573 on the lifetime list. I am here because of the random
occurrence of 3, 6 and 4 emails in three inboxes. These numbers, when multiplied together
before adding one, give 73 and this match was 73rd on a list of
103 possible unvisited venues for me.
If it hadn’t been for a Murdoch minion trying to sell me a Now TV
subscription to watch WBA v Man City at 4pm, I would have been at
Penrith. The story was told in the
previous blogpost and on Twitter. Where were you?

Pre-match preparation
|
|
This is a
West v East confrontation at step 5. The
hosts are one of five unbeaten teams in the NW Counties Premier after two 1-0
wins. The visitors are mid-table in
the Northern Counties East Premier after a 3-6 defeat and a 2-1 win. All of this counts for nothing etc etc. Now read on and pick a link or two.
