Mostly reserves/subs etc, along with a couple of our more senior erm... backroom staff.
Testing my memory here, cos I was only half paying attention, and don't know most of the reserves (having only just arrived on the terraces at Stanley).
Cook, Coleman, Bell, Ventre, Mangham, Boco, Cavanagh, Proctor, Paul Brown
No Barry, O'Neill, Jaggers, Roberts, Williams, Flynn, Mullin, Brown
The referee blew for everything, which got really frustrating at times. Great Harwood were really limited to one half chance, about ten minutes from the end. That said, the gulf between the teams wasn't completely obvious... some of the time, at least.
Proctor man of the match for me, absolutely dominating the right wing.
Boco? Quite a nervy start to the match, smashing a shot straight into the ground, and a second, decent chance weakly quite early on. Did settle though, and showed quite a bit of strength on the edge of the box. Great ball control, particularly on his chest. Wild, lashing overhead kick just wide of the left post, about ten minutes to half-time (nearly took the Great Harwood number 6's head off!) Went loco for the first 20 minutes of the second half, but great goal, and is one of these players who'll most likely launch himself into the crowd when he scores!
Very impressed with Coleman. Only put one foot wrong, selling a pass short, to shouts of "Through the ball... put your foot through the ball!" Great touch, and even a couple of darting runs.
On the whole, Great Harwood didn't get battered as they ought to have done, and the Stanley display was a little disjointed. It did have the air of a friendly though, and I'm not one to set too much store by such things.
I hope that answers some of your questions. Sorry I couldn't be any more definite on the team... not helped by the effin tannoy.
Oooooooooh. The bloke hit the crossbar at half-time, earning himself a season ticket... just after I'd told the missus, "No-one ever manages that!"
