Unofficial Halesowen Town FC Forum

Although I couldn't make the game last night, I'm interested to know how the distancing arrangements were organised. Was it just in The Shed or was it on the other sides too?
Little Crooki posted a photo of a wrist band with a pen number on it. What was that about?
It all sounds like it went well whatever, so well done to the Club for sorting.

I feel as though we're giving the cock womble pitch invader too much publicity, which I'm obviously adding to, but I've seen a lot of people comment that he was a kid (smacked off his tits, by the look of him), that climbed over the fence, from the Wreck, as a dare from his 'friends'. I did see a group of kids hanging around that end, towards the Stourbr*dge Road End, so I'd say this has a good chance of being true.

Where ever he came from, he obviously had no intention of causing harm, but such is today's world, it makes you think 'what could have been'.

The club couldn't have prevented this idiot, or future idiots, but it's a stark reminder of the world we live in, and how unsavoury last night could have been, particularly thinking about what happened up Brum a number of weeks back.

Quite scary when you think about it

Just in The Shed. Basically Rob was at the one end and he gave you a numbered wrist band to wear and that's where you needed to stand. There were plenty of "pens" available, I wandered round for the second half and got a spot behind the goal. It's worth saying as well that the little chain fences were markers in between each pen - it's not like you're standing IN the fence (if you know what I mean). The atmosphere was fine, you didn't feel particularly cramped or trapped, and I was personally rather pleased to get a wristband that said PEN15 on it.

As wave after wave of flowing football continued and with Halesowen back to their best, Cobourne burst forward and set up MANNING to finish superbly and make it 4-0 in the 51st minute.

We need to frame these bits of the match reports for years to come

I've only just got that...

Brilliant. Made me chuckle

Very good Piearce and thanks for the explanation.

So basically, we were going to pens before the game, as opposed to the FA Cup, where we saw 90 minutes of football first. That's novel.

Glad Josh picked up on Molly's performance last night. A bit of an unsung hero with all the pacy players taking the plaudits last night. Workrate superb, gave us, and gives us every week, that something different up front. While some of the others are looking indispensable HE would actually be the first name on my teamsheet.

I've said this a number of times, there's about 5 players I'd put first on our team sheet. Including two left wing backs...

Figure that one out!

Molly has been excellent so far this season, and his effort against Barton, produced the best save I can recall seeing live.

Absolutely. Scores his fair share too.
