Fantastic performance by Salford City tonight who fought back with a real battling performance with the equaliser coming just four minutes from the end after the Ammies had taken the lead after just two minutes of play. An absolutely cracking atmosphere with the Salford fans totally out singing the home support. What a night and roll on Saturday for the replay!

I thought I'd be forgotten after only going to one Salford game last year



What are pre-match plans? Don't recall any pubs near Moor Lane on my last visit and Manc will be a no-go with the EDL march; planning on getting a taxi from the Crescent to the ground, I think. Or have SCFC sorted a temporary measure for a bar, which would be the preferred option?

If you're getting the train to Salford Crescent there are plenty of boozers in and around Salford Precinct (if you're brave!

). The hearest pub to the ground is probably The Friendship Inn (Holts Pub), just off Bury New Road, which is a good 10-12 minute walk. Pretty slim pickings near Moor Lane since the demise of The Kersal, The George, Rainsough Brew etc.

If you are going to the Friendship then you might as well go to a few more in Prestwich as these are just up the road.
There is also the Plough which is next door to the derilict Rainscough Pub
Salford Slim you must be a very quick walker if it only takes you 10-12 minutes to Moor Lane from the Friendship

All downhill from Scholes Lane and takes at least 5 mins off the journey if you cut across Kersal Moor. Factor in the predominantly northerly wind at your back and 10 mins is quite do-able!

Shame on me forgetting about The Plough but think it must be at least 10 years since I've stepped foot in the place.

FC beat Nantwich 4-0 at Hyde the other night. Superb performance, don't know what people were worried about!

Think we'll start off in Leigh and Atherton and go straight to the ground from the Crescent and put our money in to your club, presuming the planned 'emergency' bar is sorted?

Think I'll go to Salford city tomorrow.

Also FC vs Stalybridge in the FA cup on Sunday. Split gate reciepts plus £5k to Bury = a loss financial loss for FC, so those who follow FC on here try and get to this one.

Cheers.

You bringing a firm down?

We're getting 1.15 train from Atherton if you want to meet us at the Crescent or get on the same train.

We`re at Moor Lane tomorrow, then onto OT.

Fantastic result for Salford City today with Rhodri Giggs scoring the only goal in a hard fought game just seven minutes from time which gave the Ammies a 1-0 win over Hyde United in front of 400 spectators. The victory now sets up a mouth watering FA Cup 3rd Qualifying Round tie against Blue Square North Conference side Blyth Spartans at Moor Lane this coming Tuesday night. Kick off 7:45pm.
Great to see local businesses, politicians and local people rallying round to help the Ammies after the devastating fire last weekend which saw four portakabins in situ which ensured that alchohol, hot and cold food and toilet facilities were all available on site. Roll on Tuesday night ..........

t'was a cracking result if not a great match, we had enough of the ball and chances in the first 45 to have the game won by half time. It was more than an arm wrestle in the 2nd half but well done to the boys and yes roll on Tuesday!



Spot on fella, I know from my work environment that a lot of work has gone in this week behind the scenes that could go unnoticed and unpublicised (and I think that we as Reds fans should consider this when pondering what’s happening with our stadium!!!) I was very impressed with the crowd in terms of numbers (A few factors in that if we're honest) and the volume from the main stand, where did that come from, admittedly I didn't make many matches last season but from what I recall there was nothing like that, in fact in all the years I've watched it somewhat a rarity!

Well Done (Oh and the banners aren't bad either!

)

Was a huge effort to get the bars etc sorted, and SCFC deserve endless credit for that. They made enough money out of our motley crew of Leythers anyroad

The vocal support coincided with the appointment of present manager Paul Wright in the early part of this year and has been growing ever since. We are still few in number but give us an enclosed stand and we can make a decent amount of noise. I'm still trying to get the guys who stand behind the opposition goal at Moor Lane to join us in the main stand but so far I've not managed to persuade them! Mind you when we go away we do all tend to congregate together.
Would like at least one more banner to display as well as getting some lettering on the tangerine and black chequered one.
Cheers ...................................

FC Utd 3 Stalyvegas 3. Decent game although FC led 2-0 and 3-1. Replay on Tuesday.

Both Salford and FC in the draw for the 4th round then.

Sounds like I missed a cracker, and a good crowd as well.

Pile all over Bower Fold on Tuesday night!

Winners of Stalybridge vs FC away at Northwich in the next round.

Winners of Salford vs Blyth Spartans at home to Worcester city or AFC Telford.

I'm torn. Stalybridge Celtic or FCUM? Probably two of my least favourite teams. Add Droylsden to the mix and you have the three least likeable teams outside the football league.

Gutted the Tigers lost to a team like Salford City. They needed the money desperately and are struggling to pay the players. They have always been a much better team and club than Salford but these are hard times for Hyde. Shame really as I used to love going to Ewen Fields.

Lost to a team like Salford City?
THE BETTER TEAM OVER TWO GAMES
Needed the money desperately & are struggling to pay their players!
SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN PAYING EXCESSIVE WAGES OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS AND THEN NOT PAYING WHAT THEY OWE THE INLAND REVENUE
Always been a much better team and club than Salford
SALFORD COMPLETE RECORD AGAINST HYDE P3 W2 D1 L0 F 5 A 3
SO MUCH BETTER CLUB THEY GET A WINDING UP ORDER AGAINST THEM

A Wire Fan ........ That explains a lot

He's a Salford fan. Although his bitter blue leanings are an explanation for a lot of things.

A wire fan? F-off.

Have hyde ever finished above hyde?

'Scuse me?

A wire fan? F-off.

Have hyde ever finished above hyde?

Don't think so!



Sorry about the Wire fan quip!





I still stand by the rest of my comments though.
