The magic of the FA cup again!As i have been to stavley recently in pre season i wont go into reviewing the ground all all that stuff apart from the prices. i didn't take my camera either so the images are all from the pre season match i saw there against Worksop town
The first game on Saturday between the two sides ended 1-1 hence the need for the replay. Stavely play two leagues below Clitheroe but were winning there until the 94th minute when by all accounts the Stavley keeper tried to catch a ball dropped in and the rest as they say is history.
It had been pissing it down here in North Notts during the day but thankfully the weather held off.Clithroe didn't get there until 20 mins before kick off but the game kicked of on time.
quick match report Stavely were 1-0 up at half time and looked much the better side. In the second half Clitheroe woke up and played Stavley of the park whilst all the time being backed by there fanatical supporters who had traveled in good numbers from Laneshire.This is what the FA cup is all about. Stockbridge park steels await in the first qualifying round and on this showing they are in for a hell of a match. For Stavley it was a case of so near yet so far,had they taken there chances in the first half they would be going through.but i am sure this well run club will bounce back.
Admission £4
Programme £1
WAG factor 8/10 one even held up my travel companion at the turnstiles as her hand bag was stuck in it!Also there is something funny about the sight of a women attempting to walk across a muddy bumpy car park in high heels
