PSF away at Alton Royale in the early 90s. Never heard of them before or after, and no idea why we played them. It was somewhere around Birmingham I recall.
Great call. We played them to open their new ground, because Jeff Wealands was friends with the Olton Royale Chairman from his days playing for Birmingham City & living in Solihull.
Mark Carter played in that game for us.
This was the first match of the 1991/2 pre-season & played about a month before John King & Graham Heathcote resigned a week before the start of the season.
Wow, I didn’t know Carter had played in that. Did Showler play too? Must’ve been their only appearance together for Alty.
I wonder if that was a sign of the season that should’ve come. Carter had obviously done his job and made his money from Barnet by getting them promoted. Or to be perfectly honest, not getting us promoted, which I think was Flashman’s plan.
He always struck me as a reluctant league footballer. I wonder what else was planned.
Was the Simon Rudge and Tony Edwards deal put in place by Kingy and just ploughed on with anyway. We certainly needed a right back.
I presume Densmore (Peter) came back as he didn’t drive and had always car shared with Gary Anderson.
At the very least I think we should’ve had the early 90s that Runcorn had with McKenna, Shaw and Anderson (?) in their side if not the one Barnet and Bury had with Showler and Daws.
