Great question, mine was against Ulysses in the Spartan League, which now crazily enough is the South Midlands league. Someone will probably know what Ulysses stands for.

Welling 1-0 Hayes in 2005 was mine. Steve Perkins got the winner with a header if I remember correctly

Not a clue...probably before I could walk/talk, the earliest one where I can actually remember the result was 6-2 on the last day of the season against Halifax in 1998

Not a clue. I joined the forum in June 2007 and at my first game, I met Mark X and Sidcup Graham.

Yes I can remember mine 1983 v's Tooting & Mitcham in the FA Trophy, as it was near Christmas they had a huge prize draw, I won a digital watch with a light which broke in 24 hours, I think Eric supplied the prizes...

As I have the memory of a goldfish, the first match I can just remember was us beating Havant and Waterlooville. I think we won 1-0.

Pretty sure it was Abbos Wondergoal against Gateshead that saved us from the drop-think that was 1992?

Someone in early 1986 - if whoever took all my programmes ever looks at the forum they will be able to confirm who it was.

Think my first game was a pre season friendly against Arsenal around 1993/94. If memory serves me right it was a 3 all draw, with Arsenal being 3 nil up.

My first league game was around the same time against Stalybridge Celtic in the old Vauxhall Conference Premier. Don't remember the score but I remember my mate was told to "shut up" when he kept trying to start songs!!

My first away match wasn't until 2008(?) against Thurrock. That was the game that Jimmy Dack was sent off.

My first game was around 94/95 season when i was only 9/10 yrs old!

I dont remember the team but always remember players like Terry Robins, Mike Rutherford and Steve Finnan before he went on to Ireland and Liverpool. Oli Morah dunno why he always stuck in me head when i was down there as a wee lad!

And i even remember getting asked in the club house if i wanted to take a penalty at half time! i went on only young crapping myself and yes i missed! but great just to go on the pitch!

Matt, you should have returned it to me and I would have willingly replaced it for you, rather than spoil the image of my reputation.

Incidently, anyone who is still the proud owner of my "Specialist limited edition digital watches" I can still supply you with replacement batteries if needed.

Even to this day, I still feel very moved by the number of kind comments that I received from the proud owners of this line.

 Oli Morah? Probably because once he found his shooting boots he was total quality. Had he not given up to concentrate on his work (or whatever it was) he could have been up there with Welling's finest in my opinion

Eric I can only say that pound stretcher and pound land must have built their business models on your concept.

Welling 4 Chalfont St Peter 2. Athenian League 25th November 1978. 0-0 ht and was so dull I nearly went home. Decided to stay a bit longer and John Bartley scored a hat-trick in the 1st fifteen minutes of the second half. He also added our fourth after Chalfont got back to 3-2, missed a penalty and one disallowed in that second half.

V Enderby Town (who became Leicester United) in 1981/2. 3-0 victory with Messrs Agana and Townsend in the side. Was on the 89 bus to Welling with my mum, and had passed the ground, noticed they were at home that day and said to her, "I wonder what a Welling game's like."

Not sure of the day or who we played but it was 1996 and Lennie Dennis and Duncan Horton were playing.

My son had just started showing an interest in football so I did what my dad did for me and took him to every London ground. There was a Saturday when there were no new grounds to visit ao we popped along to PVR.

A few weeks later I took my old mate along and we've been going ever since eventually getting season tickets.

         How about your first away day?

         I remember my old man taking me down to Dover a couple of times in the mid to late 90's and also went to Staines Town too!

         Nothing better than an away game!

Banstead Athletic in the 1977/78 season I think.

We won and "God" scored so it could have been any game back then really!

Cambridge City 03/04 season, lost 1-0.

Away was Bath City same season and lost 2-0 I think. We stayed up to go into the new restructured league?

Mine was some time in 02/03 season, no idea who we played or what the score was! Only reason I know the year is some kind soul gave my little one some old programmes at the Danson festival and I recognised the whole team!

 Didn't Dererk Richardson when playing for Maidstone/Dartford once also climb over the fence to remonstrate with someone? Signed for us soon after-all forgiven.
