Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Salisbury next week
« on: October 03, 2008, 08:01:04 AM »I don't wish to teach people to suck eggs here but if anyone hasn't been to Salisbury before the ground is WAAAY out of town. Needs a cab /lift or infrequent bus....not from outside, a walk up to the main road. That train home could be tight. Just for info, don't wish to deter anyone.
Terrible waste of a Saturday drinking fixture.
Oh, we went last year SW, well aware just how bloody far the ground is from town/the station. I do like a nice local Tuesday night fixture.
I'm driving up from Pompey so I'll be passing the station (give or take). Was hoping to persuade a mate or two to come along but if that doesn't happen then I'll happily to pick up two or three on the way through.
Should know what's happening by Saturday.I'm also driving to the game with an empty car and would happily offer a lift to the station to up to 4 - of course none of you know who I am (as I've been an exile since 1977 aged 5) but you'll just have to guess!
Thank you both for those very kind offers, we may have to take you up on it on the way back certainly. I will be with London Alty's 'top boys', just listen out for the big Scottish bloke and you'll notice us from there. I would mention famed BBC radio guru Laurence Howarth too but he gets black marks for failing to identify fellow luvvie Derek Jacobi (Cadfael) in the pub we watched the Rushden game in the other night.
Right, first of all, I didn't actually see him. He'd left by the time I got there. If I'd seen SIR Derek Jacobi (I, Claudius), I would definitely have recognised him. So what I'm getting black marks for is failing to realise who you and Rocky were talking about from the clues given to me - those clues being 'he was a bloke' and 'called Derek... something?'. I think I'll live with that ignominy.
