Oldham Athletic @ Woking FC

With another game in the South-East, that doesn't clash with an Arsenal season ticket home game, my brother Neill was able to come along too.

We decided to meet at our Aunt's in Maidstone and take one car. As I paid for the tickets we went in his car. The financial jiggling can come later. Tickets for us fogeys are £15 and for that we had a seat in the main stand behind the goal. Parking was nearby and two hours is free. We just paid for the extra couple of hours.

It was a short walk to the ground. We were there just after 2pm. The kickoff was 3pm.

We managed to munch down a 10" German sausage and a coffee the temperature of lava before the teams came out. 

If results were based on the warm up and shooting into the goal then we would expect 6-0 scores every week.

The game was pretty even. Woking had a chance to go ahead but Holden saved well. 

0-0 at half-time.

Second half was a vast improvement and Latics came close a few times, but the shot at the end of the move was weak.

In end the substitution of Green for Ward changed the dynamic. Within minutes is paid off and Norwood controlled the ball and slipped it past the keeper.

Latics out on the pressure and almost immediately struck the bar with a shot from outside the box from Gardner.

The game fizzled a little with Latics trying to manage the game out.

It made for a pleasant drive back to Maidstone and onto home.
