Anywhere on the North Wales coast would do me except Bangor. Would say that tho, living in Rhyl.

Do you have a Belle Vue from your window?  Sorry - couldn't resist!

Llandudno - nice set up but it's an artificial pitch.  They're also going to be involved in early European qualification rounds.

We could play them on the Great Orme.. similar slope to the Congleton ground way back when.

The pitch might be good practice for the away game at Tamworth.

I'm sure that Tamworth are laying a 4G pitch over the summer so you'd hope it will be flat.

That was my point.

Re: sloping pitches

Booth Street, Congleton Town in their Mid Cheshire days with Roy Campbell in charge: staggering slope! 17 feet?  Evened out by building the bottom half up and digging some of the top half.  Must visit again and see what it's like now.
Grundy Hill, Horwich RMI: sloped both ways! Unique! Gone now: RMI moved to Leigh.
Townfield Lane, Barnton: haven't been since Mid Cheshire days. Last spotted in third place in the North West Counties League Division One (i.e. 2nd Div.)

All presented problems to the referee as well as the visitors!

I'm going to lie down in a dark room for a while. I was convinced I was replying to a comment about slopey pitches.

I was at Congleton the other week, still firmly sloped!

Barnton are in the Counties Div 1 play off final on Saturday

[ToffeeBlue]

They've done well!  I reffed a 4-4 draw there once.  4-0 at half time, all scored at the 'top' end....

Going back to the Chester friendly being announced, does anyone else find the choice of Chester a little strange in the light of the post match trouble along Moss Lane towards the town centre, after the recent league game?

I doubt they will bring any more than 40 people and the idiots won't want to attend...............it's Youngy's ex-club and also good opposition for us

[TheGolfRoadView]

True there will be a much lower crowd and less idiots on both sides, but when a friendly will probably require segregation you think the club would maybe choose a different opponent
