Here comes autumn - a "customer's garden" this morning
... well it all began about 0530 this morning with a couple of bowls of brekkie before getting to work about 0630 - another gale force windy day in Oldham, so it was "hold on tight to your bundle" !! Finished work about 1215 and then it was straight down to Lincoln for the football this afternoon (via garage for petrol and butty !) Arrived at the ground about 1445 and snatched the last place in the car park. A quick peep in the very well-appointed Social Club (loads of rooms, TV and Greene King IPA on handpump) before shelling out a princely fiver - bargain - for some football.
The game - Mossley took the lead through a Ben Richardson screamer, before (in my eyes) sitting back a bit on this slender lead - fatal (but not terminal !) in the end. After the equaliser (an unfortunate "howler" from the usually reliable Peter Collinge), Mossley upped it a bit and were unfortunate not to grab a winner, but - like everyone else - a replay is far preferable to a long journey home after a defeat ! So it's Tuesday night at Seel Park - and by then of course we'll know who lies in wait in the 4th Qualifying Round. Some (not brill) pictures from today at
Lincoln Moorlands Railway 1 Mossley 1 (FA Cup)
After negotiating the nightmare traffic out of the Lincoln area, it was foot down up the A1/M18/M1 etc arriving home not long after seven. Eat food, fiddle with photos, check out scores (both Stalybridge Celtic and Droylsden got through their FA Cup ties at Warrington and Ashington respectively), quick hour's "nod off" in chair - and now this - the 20 hour day is coming to a close ...
(still going for a walk tomorrow - plan is up around the hills above Derwent Reservoir ...)
