Hello there,
Doesn't time fly? Anyway, it's that time of the season for the visit of the once mighty now sh*te York City to Moss Lane, Altrincham FC.
Myself and a mate of mine have taken the day off and are intending to roll into Manchester the lunchtime side of 2pm before heading to sunny Altrincham for a low-key pub crawl around the town. We will obviously be starting at the pub opposite the station (mainly to check if my City scarf is still there) and going on from there, aiming for the bar at Moss Lane probably around 7pm.
Clearly you are all invited to join us whenever you are available, as some of you probably have jobs and stuff and so can't come out to play until 5pm.
Also, if any of you steward types who post on here fancy slipping me a couple of crafty passes to get into the bar at half-time that would be most kind of you, I promise not to start a fight with Hughesy or Ballers (we will be 2-0 up so they might be a little bit upset) and will be nice as pie. After all, I do sponsor your pitch so I am, in effect, a VIP!
After the match, unless we have been completely humilated to the tune of 4 or 5 (possible), we will be hanging around for a few pints before heading into Manchester and then getting the train at quarter past 1am.
See you on Tuesday.
