george Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 (edited) The reserves won 3-2 at Stockport on penalties and will play Man Utd in the Final. Hopefully it will be at somewhere in Greater Manchester rather than United's "home ground" in Northwich. http://www.bwfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/Gener...1303681,00.html Apparantly last season's final was played in May at Old Trafford Edited May 1, 2008 by george
Rembrandt Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 Talking of Northwich, anyone else been to the Vics or Witton Albion's grounds ? Almost next to each other in the middle of the salt works a few miles outside Northwich. Makes the Reebok look positively cosy & local.

Seated stand on one side of the pitch and a covered standing terrace on the other. Holds about 10,000. The stewards are humourless prats though.

Went to Witton Albion when we played them in the cup a few years ago - nice little purpose built non-league ground
Smiley Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 (edited) Went to Witton Albion when we played them in the cup a few years ago - nice little purpose built non-league ground like November 1990 is a few years ago. Edited May 2, 2008 by Smiley

YATESY Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 like November 1990 is a few years ago. Grat photo Smiley. me and mi Dad are on there too
Sweep Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 Was my first ever visit to a non league ground as well. Looking at the crowd though, it looks more like 1890, than 1990. Front row, four to the left of the post..............Albert Tatlock

Front row, four to the left of the post..............Albert Tatlock I had curtains! Was a good day out...... went pear-shaped that evening as I met the future Mrs Smiley!! haha! And the day after Benn fought Eubank in one of those classics. Match was featured on MOTD that night - had it on video for years (same tape had Transvision Vamp playing TOTP with Wendy James (?) in sussies)......... oh how the memories fade! (can't find evidence on You Tube).

Leyther_Matt Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 Northwich is a decent little ground. Seated stand on one side of the pitch and a covered standing terrace on the other. Holds about 10,000. The stewards are humourless prats though. No chance, 4,500 at the very most - nowt behind the goals and would imagine the seated stand only holds about 1,500 while the terrace along the side is actually their old one from Drill Field that they brought with them to the new stadium. Still meant they had to play at Witton for a year though (the far superior ground, purely because it actually has a social club), went there to watch RMI one New Years Day where it got abandoned at half-time after the pitch gradually became a lake during the first half.

Still got the video that has faded quite a bit as well. Picture of Phil Neal jumping out of the dug-out at the end like we had just won the Cup.
Mike Hunt Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 anyone else sit on the top of that wall at the back load of coppers round the back - one lad I was with decided he needed a piss and couldn't be bothered moving from his vantage point, so pissed through the gap and splashed a copper!

Wikipedia's great, isn't it?
Leyther_Matt Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 Wikipedia's great, isn't it? Dead right Only been to Vics' new place the once in 04/05 when they were still in Conf North but I wasn't a fan at all - the reason they only have a couple of steps behind the goal is that they would need a different certificate because the capacity would then be raised above 5,000.
george Posted May 6, 2008 Author Posted May 6, 2008 The Trotters visit Old Trafford on Monday, 12 May (KO 19:30 BST) after finishing second in the competition's group stage. United topped the group with five straight victories, including a narrow 3-2 triumph over Bolton in February. Tickets are available at Old Trafford on Monday evening, costing ?5 for adults and ?2 for concessions.
