Reprieved... I can get to Bolton v Spurs in the Cup on Sunday!! Phew... (Actually Father-in-Law might escape with me for that one) Today, though, can't make up my mind. Man City v Stoke this evening, or Stockport v Colchester; Oldham v Walsall; FC Utd of Manchester v Worksop; or even Hyde v Eastwood. Might do the latter I think... I was going to try & do one of these and then go the short distance to the Man City game after but think I'm pushing my luck (not with the short distance between any of these but with the family!!) If I was going to go to any of them firstly I`d think who would I rather my money went too, that would deffo have to be F.C of Manc v Worksop for obvious reasons then try too get to the evening game. I certainly wouldn`t let Stockport have a penny of my money because I still remember when they came down here and absolutely slated the place, how Stockport can slag Torbay off when their place is a sh*t hole I don`t know but anyway sod them! Oldham v Walsall would be interesting but I`d lean towards the minows because I think they need it more, saying that Hyde v Eastwood I feel would be almost like paying to watch park football, F.C of Manc should have a descent crowd thus atmosphere and not to bad a level football so a Manc double for today would be on my menu, any way what ever you do have a good one Leigh and don`t forget to let us know where you went and how it went! All very well. But then you have to park the car in Bury and hope it's still there afterwards. |

Never been there so I wouldn`t Know, saying that though haven`t they public transport up north or is that just too dangerous too use? |

In actual fact Bury and North Manchester (Prestbury & Whitely) is quite middle class and always has been, I spent a fortnight in the town whilst I underwent training to work at the Commonwealth Games and was pleasantly surpised at what a nice place it is. So I wouldn't worry about leaving my car there, mind you; what those Old Skool Manc Reds are like when they use Giggle Lane; Gawd only knows! |

In case a certain little lady comes by ~ oh me, oh my" ;D Actually, George Formby came from Wigan, not Bury and played a banjolele if you look closelyl |

Went to FCUofM v Worsop... Excellent ground, great pub before hand and a good game... 2-0 to United.
And the atmosphere...! unreal for a non-league game. How do they make that noise? Nearly the whole crowd singing non-stop at full pelt for the whole duration.
Imagine that at Plainmoor... if only!
Ps, parked car down a side road, was still there when I got back to it!
PPs, friend I was in the pub with was chatting to another bloke and tells him about the Torquay connection, bloke says: 'Torquay United eh? My mate, big Liverpudlian, supports the Gulls. Goes to most games'. Small world....

Chester City FC aren't defunct, they have been expelled from the Conference, or "erased" as the official statement reads. This now opens the way for the fans to put their money where their mouths are and set up their own club and use the council owned stadium. Chester is another town that so ill loved it's football club that it stood idly by some years ago and watched it move to Macclesfield for want of a ground to play in once they sold their decrepit old Sealand Road enclosure before finally allowing them planning permission to build the Deva Stadium stuffed down some industrial estate beside an abattoir! Anyone who's been there will tell you what a souless venue it is and a dire warning to those who would see The Gulls relocate to Barton or some such other out of town retail or industrial park. Like Torquay, Chester is an affluent and rather pretentious tourist centre that has done little if anything at all for it's local professional football club and now the council are crying crocodile tears; but of course saying they won't put a penny piece towards retaining professional football in the city. I wish the few hundred who will actively campaign for a "Pheonix fans led club" to rise from the ashes, but they are in for a long hard road back to respectability. This will be no Aldershot Town or AFC Wimbledon, more like a Boston United if you ask me and hopefully not a Scarborough!
