Poynton ram Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Went to watch my local team Macclesfield Town play Port Vale today with no rams game on. Local Derby, all ticket with the Port Vale manager John Askey absolutely idolised by the Macc fans from when he was manager and player at Macc. More Vale fans than Macc fans so decent atmosphere. Macc's financial issues are well documented and they don't have a shirt sponsor. Quite ironic that our Wayne has a £20m house about 4 miles away in Prestbury, home to a number of footballers and a very affluent area. Really good end to end action with Macc coming from behind to win 2>1 Everyone got searched going in - elderly couple in front of me not impressed about being frisked and on the basis both husband and wife were well into their 70s they had a point. Flair went off near us in the first half, don't think it was them. This is real grass roots football, and enjoyable. £15 for me £5 for my 16 year old lad I know today was non league day, anybody else go along to watch a match and enjoy it?

TimRam Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I watch my local non-league team. Hardly ever a bad game. 5-5 the other week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they play the "Macc lads" songs on the tannoy?? Love Macclesfields ground, Played there once in my youth in a school cup final and went to a game when they played Stafford Rangers in the Northern Premier League a lifetime ago. There used to be a factory close to the ground where they made football club cloth badges, the ones you used to sew on to shirts I seem to remember. Their nickname is the Silkmen and I think it was due to the factories near the ground? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Why go watch league two when you can see league 2 defending every week at pride park ? (and following england away, for that matter!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went to Peterborough v Lincoln and I have posted about it in another thread. I know it's only one league below us but it was a bit pricey £26 for me and £21 for my hubby (over 65). Definitely not grass roots but seemed a bit more friendly around the ground pre kick off - 3,000 Lincoln fans around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith Happens Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Not seen lower league football for a while. Must make a mental note to ask my Forest and Leeds mates what its like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Having watched a number of Grimsby games and been to a few Derby U23 games this season, I would say the U23s level is on par, if not slightly better at times than League 2. It does lack the atmosphere though, but you get the added interest watching potential first team players. Get yourself down to these games.

SKRam Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Stockport County are my local side, not been to see them in many a year but I’m pleased they are on the up again with County legend Jim Gannon. I always check Forest Green Rovers as I’m a huge fan of their ethics, determined to see them this season. Really pleased they’re progressing well. Oh and Harrogate Town as it’s a lovely place and has one of my all time favourite drinking establishments ....... This philosophy helps ease the pain of a defeat for us...... my ‘other’ teams ??

Monkeytennis12345 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I went to watch this 'classic' earlier this year whilst up in Musselburgh, Two red cards, 7 goals, possibly the worst decision I've sever seen by a Linesman and the opposition 'keeper waiting for the 'said' linesman after the match. 350 were there and it was well worth the £5 admission. https://www.musselburghathleticfc.co.uk/videos/musselburgh-athletic-52-newtongrange-star-1622019-142895.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
