A Happy Ending

No, not that sort.  This is about football & technology.  Be warned about the latter!

Football
It all began when I decided not to renew my season ticket at Tranmere Rovers.  Two successive relegations, the last to the National League, coupled with the cost and a sixty mile round trip had sucked all the joy out of football for me after nearly twenty years.

A Face In The Crowd

The magic of the FA Cup 4th Qualifying round with a packed ground. I'm a bit difficult to spot to be honest.

A Face In The Crowd

A great early season day out to Humberside. It was so hot most supporters sought the shade to watch what turned out to be the best Warrington Town performance in many a month.

A Face In The Crowd

Not the best day watching Warrington Town because "we was robbed": a disallowed goal, a penalty given for a swan dive and a winner for the opposition that had an almost impossible amount of spin on it.

It appears that in this type of photo I am destined to always look like a complete fool. Then again I don't appear to be the only one.

A Face In The Crowd

Life isn't always about wargames. Sometimes I watch football. Sometimes I end up in some of the photos from the game. If you can spot me in the crowd leave a comment.

The photo is from the second half of Warrington Town's FA Trophy game against Bamber Bridge.  The Yellows won 2-1 and the next round is at home this Saturday.  Oh the excitement!
