Last game there were four of us watching a hard fought battle on the pitch and enjoying good company - - -what I missed last season.
Some of those hot dogs with running red sauce are messy but not to be missed glad you liked Stephen.

Thanks, Nigel. A good read. I've been to a fair few non-league games where there's a lot of the same atmosphere but no chance of a crusty pie. Just a possibly live hot dog and a sugar spoon shared about 100 times. All good memories though.

I think at the moment we seem to be buying more and more players at a higher level. They will have to play as a team and the manager will be safe.
I fear for the Newcastle manager his job is on the line with the team on a poor run.

Always like a football poem, Nigel. I even have one about Stockport myself, though it's not like this one. I hope the new owners don't go in for dismemberment or torture, or I wouldn't fancy being the manager. As for Newcastle ... from Northern Rock and Wonga, to Mike Ashley and the Saudis.
