Straight away, yet again, we have a league fixture postponed due to the inadequacies of the various County F.A.'s and respective leagues to leave the week free. A few years back all the County fixtures were scheduled for the same week but not any more. Thus we are given a fixture, at Nantwich Town this time around, knowing full well that it’ll get put back.
Grouch over, those with a fairly good memory will recall us playing Cheadle in this competition a few years back. It was in fact in November 1990 when we enjoyed, eventually, the 3-1 victory. It came the Saturday after Bolton Wanderers had played us in front of a 3,790 crowd. Slightly less at Cheadle, 220, saw Mark Edwards score twice with an o.g. thrown in for good measure.
Mighty nice of them to have their matches on a Wednesday as I land back at Manchester Airport, from yes another wee break, mid-afternoon.
:dry: Doesn’t the venue for the Final usually depend upon who gets through to the Final, i.e. only when that’s determined, do the Cheshire FA then choose a neutral venue?
