It looks good inside - excellent facilities - with a nice bar as well (no smoking but hey - I can cope - maybe that's why there were only a dozen peeps in there before kick-off)
The Stand at Curzon
The other side - count the fans !Anyway - to the game - after a fairly even first 10 minutes, a "good spot" by the ref (some may say harsh but..) gave Curzon a penalty which Mike Norton duly despatched. Once the ball went in though the tannoy blasted out "I Feel Good" by James Brown - AARGH !
Curzon were starting to get on top despite big Barrie Massey missing a good chance for an equaliser on 25 mins - and five minutes later a "route one" ball gave Steve Moores the chance to make it 2-0
Steve Moores makes it 2-0Just before half-time Rio Nelson got the ball - he ran - he ran - he cut inside - he got a lucky deflection back to him - and made it 3-0 - persistence !! And at half-time the plastic tunnel was unveiled ....
Might have been 3-0 but the half-time bar still seemed very sombre !
Stood watching the second half at the top of the stand - great view (sort of thing Mossley can only dream of !) and within a minute of the restart Mike Norton got another "lucky break" on the edge of the box to make it 4-0 - a lucky break maybe, but you've got to take them !
10 minutes on and Atherton got a penalty - at least the ref saw it because no bugger else did ! Justice was done as it was duly screwed wide.
About 15 from the end Moores made it 5-0 after good work in the box by Nelson and 8 minutes later the Atherton keeper shouted "keeper !" - missed it and Mike Norton said "thanks very much" - 6-0.
Close to the end Curzon keeper Ashley Timms made a great save to keep his clean sheet and the ball went straight down the other end for Moores to make it 7-0.
What can you say after watching that ? very very impressive indeed - and this against a side who had a W2 D2 L1 record before tonight. The pitch - similarly impressed - despite the rain we've had over the last few days, it seemed quite firm, with a bit of bounce in it.
I've got to be honest - if Curzon keep playing like that - they should start to drag fans through the gate - no idea what the attendance was tonight but it must have been under 150 - they deserve more. And having finally seen the ground "from within"...well if only... Even so I'm now looking forward to my future trips to Curzon - their "biggie" against FC United of Bury (sorry Manchester) is on 18th September - now that will fill the popular side ! On tonight's showing though I reckon they'll give 'em a good game..
One point - lose the bloody music after each goal - James Brown x 7 was tooooooo much !!
