Didn't go game or watch it , decided instead to get a local Derby game in, 1st in the league versus 2nd in the league....a proper no holds barred, blood & thunder game, namely ......
Ashton Town v St.Helens Town. The game survived an early pitch inspection & in any other league the game wouldn't have gone ahead as it was a throw back to the early 70's pitch which resembled a ploughed field. At a reasonable £6 entry there was a decent crowd on & the football on show was old skool, plenty of full on tackles & only lacking in goals. The joy of being able to watch a game whilst supping a pint was a novel feeling & the food available at the 'Dug Out' puts the DW to shame. The game was enjoyable despite it ending in a nil nil draw but with a bit of an edge to it.....will definitely give it another go when we're away from home n unable to make the game.
Oh n onto our game....seems like I didn't miss too much but glad we were able to bag another 3 points.
