroyed by the likes of One Direction, Five Star and others. Yes Crows, I do have their albums too! This year does make the club the second oldest in Buckinghamshire.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(42, 42, 42);\">The club spent its early years knocking around the various local leagues before joining the Great Western Combination League in 1948. In 1964 they moved to the Wycombe Combination and then the Reading Combination in 1970. Talk about league hoppers!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(42, 42, 42);\">In 1971 saw the club enter the Hellenic Football League Division One &ldquo;A&rdquo; and they were runners up in their first season. They were runners up in the proper Division One the following season and promoted to the Premier Division. In 1976 they were champions and the following year, yep you guessed it, they swapped into another league. This time it was the Athenian League. They have yet to try the SSML, Essex League or the Northern League, but there is still time.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(42, 42, 42);\">1978 saw the club finish fourth in the league but the Quarter finals of the FA Vase were reached with victories over Fleet Town, Ruislip Manor, Newbury Town and Eastbourne United. They eventually lost in a replay to the rather exotically named Almondsbury Greenway.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(42, 42, 42);\">The FA Vase Semi Final was reached in 1983 with wins over Beckenham, Maldon Town, Cray, Eastleigh, Wivenhoe and Forest Green Rovers. Their run was ended by Halesowen Town but only after penalties. They also finished in 6th spot in the league.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(42, 42, 42);\">In 1984, guess what Crows? They swapped leagues again and joined the London Spartan League and won it at the first attempt. They then had an identity crisis and merged with Hillingdon Borough to form Burnham &amp; Hillingdon FC. With this merging came a place in the Southern League. They dropped the Hillingdon bit in 1987.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(42, 42, 42);\">The merge did not help matters on the pitch and the club were relegated back to the Hellenic League in 1995. Their stay here was fairly short with promotion achieved in 1999, winning the league on the final weekend by 3 points from Carterton Town FC. Yep I have never heard of them either!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(42, 42, 42);\">The following year saw Les Blues reach the 4<sup>th<\/sup> Round of the FA Trophy. That was when the so-called ex league clubs took it seriously and did not refer to it as the &ldquo;Tin Pot&rdquo; Trophy. They dispatched Fisher Athletic, Dulwich Hamlet (why do they call it a Hamlet when it is a huge place), Oxford City and that Chip Waving team from Scarborough. They lost out to the men from the McCain Stadium 6-0 after a replay.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(42, 42, 42);\">Mid table finishes have been the norm for Burnham, except in 2007 and 2010 when 3<sup>rd<\/sup> place was secured.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif;\">This season they are seen as one of the challengers for promotion and Saturdays match should provide excellent entertainment. Hopefully a Royston win too! I&rsquo;ll be wearing my lucky pants and the same socks from the Aylesbury game. Don&rsquo;t worry, they have been washed since then!&nbsp;Our other lucky omen has been instructed to drink several pints of water before the game. You know who I am talking about?<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><b><u><span style=\"color: rgb(42, 42, 42);\">Their Season So Far<\/span><\/u><\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(42, 42, 42);\">A strong season so far for the Blues. Currently sitting in 3<sup>rd<\/sup> place with 16 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats so far. They are prolific in front of goal finding the net 54 times.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(42, 42, 42);\">Their defence is pretty mean with just 25 goals conceded so far. Their last outing was on the 12<sup>th<\/sup> January 2013 when a last minute goal gave them victory over Chalfont St Peter. Last time on the road saw Burnham thrash Barton Rovers 6-1 with goals from Dobson, Palmer, Wilmot, Couch and a brace of Birds.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><b><u><span style=\"color: rgb(42, 42, 42);\">Ones to Watch<\/span><\/u><\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(42, 42, 42);\">I have to start with the Division&rsquo;s top scorer Ryan Bird. Hence the brace of Birds gag earlier, scored twice, a brace, get it? I am watching the tumbleweed fly past. Anyhow young Ryan has 25 league goals to his name. Definitely one to watch, Jack and Joe will be up against it on Saturday and will need to be at the top of their game to snuff this lad out! Ryan came through their youth ranks and has been watched extensively by several league clubs including Wycombe and Leyton Orient.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(42, 42, 42);\">Partnering Ryan up front, we should find Staforde Palmer. The Staf is a recent acquisition from Met Police. Only signed in December last year, he has found the net 8 times so far including 4 goals against Woodford United. Former clubs include Hayes, Farnborough, Eastleigh and of course the boys in blue.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(42, 42, 42);\">Experienced midfielder Dwane Lee has started mainly from the bench recently, but this lad is still a threat. Dwane has bags of talent and has played for many a league club. These include Aldershot, Exeter City and Barnet.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><b><u><span style=\"color: rgb(42, 42, 42);\">The Gaffer<\/span><\/u><\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(42, 42, 42);\">Long serving manager Martin Stone nearly left the club in July last year over budget issues. However after ironing out their issues, the Blues must be relieved that he stayed in the hot seat with their excellent season so far.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><b><u><span style=\"color: rgb(42, 42, 42);\">Have We Met Before?<\/span><\/u><\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:white\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(42, 42, 42);\">Just the once and it was this season. The Crows secured a creditable draw at the Gore in October last year. Kaan Fehmi was the Royston scorer. It could have and possibly should have been a better result as Burnham were reduced to 9 men! I cannot comment on the quality of the match as unfortunately my Sat Nav had taken me to the delightful Burnham Ramblers in Essex!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div
