... every time I get a Saturday off work, the whole football thing goes pear-shaped ??
Plan 1 - Stafford Rangers v Shaw Lane Aquaforce - have you seen the price of rail tickets - sadly had to say no way ...
Plan 2 - Ramsbottom United v Ashton United - which would have included some serious "train spotting" on the East Lancs Railway (Diesel Weekend) - game called off 1130 ...
Plan 3 - Mossley v Northwich Vics just up the road, Northwich Vics 2nd in league ... Mossley beat Glossop (3rd in league) last Tuesday - game called off at 1450 ...
Already aware that Droylsden and Hyde FC games both off ...
Quick phone call to Stalybridge - "Game on" ..
Plan 4 - taxi from Mossley up to Bower Fold - arrive just in time to see people streaming out - game abandoned after 10 mins .
Time to concentrate more on the pictures ...

Ledbury and the Malverns
Looking back at Malvern Hills from British Camp ...
A few days away from Royal Mail - so we went visiting friends in darkest Herefordshire and took in a lengthy walk over the Malvern Hills. Some pics from the "midweek break" at
Ledbury/Malvern Hills - Feb16
A Saturday off work means I can - theoretically go anywhere for football today - but (as usual !) most of the local clubs are at home ... and the weather forecast might lead to a good number of postponments - bugger ! We'll have to wait and see for an hour or two.

Late #2 - Ashton United v Rushall Olympic 13Feb16
Jay Gorton puts Ashton 1-0 up ...
Crazy game ... from 2-0 to 2-3 - delays due to lack of linesman - a late red card ... oh and it was cold as well. Pics from game at

Late #1 - Mossley v Trafford 10Feb16
All the things you can't do at a Premier League game - one of the joys of Non-League !!!
... in the semi-final of the Manchester Premier Cup ...
Pretty comfy win for the Lilywhites to be honest - some pics at
Mossley 2 Trafford 0
... plus - it sets up a mouth-watering "local derby final" against Stalybridge Celtic ...

Pots'n'Pans - Sunday
Uppermill Viaduct ...
No football on Saturday ... for some unknown reason (possibly the weather ? ho ho !!) - so it was One Day Cricket and Rugby Union in the relative warmth and dryness ... of the pub !!
Friends round for Saturday night - and on Sunday ... a walk - and to quote the last couple of posts - God it was cold (plus gale force winds when we got "high up"). Cobwebs were certainly blown out today ... some pics at
Pots and Pans Walk 07Feb16
NOT looking forward to "working with Imogen" tomorrow ...
