Another good listen, I do like a Matt Dean rant.

I think what you end up using the money you raise for isn't (yet) the big issue here. The more immediate one is of how you acquire some leverage.

I endorse all that was said about Salford City - a latter day Fleetwood Town, really. And they(Fleetwood)  are now on the long, slow road back to where they came from. Crowds dwindling, chairman in grave danger of going to jail, over £20m  in debt (most of which is owed to said owner) and losing money at the rate of around £55k per week. 

I agree your best target is Barrow. Especially now they have made such a disastrous managerial appointment. Panic, pure and simple.

It's not been my week on here, has it? 

At the risk of being predictable - St. David's (right outside the station) is as good as anywhere for a drink (three pubs to choose from I think), and last time we were there we were able to  jump on a local service to St. James' that drops you off pretty close to the away end. So close, in fact, that at the end of the game we were able to catch the 5.05 back to town despite the game not finishing until 4.58!

What is this 'lager' of which you speak?  

My inner sense of decency tells me 'tis but a foul rumour, sirrah. A beverage for those lacking discernment, surely.

Just the latest in a string of quality posts from you, Basil. The Wellington is an absolute gem and well worth visiting.

Why thank you Worcester. You can call me Robbie. 

I've been in the Saddler's Club a couple of times and it really wasn't any great shakes, even if it was convenient (30 yards from the away turnstiles).

The last couple of times we went there we did our drinking in the Wellington on Bennett's Hill in Brum. It is less than five minutes walk from New Street and if you like real ale you'll think you've died and gone to heaven. I'm not sure whether they sell lager or not.
