Lancaster City away nine weeks on Saturday.
It'll soon come round won't it? 😊😊👍

Assume we'll do our usual double header with West and Wythenshawe, and Trafford - would be good to try a couple new grounds such as Amateurs rather than Town (who are more Gatley than Wythenshawe) and also some slightly more far flung place like Avro.
I'm not fussed about playing behind closed doors against youth teams, unless we're eyeing up loanees - games against Stockport / Salford should provide tough tests as long as they bring their Firsts.

Just as a matter of minor interest I went to Erikstan Park yesterday to watch my younger son Alex play in a league cup final for AFC Didsbury; in goal against Romiley FC. AFC Didsbury won the game 2-0, Alex I am pleased to say saved a penalty. Like me in my younger days he is a pretty reasonable goalkeeper, but Alex went further than I did. I guess the Mark 2 is always an improvement on the Mark 1.
It was a nice ground but what impressed me more was their bar and clubhouse. Lovely room with a large TV, decent pint of Wainwright's and great band of Pork Scratchings too!! Very friendly club, only one mile from where I live in Brooklands. Will defo be there for the Alty friendly.

Fancy a fleetwood at home and the obligatory behind closed doors Huddersfield away

Could be nice to do Warrington town or curzon given the amount of ex alty?

I used to go there some Saturdays when Alty away when the 'social club' was known locally as the Chicken Shed. Most people in there playing pool, watching Sky and betting on the horse racing. One hundred and fifty inside sampling beer and burgers.....25 outside watching live football......it was a decent place for an afternoon of sport
