disjointed Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 8 hours ago, UsedtobeWozzer said: I went to Chorley v Halifax a couple of years back when we were down south somewhere, mainly due to Pete Wild being Halifax manager. I can confirm there are plenty of pubs. There’s a cracking food offering in the ground (Magpie’s nest) but it’s in the home end so Won’t get to use it. The away end is about 20 yards wide so the chances of getting a ticket are slim. The football is largely irrelevant, as it has been for many years now.

At least the ground is only a 10/15 minute walk from the station and there are a couple of good pubs if you know where to look. Terrible view from the away end though. The owner want to relocate them to an edge of town site called Fosset's Farm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant that night when Curtis Main scored and we won 1-0 to become safe that season, 200 Latics fans roaring us on and the players & Shez responded fully. Got a decent record at Southend - seen us win a few times there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hands on Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 We have to bear in mind that when we do go down it will be our opponents who are playing nobody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were the first team to play the rest of the 92 this season. So we'd have a very good chance for competitive fixtures in the English league system. Think some teams that regularly play in Europe, especially if they've played in different competitions since 1993 would probably beat us overall.

Maybe - but my thinking is that whilst they may have played some of the lower two divs, they won't have played them all. Might be one for The Knowledge!
