Any local lads been down there recently/ever?

I'm not local but have been down there a couple of times now because my dads company sponsors the club. It's decent entertainment for a very good price. Won 3 from 3 this season in the league below the conference north so fingers crossed for a good season

Highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't been there because the lads need the support (y)
 

Used to play for their youth set up, went down a few times when I was younger. It's a good bit of footy to see when the mighty blues aren't playing. Seconded.
 
Local football is ace mate but sadly under supported.... i follow my local team home and away when im off but sadly our home crowds average 200 people a game, I am going to a place called LLanrhaedr next saturday which is i think near oswestry on the border, again sadly our travelling support will be about 30 - 50 people. We play in the league underneath the league of wales.

They usually get about 240/250 which isn't too bad, but when FC United came last time apparently there were a couple of thousand down there
 
My grandfather played for Marine in the late 20s and early 30s. I have a few of his medals. When I was on my first trip to Liverpool in 1991 I stayed with an aunt in Crosby and wandered over to the ground. Showed this old fella the Lancashire Cup medal and told him the story. I think the guy was the manager at the time. Anyway, they were playing Leek Town in a cup game on that weekend and I got treated like royalty -- got to meet the players after the game, a couple of free scotch with the directors. My then 12-year-old cousin went green with envy. And as it turns out, this really old gent I'd been standing beside on the terraces actually knew my grandfather.
