So did the game go ahead? Some of you may think.
The answer.....yes, and what a match it was.
Credit goes to all the players. A patched up team which officially gave the go ahead only a week ago, saw us go down 5-3 to the Port Vale fans.
These players didn't know each other, but still tried to play like a team and to go down 5-3 to a team who turned up as if they were professionals is a damn good result. The look on our faces when the PV lot started changing into their full kit
.
We already have a return match agreed when we play away at Port Vale, hopefully the team will be in full flow by then.
What we are aiming for is to play away teams maybe once a month. So all those who want the pub before hand (like me), give the pub a miss for one game a month.
Once we have another game sorted, then a get together can be arranged two weeks before hand, and tactics can be sorted.
Once again, thanks to all those who turned up. I know it wasn't properly arranged, but this being the first game, things can only get better. Also a big thanks to Port Vale for being worthy opponents.
