With the football season over prematurely due to the Coronavirus Pandemic I’m in the unusual position of actually having this blog up to date! So to keep the content coming, and for something to do, I’ll do some old grounds and games where there’s a story to tell.

Northern Premier League Premier Division

BUXTON 2 (Reed 62 Morris 90)

ASHTON UNITED 0

Att 312

Entry £8

Programme £1.50

Quite deliberately I’ve made these archive offerings about either grounds you can’t visit anymore or represent some sort of personal milestone. This isn’t one, far from it.

FA Cup 3rd Qualifying Round

F.C. UNITED OF MANCHESTER 1 (Greaves 79)

BUXTON 1 (Burrell 45) Belezika sent off 85 (2nd booking)

Att 2,357

Entry (all areas) £9

Programme £2

When you think about it, it is easy to protest, “I’m against…” or “I’m anti..” but far more difficult to actually do something concrete about it. In time I suspect the great achievement of FC United will be turning all that anger into something far more positive. Continue reading →
