I decided to pop off and see Redditch as they are my local non-league team, £3 return on train and £5 to get in. This may have been the last time i ever see this team as they may go into liquidation. The ground, tbh wasnt too poor, they had a capacity of 5000 with 400 seats. The total attendance to the game was 201, so im glad me and my friends attended to put it over the 200 mark. There was a female ref who put up with a lot of banter from the die hard 20 fans of redditch but was all in good nature, there was no bad language spoken by any of the fans, the only people to swear were the opposition Manager and players. Hyde scored early on from a dubious penalty decision for what can only be described as a shirt pull. The players seemed very poor even for this level, and there wernt as many bad /hard tackles as you would expect from a lower league. The final score 1-0 to hyde, with redditch bottom of the table by atleast 9 points clear i think All in all i enjoyed my day out, and may pop round to see my other local teams Hinckley and Worscter and Sollihull moors. Also how to add pictures please  |

Thanks for getting the pictures up, looks a tidy enough ground, seems a bit expensive at £9, but I guess thats just the going rate these days for lower league football.

She was quite pretty, but as i said the picture did not do her justice, the fans were trying to get her number and when she booked a redditch player they told her the evening meal was off
Was only £5 for me to get in, not sure about the other teams i mentioned above

Thanks for getting the pictures up, looks a tidy enough ground, seems a bit expensive at £9, but I guess thats just the going rate these days for lower league football. 9 quid is cheaper than some Isthmian league grounds I've been to. Although today I paid £9.50 to watch Kingstonian play Croydon Athletic. I was one of 316 poor souls rattling around in the ground where AFC Wimbledon cram in almost 10 times that amount. Nice to see some more Blue Square grounds. Do you get to see Bromsgrove play that much? I guess you've got Alvechurch up the road famous for being the Birthplace of Alan Smith (the Leicester City and Arsenal forward) and that mad blond bint Tracie Andrews who killed her boyfriend and blamed it on a Road Rage killer when it was her all along. I also see that Alvechurch FC have a certain Charisma Agbonlahor. Surely he's related to the Aston Villa striker Gaby, who has rather more pace than charisma I would imagine. |
