After five league wins in a row we’re hopeful that we can make it a round half-dozen as we face Wythenshawe Town for the third time this season. We’ve beaten them twice, and have high hopes of making it three times.
Our stunning victory over Chasetown on Saturday knocked them off the top and kept us among the leaders. We’re only one point behind new leaders Avro and have played two matches fewer.
The attitude of our players and quality of their football was worthy of way above Tier Eight. To score four quality goals against the league leaders in less than half-an-hour was breathtaking.
This game is the second of only two we have at Gigg Lane during October. Our regular 3,000-plus gates are a great encouragement to the lads, and – along with the noise – intimidating to opponents.
So please don’t fail to get along and support the lads with more of that noise. Be part of the amazing things happening at Gigg Lane.
Up, up, up the Shakers!!
In Opposition – Wythenshawe Town
There’s a big gap between our position and Wythenshawe’s. They could manage only a draw at Newcastle Town on Saturday and are three places from the bottom.
We’ve already beaten them twice this season in the Isuzu FA Trophy first qualifying round. We won 3-1 in the first game and 2-1 in the replay ordered by the FA.
The fact that we were thrown out of the competition shows no one here was to blame for our inclusion of a player with an outstanding red card.
