22nd September Preview ..... ish .....


Tomorrow sees Mossley @ home to Ossett Albion - a shame really as I can't re-use my joke about that famous beat combo from Manchester called "James" who did that wonderful non-league football anthem which went something like ..."Ossett Town Ossett Town Ossett Town - sit down next to me". Doesn't really work with the word "Albion".

Droylsden have a "biggie" tomorrow with their trip to Altrincham - a good public transport jobbie - and a real basement battle as well.

Curzon Ashton entertain the "Brazilians" (HA !!) from Garforth Town (who incidentally beat Ossett last weekend... hmmm....).

Ashton United are at home to Frickley (who will be parading their new signing Neil Redfearn - which for those "in the know" is an anagram of "reindeer flan").

Stalybridge Celtic are at home to Hinckley United - and true to fixture organising (a 'kin joke !!) you also find that Hyde entertain AFC Telford tomorrow - and seem to have gone well over the top with segregation, temporary gun towers in each corner of the ground, sniffer dogs, chaps with sticks that go "weee wooo" when rubbed up and down your body - I trust the Telford beer crew will either take in the Stalybridge Buffet Bar before heading off to the "Sportsman" in Hyde rather than chancing the "Phoenix Nights" atmosphere that is Hyde's Social Club (although as part of the segregation the away team seem to have free run of the place tomorrow). Yep - anyone would think they were playing FC United of Manchester !!! Oh - Telford fans - be careful at Newton Station - they have gun-toting kiddies there y'know ....and we're talking AK47/Kalashnikov, not spud gun ........

So - of the Six Tame Sides - five are at home tomorrow.....next week no doubt there'll be no choice for the "non-travellers" I'm sure - I'm not looking at any fixture lists because naturally - "I take each game as it comes ....!"

Just remembered - I don't do previews ....see elsewhere....let's see what the weather brings as well ...

I don't mean to be unkind but is that THE Neil Redfearn,previously of Oldham,Barnsley,Halifax,Wigan and more or less every club in Lancashire and Yorkshire? He must be pushing 50!
