Full Time Score from The NetDec Stadium
Witton Albion 5 Brighouse Town 2.
Witton now travel to Colwyn Bay in the First Qualifying Round on Saturday, 29th October after the Seagulls overcame Hyde United 1-0 this afternoon.
Another superb display from this team that keeps delivering ! Rob Hopley lead the line brilliantly and is a striker to be proud of, the midield worked its socks off more than matching Brighouse, Billy Reeves gets better with each game, and with missing Gards and Prince this was a great allround display against a good side, score could have been 7-4 it was that open ! wonderful to watch really so many fans missing out on one of the best Albion teams in years-MOM has to be Rob Hopley. UTA
:clap bowdown
Andrew Simpson indicated after the match that Prince Haywood was suspended. I know he was getting close to it but, I was under the impression that he had only received four yellow cards and was one booking away.
YES He was definitely suspended.
Heard he got suspended on purpose, so that he could enjoy a nice little holiday. :whistle:
Oh come on 2 trains no bus.that last card for Prince was a refereeing decision that could be described as a pretty random decision at best. To make a call (even tongue in cheek) that a player deliberately gets booked to go on hols is really a bit below the belt and I think tarnishes a team with a strong ethic to work for each other as we saw today - a brilliant overall team performance lead by a majestic Mr Hopley !
What can I say, what a great team we have. Superb result against a decent side. Super Rob Hopley is unreal, best striker we have had in ages. Superb UTA!

I think it may have gone over your head, never mind your belt.
Prince was suspended today and was at the game. He did the warm ul and watched the game. People need get behind the lads not on there backs
Lets move on, 2Trains was joking!! No one is getting on anyone’s back. Great result great team Keep it going lads!
Really enjoyed today’s game, can’t help but be impressed by the fitness and workrate of this team. A few dodgy moments at the back, but a thoroughly deserved win. IMO Matty Devine is the best left back i’ve seen here for a long time. I know its early doors, but if Brighouse are top of the North league, it seems like we have been placed in the tougher of the two. Well done Rob on your hat trick and well done to the rest of the team and management. Looking forward to a new ground next match at Bedworth.(2 Trains, a bit of a walk).
A great team performance got us a well deserved result. The spirit and enthusiasm of this team is amazing, they just keep working and running throughout the whole 90 minutes. Pity the gate was so disappointing, the stay aways don’t realise what they are missing. UTA
the more I watch this team the more impressed I am, work rate is first class and the team work is so impressive. the never say die attitude is first class. Carl has brought together a team of fighters that will only improve as the season progresses. Well done to all the management team and all who work unheralded on behalf of the club. bowdown . I believe this team if we can all support it and work together will go down as one of our best squads, there is room for improvement yes, but so far they have delivered on the pitch, it is up to us fans to fully support them through the next phase of the season. We will lose a few games and the players will learnt from that, but I haven’t as yet seen a team better than us. I truly hope Witton will hopefully be promoted this year and if not it will not be down to the effort of Carl and his squad, well done guys, very proud 57 yr old Wittoner UTA :clap
as for the crowd, They will come in time ‘build it and they will come’
I’ve only got two complaints about today’s performance and it’s nothing to do with the team. At 5-1 up against a very good side people were still moaning about poor passing and “he should have been there or should have done that”.
Come on people we’re Witton Albion not Europe’s elite. I got home in time to watch the England game and I was bored to death.
As others keep saying the stay away fans should come and watch a game because they won’t be disappointed.

Hi Damage, trust me no one who is going the game is getting on the players only heard praise for the lads and what the mgt have done this season, dont forget we have a small faction on the forum who will still have a dig because of issues with the board but this team deserves and is fully appreciated by the fans who are going to the games IMO so as ever UTA
Thanks cj this team of lads are a great bunch of boys.there is a good mixs of lads with skill and others who are determined to win at all cost .they want and believe they can win this league.so its good to see so many loyal fans backing them .may this continue UTA
I can’t wait to get back there. I’m missing out on so much but I’ll always support the lads.
[quote=“WHEELS” post=66718]I can’t wait to get back there. I’m missing out on so much but I’ll always support the lads.[/quote] Where are we up to on getting you back at the matches? I seem to remember a Wheels fund a while back, is that still going? Thanks for all your news and update postings on here, you do a great job which is much appreciated by all on here.
What is the problem Wheels, is it just finance?
