9th Feb 2002. Id passed my driving test about 3 weeks before but Chris convinced me to drive to Huddersfield away, even though id not been further than Birkenhead.

 Me in my blue Nova with Chris as co pilot with an out of date AA road map. What could go wrong?! 

 We made it to the Mcalpine with about 4 mins to spare after abandoning the car and  running through what seemed like the set from Last if the summer wine. Got beat 2-1 after a largely uneventful match  and the horrific glare of the winter sun set driving back over the moors ill never forget, but what a fun day. We were thankfully back  in the Merebrook for about 7pm. Good times.
