An absolutely superb night out with Baz and Neil.
The best away performance io personally have witnessed since we won at Chesham on the last day of the Southern League season a couple of years ago,the whole team played well,not a weak link in site.
Brian's competition forced me to name a man of the match and i went for Justin Richards but it could equally have gone to Leon or many others,it was an immense performance.
I got fed up of hearing the bitching from Salford's newly acquired supporters about the sending off,Charlie had collected the ball a couple of seconds before Hulme steamed into him,it was a strong piece of refereeing by a ref who had a great game.
Salford had pace and some quality and defended extremely well and it's obvious why they are favourites for the league but we are every bit as good as them.
To be honest i was embarrassed for Salford tonight,the ridiculous "celeb culture" they now foster,the following around of every man and his dog by the numerous cameras etc was absolutely cringeworthy,i don't think their kit man could take a dump without some knob with a camera following him into their portacabin loo,it really is just ridiculous.
The attitude of some of their officials,the manager and some fans was also an embarrassment,at times it became ridiculously confrontational with even their gateman looking for verbals with one of our fan's at half time and the manager wanting to get involved with verbals at full time……..get a grip boys……you are Salford,you are playing in division 7 and your changing room is a shipping container…..GET A LIFE!
I was sad to see old Eric take a fall at the end of the game and hope he recovered quickly from his nasty fall,perhaps instead of playing "Celebrity Football" and having a camera stuck in every orofice you could actually invest some of your multi millionaire owners money into providing safe standing and walking areas and lighting the off pitch areas properly.
Too much hype and bullshit going on there in my opinion.
Salford were well beaten by a very good Stourbridge side who showed their class both on and off the pitch tonight,well done lads,it was a brill night out for us travellers.
Make no mistake,you Stour boys can still win this league,you just need to go into EVERY match with the attitude shown tonight and not switch off against the lower to mid table teams.
I think we need one more signing,a quality striker to back up our excellent front pair,find him and i think we'll go up.
