GermanBird Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 (edited) As I fear that Lord Snooty is on holiday, I want to keep you informed about today's big match. The mighty owls will face Alfreton Town today! The Impact Arena has a capacity is 3,600, of which 1,500 is seated. PAY ON THE GATE only (source of the picture is their twitter page: link According to "The Star" we don't have fond memories of Alfreton LINK Their squad: Their form table (we all know ours) Weather: Will this be our formation and lineup? Will the game be on ifollow? - I'm not sure! Will anyone of you make the journey to Alfreton? Please let us know in the comments below.

Ethel The Tree Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Strong looking line-up there @GermanBird Our starting XI for the corresponding game last year was ... Wildsmith; Brennan, Hutchinson, Borner; Dawodu, A.Hunt, Bannan, Masampu; Hagan, Windass, Shodipo DM made wholesale changes at ht bringing on Dawson, Palmer, Dunkley, Bola, Galvin, Luongo, Waldock, Adeniran, Green & Paterson and it finished 1-0 to Wednesday with a cracking finish from Andre Green late on att: 953 Just out of interest 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep was our youth team and without looking into the starting line up I expect not many have gone on to play at a very high level. On the same day our first team drew 0-0 with premier league side Stoke, so bit of perspective there. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right. Most of them seemingly vanished without trace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyoni and Modest made the odd cup appearance for us. Not heard of any of the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethel The Tree Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 I think we just need to accept that the 14-0 game is now part of Alfreton folklore Bit like Barnstoneworth United's great side of 1922 - their fans will never see the likes again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of them seemingly vanished without trace. It was basically the academy lads that played. Some of them not even first year pros. It was a huge co ck up from the club. Unorganised chaos due to a very late change of plan. Everyone in the world of football knows what team we put out that day. Bar the pigs, who still want to think it was our first team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that was our first team then I'm not sure how bad theirs must have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Was looking forward to today, but can't find any coverage on ifollow, YouTube or Alfreton's own TV channel. Pisspoor really for 2022 not to have any streams available. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our YouTube channel not really prolific, last update was 9 days ago before Liam Palmer's last run on Thursday. Last year we used Celtics YouTube coverage for that match and Alfreton's TV channel streamed that game for a fiver. It's a small ground and demand surely significantly outweighs capacity.

The ground holds 3,600. TBH I don't care, I'm not included or catered for. As a disabled fan who lives hours away from Sheffield or Alfreton, no way of me engaging today. May as well be a behind closed doors game as far as I'm concerned. I'm definitely throwing my toys out of the pram, going to have to spend another Saturday with the family. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexpistol Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 When we played them last year I think the attendance was just over 900 I’m guessing 1500ish today. I am going as I’ve never been to Alfretons ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, although we've played quite a few friendlies there in recent years it's usually been midweek and I couldn't be arsed, so making the effort today.
