The ground was on par with Stamford but with temporary stands that had now been passed as permanent.No smoking was allowed on bit open structure stands! although this was the only bit of jobsworth we encountered all day. The clubhouse was dowdy, but welcoming with good pricing The food looked ok,lots of gravy flowing.Comments varied on the quality.
The game started off scrappy in poor conditions on a pitch that had a good slope on it which the northern linnets used well in the first half. Howie decided that catching the ball was not allowed in the first ten minutes and flattered the home side with some fumbles.
When we eventually woke up and still had no idea of the formation that had been decided in the raffle before the game. Jack as a lone striker ? You really are having a laugh Keithy Boy.
Jack then decided that his back was not in it today and went off for some peas and gravy leaving JJ the ex league central striker wonder to enter the fray as an attacking right midfielder!
Mr Frew carrying on from last week continued to punch above his weight for the whole game and earned the corner that the Crane got up for to enable Weaver to blast through the roof from 1 yard.The rest of the first half was spent too-ing and frow-ing.
The second half consisted of two halves with the northern side dominating and getting a deserved goal although there was a clear foul in the build up. during the first period and then us dominating the last 20 minutes.
All in all not a bad start with the positives of Frew,DB and the midfield.
Negatives are that we look a bit cart horse like at the back and Joe Francis is not fit by a Ipswich mile.
The sweepstake on the first moan of the game was won in 30 seconds for the odd team selection and a hat trick achieved in 3 minutes.I am sure some of these guys have female hormones rushing through their veins.
Finally, Good chips in the Burscough High street.
As a footnote - Cheers for the Beer Lads.
