Well, if ever there was a case of being at a match purely for the sake of ticking off the ground, then this was it. These sort of cages should not be allowed to be used by clubs at this level for playing competitive matches. There is no spectator access allowed inside the cage, which the club had tweeted was due to health and safety requirements, meaning the record crowd of 128 had to watch through the mesh fencing. Although that isn’t quite true, as Tony Incenzo (talkSPORT) was excluded from the ban and was allowed to watch from inside the fence, which judging by the comments, certainly didn’t endear him to many of the ground hoppers in attendance!

As for the game, hard to comment. The night was more about the social side, than football. Apart from gaining a ‘tick’, and having a good natter, it was a waste of time coming really.
