Alty outplayed by Dragons
Altrincham 1-3 Wrexham
Blue Square Premier; attendance 1,821
Under estimated how cold it would become. Glad when the final whistle came and we could stomp off to the tram station. I know you can leave early but it's not the sort of behaviour a proper football fan should do.. Besides the last five minutes of the game were gripping as Altrincham were fired up after scoring a penalty.
So Saturday afternoon stood on terraces in bright sunshine and freezing air. The stuff of a film set you couldn't have located it better. The old regulars moaning, the young kids easily distracted by the surroundings whilst dad has come to see the local team, the away supporters at the far end doing some singing, and the queue for the refreshments. That queue...it never got below 30 punters even throughout the game. So missed out on coffee and chips. Even got a mascot dressed like an unclassified furry brown mammal with a tail but it is suppose to a robin.
Wrexham scored in the first three minutes and that set the tone for the match. Essentially they played better football in the passing style. Well as much passing style that can happen in the lower divisions as lots of long ball hoofing takes place.
Admission £13; programme £2 (actually 1 and a half programmes - the postponed game programme and an eight page wrap around); tram ticket £2.90; bus fare £1.20.
Had just the one pint of Holts bitter in The Bridge Inn which my mate Dave bought. A small unpretentious public house in need of decorating but would the gaggle of career drinkers milling around appreciate a coat of magnolia paint.
If you have an interest in lower division football then I'd recommend the excellent Altrincham website. It is updated every day, sometimes more and gives a balanced view of happenings in the Blue Square Premier. I check it everyday as a source of football news and the goings on at a sustainable local club.
