So it was off to Shawe View in Flixton to see if Trafford FC can progress in the FA Cup. A goal up after 18 minutes and it looked promising. This meant I didn't win "the time of the first goal competition" as I had 37 minutes. For those who have never done grassroots football - you pay a quid and get a piece of paper with a number from 1 thru 90 and either an A (away team) or H (home team) printed on it. That's 179-1 odds no wonder I've never won.

Stocksbridge had brought along about 20 supporters and they soon had something to cheer about. When 3-1 up the looked like having a comfortable win. But a Trafford come back got it back to 3-2. But a breakway goal from Stocksbridge put an end to it. Even managed to get two goals on video.

Game 39: Admission £6, first goal ticket £1, tea 50p. No transport costs as got a lift from the man next door. No programme bought.
