You've scored no goals and no passes
Altrincham 0-0 Salisbury City
Blue Square Conference National: attendance 1002
The FC United v. Eastwood Town match was called off after an early morning pitch inspection. I thought it would be after yesterday's rain, so I plumped for this match. A quick check on the Altrincham website "despite the week's downpours, today's match at Moss Lane is definitely on; it has been a dry morning in Altrincham so far". It turned out to be a bright sunny day. Pity about the football.
It was a tiresome long ball game, big kicks up field, long throw ins, bouts of head tennis. I thought whoever can string 5 passes together is going to win it. Alty came close in the first half with three good attempts on goal - a wide, a save, over the bar. Second half Salisbury got within striking range.
Sat in the main stand for the first half. Less leg room than at Old Trafford, which is a bit silly considering how big and empty the ground is. Stretched my legs at half time and had a look inside the Robins Shop which is inside the ground. Besides the usual shirts and photos on offer there was an old programme stall. Plenty of old Manchester United programmes, and lots & lots of other clubs too. Didn't have any cash so didn't ask the prices.
Stood up in the second half in the sunshine. Prior to the game I thought top of the table Salisbury would win with 4 goals. Yet neither side looked like getting a winner unless it would be by luck.
Game 36; admission £12, tram fare £3, bus fare £1.40. Cheese and onion pie £1.40 from the fantastic Fish & Chip opposite the ground. Brought my own half time snacks - Twix bar, organic banana, organic hot chocolate in a small flask.
