I want my money back

Saturday 20^th August 2011 - Mossley v Woodley Sports

With Curzon playing an away game, we chose to go to Mossley to watch our first game at Seel Park this season.  The first thing of note was the price of admission. £8. Yes, £8. At a time when the whole country is suffering a recession, the committee at Mossley have seen fit to increase the price of admission. So that's the end of me buying a programme there then.

What followed was a complete mismatch of a game. It’s usually apparent by the amount of fouling that goes on when a team isn't as competent as their opposition, and this was certainly true in this match. Mossley were out of their depth and fouling Woodley for fun. The ref's yellow card certainly got a good workout.

By half time, Woodley should have been five up. As it turned out, they’d only managed to score once.

The best view in non-league

The final five minutes saw a mini goalfest, with Woodley managing to put three goals past the Mossley keeper. What was more amazing was that it had taken Woodley so long to score again as there was no one in the Mossley defence that competent enough to stop them.

To sum up - Mossley were hopeless, in all senses of the word. It’s going to be a long season for them unless they drastically improve their performance. I’m not sure I’ll be spending £8 to watch them again in a hurry. Not unless they start offering refunds to their supporters when they play as badly as this.

There was nothing amusing about this game at all. Nothing.
