Crewe Alex v Swindon Town

[SRNP]

That ref has surpassed Stuart Attwell for the worse refereeing performance I've ever seen.

One of the better 0-0's I've seen. Sat in the family stand (had free tickets) for the 1st time in a very long time. Thought even the atmosphere was a shade better than normal, I would even expect to hear the GRE from that end of the ground but I was pleasantly surprised.

As already mentioned the ref was a complete tool, far too card happy, but Tate and especially Stephens were very stupid to get sent off.

I'd have took a draw beforehand so fairly happy, just hope we can build on it with two key games next week.

What was with the group of 20 or so teenagers and the drum in the stand behind the goal? I won't use the word tinpot but it was verging on embarrassing.

I don't get why football clubs don't ban drums from football grounds, it doesn't add anything to the atmosphere.

On that note, the atmosphere from the away fans today was quiet, disappointed bearing in mind we had reasonable numbers.

Oh and have to love going up north, the beer is so cheap and the hospitality is generally very good!

They're young and abit exciteable, i just leave them too it, most 14-15 year olds are abit embarrassing.

Can't argue with that!

Living in London it was amazing to get change (and a lot of it) from £20 for 4 pints!

You can get 4 pints for a tenner in the Sir Dan in Swindon

That involves going to Swindon though Dan! (Strictly football only for that!)

And I'm a bit of a beer snob too so won't touch fosters or carling etc.

Ah, you're a knit-your-own-yoghurt, gay whales against the bomb real ale drinker, then?

I do like a pint of Youngs Special meself

 

[Agombar stool]

Ha, I used to drink lager but grew into real ale. Guess it happens as you get older!

They're the reason the atmosphere has vanished in the last 10 years at Gresty Road, everyone else has moved out of that stand to get away. Can't complain that they don't support the club/team though.

I don't mind drums either, preferable to a cricket match in the local village kinda atmosphere.

One of the worst refs I've ever seen.

Would of taken a draw before the game.
