Bolton Wanderers 1:0 Macclesfield 22/08/00 WORTHINGTON CUP RND 1 1st leg ATTENDANCE: 4,957
  Bolton scorer: Holdsworth, 85


At least it wasn't raining, it usually does on a Worthy night. I decided to have a quick pint of Guinness in Muldoon's- no Reebok Happy Hour. Outside someone told me that I'd be the only one at the match. Last season, a bus driver told me that I should be certified for going, but it was raining then.

1st half:

Dullsville! No crowd, no atmosphere, no play (from Bolton). Highlight of the night was half time. Thank you Mr Referee! Nothing of note, really. Fish made a good tackle from the start and Farrelly had a shot from distance.

The silkmen played some neat passing football and had quite a vocal crowd behind them, but how many times have you heard, "W**** Wanderers!", from our neighbouring opposition supporters. Yawn!

Time for a hotdog at the interval. Interesting preparation. A baguette is impaled on a spike and a large sausage is allowed to slide into the resulting cavity. Tasted OK.

2nd half:

More of the same. Banks had more work to do, though. Relief came when Farrelly's cross found Holdsworth and Deano made no mistake with a bullet header. Silence in the Macclesfield encampment. They now know their fate.

A bus ride home, no point waiting for trains at night.
