Originally Quarn fc were meant to be the opponents for town today but for some reason pulled out ( quarn are a league above shirebrook) that would have been a better game to watch but credit to Rothley for stepping in and agreeing to play.i am not totally sure but i think there must be about three leagues minimum between the sides and it showed as the scoreline suggests.
As it was a nice sunny day for a chance i sat outside the clubhouse with sometime to kill (next time i wont set off till 1 o clock) Town players arrived in suits and ties where as there opponents were dressed in casual gear an early sign of the divisional difference between the two clubs.The clubhouse always reminds me of Jenkins club where i first started drinking when i was doing my apprenticeship certainly one of a dying bred of clubs and much poorer the world is without them.
I went into the ground at about 2.35.walked round and took the normally crappy pictures.
The game as the score line surgests was pretty one sided. town played some decent football at times and could have scored more goals the keeper could only have done better with the 4th goal all the rest were pretty well worked.(the above picture is the Rothley keeper picking the ball out of the net after towns first goal) It is hard to say how good a side is after a game like this but on this showing Shirebrook should do better than last season but do seem to be a young side.
admission £4
food/drink tea 60p 5/10 burgers looked very nice and only £1.50!
Programme None issued
clubhouse 8/10
ground 7/10
WAG factor 6/10-reasonable nothing more nothing less
all in all not a bad way to kill a few hours and see a few goals it would have been more had it not been for Rothleys number 6 at the back making many last ditch tackles.
