'twas funny. He really celebrated like a mad man when he hit it on the second attempt. Pressure must have been enormous! :P

That second one had to be a fluke. He barely got it off the floor in the other two!

Scott_ASFC · 17-02-2007, 22:37

looked liek he toe pooked hte 2nd one but he did well though

When I started to read my programme I realised there was no ticket anywhere inside so went back to the seller who said "Oh they forgot to put 'em in - someone will come round later with them!" What the heck was that all about?
Of course I never got a ticket - anyone else got mugged like me? Certain I would have won the grand.

I didn`t get a ticket with my prog either, but looked on it as a lucky escape from embarrasing myself in front of the Ultras.

It was great when his second shot hit, everyone`s attitude totally changed and were willing him to do it. Something to tell his grandchildren.

"shot hit" good job I didn`t do a typo on that bit

How come they needed to film it for 'insurance' purposes?!

The County fans were laughing at first when he hit it straight along the ground, but when he hit it on the second attempt we were all willing him to do it and clapped him off.

It's a hard thing to do, the footballs they use are quite hard aswell so its toug to get them that high over that length a distance.

I got a programme but i got no ticket either as much as a grand would be very useful, i dunno whether i was relieived as i'd be too nervous to take one & fluff up badly in front of everyone - phew

The programme seller should have given you a ticket when you bought your programme, but there was only me and my dad giving them out. They forgot to give them to the lads behind the goals! Hopefully it will be a bit better organised next time and everyone will get a ticket. I would love to give it a go - but wonder if Eric would let me on the pitch with stilletos!

You’d be alright in stilettos Kisser, it’ll help with the drainage, have you never seen the lads giving it a good forking. (sorry).

The lad at the Crown steps was giving them out when it was quiet but nearer kick off when queues were forming it was too hard to rip them off quickly enough, so a few would have been missed there.

Redraine · 18-02-2007, 16:41

My seller was just inside the Clayton end turnstile and no sign of any tickets at all

Quality entertainment...!!!

Well worth the 540 mile round trip, spec when the poor lad was greeted with a rendition of "Strawberry blonde, your havin a laugh". Brightened up my day, result not so good tho'. Stockport look a quality side although I thought Stanley didn't really get hold of midfield and keep the ball untill Toddy came on and got amongst 'em a bit, Tony Grant wasted too many balls for me, but thats my opinion. Interesting to see Coley's comments in one of National papers admitting that he got his formation wrong, good on him.!!

ps Has Stanley Store got any bigger shorts for Rogers..???
