Horwich Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 For anyone not going to Arsenal on Saturday, Chorley FC have a big match at home to AFC Fylde. They are expecting a big crowd for this game between two of the title favourites. I went watching Chorley last night (Biffo was there too) and Gary Flitcroft has got them playing some amazing football. They won 5-2 and it could easily have been 5 more. I think its only ?3.50 to get in if you take your BWFC season ticket. They also have offers for kids. If your not doing anything on Saturday, get down to Victory Park, you really really enjoy some quality football at a proper non-league ground.
athywhite1958 Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 Alternatively, if you live over this neck of the woods [Atherton] the Colls are at home against Chadderton, Colls went top of the league on Monday night after stuffing Darwen 7-0. As Horwich says, quality football at a proper non league ground
Rembrandt Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 Was at Victory Park last night as well. Amazing attacking football in the first hour ..... before Chorley declared at 5-1 ahead. And Prescot were no mugs. That's 6-0, 6-2, 4-1 and 5-2 in the first 4 league games. But ....... I fancy an FA Cup tie on Saturday.

As Horwich says, quality football at a proper non league ground Alder house has got to be the biggest hole in the Bolton area, however it does please me to see Colls doing well.
peebles Posted September 11, 2010 Posted September 11, 2010 Went today with 3 kids for ?3.50. Great value. Fancy a trip on the train involving beer next time.
athywhite1958 Posted September 11, 2010 Posted September 11, 2010 Alder house has got to be the biggest hole in the Bolton area, however it does please me to see Colls doing well. Not a clue why you say that, but it takes all sorts. Anyway, Colls won today 3 - 1 against a potential title cotender, good game, good football, good crack and good beer
Rembrandt Posted September 12, 2010 Posted September 12, 2010 Took a trip 'abroad' for an FA Cup tie ........ Frickley Athletic (nee Colliery). See-saw game ending 3-2 to the home side as Kendal Town (nee Netherfield) blew it late on. Great chips & gravy ! And if you think Lancashire has some God-forsaken corners, try 'God's own county'.

Anyway, Colls won today 3 - 1 against a potential title cotender, good game, good football, good crack and good beer I played for Colls a few years back & it was horrible place then, returned a few times fairly recently to play them in the Hospital cup & Goldline & yes nothings changed it's still horrible from the changing rooms, sloping pitch & mouldy club house. Don't mean to be offensive about it really but LR is only a tad better. Edited September 12, 2010 by Ands1

Don't mean to be offensive about it really but LR is only a tad better. I played for the Colls 37 years ago and the set up is pretty much the same now, horrible - no, it is a crackin friendly club with some folk who were there when I played still working hard for the place, it is a sad fact of life that the local scrotes break in regularly and undo any work that has been done meaning any 'spare' cash goes on repairing the damages done by the said scrotes. I also played for LR many years ago and I preferred the Colls Edited September 13, 2010 by athywhite1958

I also played for LR many years ago and I preferred the Colls When I said "horrible" no way did I mean the people who work there, just the pitch & facilities let the place down. Admitadly it's a sad fact of life that the youth of today take pleasure in dismantling or destroying any work done to make something look good. I had a good time with Colls Jimmy (forgot his surname) in his wheel chair whacking you with his walking stick telling you you were shit today etc Painey flying round the pitch in his Cavalier with the roller on the tow bar. Calor gas heaters in the corner of the clubhouse / changing rooms... Happy days me thinks.
beer_swiller Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 It`s a crying shame for Atherton colls, each time they get some form of grant some scroat comes along and vandalises the place. What really should be allowed is for a tower to be built in the vacinity of alder house with a rocket launcher and sub machine guns, any potential vandals would then be taken out simples.
Horwich Posted September 17, 2010 Author Posted September 17, 2010 I'm off to Chester vs Chorley tomorrow. Give us a shout if anyone else is going.

Horwich Posted September 19, 2010 Author Posted September 19, 2010 (edited) Cracking game at Chester yesterday. If you are not doing anything and chorley are playing, get down! Edited September 19, 2010 by Horwich

Rembrandt Posted September 19, 2010 Posted September 19, 2010 I was away for a few days. Got to Stenhousemuir-Forfar yesterday. Decent match. No chips though - just burgers & odd pies. Agree about Chorley - get along to Victory Park sometime soon.

Horwich Posted September 20, 2010 Author Posted September 20, 2010 Glory hunter! Where were you when Chorley were shit. I hope you weren't one of the pitch invaders. I was watching Horwich Genesis, just like in the 80s when Chorley nicked all Horwich's best players. I'll be there Saturday. Chester food was shit. Pot noodles or ball all else.
Rembrandt Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Next Saturday Chorley are at home to Durham City. I predict Chorley scoring 10(ten) goals. Ah, but it's FA Cup day again on Saturday ..... and Chorley fooked it up at Salford in an earlier round. Anyway, Durham aren't the walk-over they were last season. 10 might be optimistic.
leigh white Posted September 21, 2010 Posted September 21, 2010 Off to Skem tonight to see the Leythers in the Presidents Cup, i hope its a nice clubhouse.
leigh white Posted September 21, 2010 Posted September 21, 2010 Next Saturday Chorley are at home to Durham City. I predict Chorley scoring 10(ten) goals. Just look out for the FA Cup results on Saturday Biff, sorry i forgot your team wont be taking part.
Guest Biff Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 Just look out for the FA Cup results on Saturday Biff, sorry i forgot your team wont be taking part. Chorley are a big team these days and like all top teams don't play their first team in Micky Mouse cups. We're gonna win the league.
