Just a point for FC United
FC United 2-2 Radcliffe Borough att: 2149
Unibond League Division1 North
Goin to Gigg Lane : Pies & Flasks from biffadigital on Vimeo.
The tram was nearly empty on the way to Bury and only a few people about. Thought I'd got the fixture date wrong or the game had been called off. It's only when I got down to The Staff of Life near the ground that I saw a red scarf. Shakey start by FC and it was no surprise when Radcliffe went ahead. All FC could reply with were long high balls into the wind to hit their four tall defenders. Second half was a little brighter. FC came straight out and equalised after about a minutes. When they started passing to feet it looked promising. But it was not to be, Radcliffe went ahead again and after that it was chasing the game.
Last five minutes was the best bit of the match, pressure on for a winner. Strangest moment - for about five minutes watching a game in bright sunshine with the floodlights on. Black cloud turned up to deliver a shower.
Used Manchester's expensive and barely intergrated transport system again. This involves a sprint to swop to the Altrincham tram, a power walk and use of an mp3 player to relieve the tedium of travel.
Cost : Admission 7.50; programme 2.00; cup of tea 1.50 - dreadful; draw ticket 1.00 - never win; tram 2.70 - metro saver - cheaper than a return; bus 1.30 - No. 23 Stretford - Chorlton; text service to find the time of the next bus 25p and i thought it was a free service but apparently not. Game 13, £16.25. Not including snacks.
