You were quite insistent mate!

Turning up at the wrong ground can be quite a big error ........ as it was for Brechin's? goalie who travelled 80 miles to the wrong location. And I seem to have spent quite a bit of my youth seeking out Hope Valley league grounds when new teams came into the league ....... for a start you were looking for a fairly flat piece of ground which wasn't easy in the peaks ....... though even that wasn't always the case. At Taddington you kicked steeply up hill both ways and at Grindleford you played on a hillside so steep end to end that you had to adopt completely different tactics at half time. I remember Litton Mills having a team one season when I was about sixteen. Could we find it? We arrived about forty five minutes after kick off, no mobiles in those days. Hardly any signposts. It was nearly dark!

Don't know whether in a local derby like Fleetwood and Blackpool it's an advantage to be at home .......... I always fancy the underdog in derby games. We are the underdogs on Saturday aren't we?
