10 GOAL THRILLER !!!!!! 3rd visit this season to Salford City (my home town club) you'll see regular reports and pictures from Salford as i do support them anyway , what can i say about this game...after a goaless draw on saturday with both goalkeepers coming out on top we were entertained with this goalfest and a very good game of football . Salford went ahead and were pretty much on top throughout the 1st half with nothing to suggest there was going to be a avalanche of goals 2nd half . Salford were pretty much down and out after 71 minutes going 1-3 down with some excellent play from the Congleton team , that obviously spurred Salford on and by full time it was all square at 3-3. Really didnt want extra time as work beckoned early , but half way through the gate i decided to stay the course and unexpectedly was treated to another 4 goals . Salford were in complete control in extra time with the game finishing 6-4 so on to the next round against Nantwich . So fantastic evening of football, Salford's ground continues to be upgraded with the extended club house and new cafe being built , you'll see scaffolding dotted about the ground as the cities university is filming all through the 2014/15 season for a 3-part documentary to be shown on national TV later in the year...quick mention to Groundhog who came from the Stoke area for the game , good to meet you and see you soon.
Dirty old town !!!
