Bradford PA v County: Match Thread, Take 2 (10/02/2014)

I think the lack of activity is due to the Proboards server issue, sagey.

Yeah, I guessed. Still...any excuse to get the Pop Side pants out.

We have to play 7 of the top 8 teams in the last 15 games of the season. The top two away. Winning all those games is a tall order and IMO necessary if we are to make the top 5. I hope I'm wrong but i Can't see it.

I'm only going to claim 73.5% of the credit for tonight's win. It's down to something called Anchor Steam, a beer brewed in San Francisco. It's a long story but having first heard of it in the Michael Connelly 'Harry Bosch' books I then went on a two year search for a bottle to try it, with no success. After coming back on here a week or two ago I subsequently went to toast County's recent success with friends at a bar in Manchester's northern quarter. And, low and behold, there it's was on the menu. I had a bottle and loved it. Then found out that the beer is imported into the UK by a company called Chilli Marketing (who started their business out of the back of a van from Heaton Moor in Stockport four years ago). And then last week the company I work for won the PR account for Chilli Marketing (they also do Cusqena beer and Rekorderlig cider). So, my Stockport roots, the County victory and a company based in Stockport (plus Michael Connelly's amazing books) have put me in the bosom of one of the world's best beers.

The other 26.4% of tonight's victory (which I toasted with another bottle of Anchor Steam - available via retail from Majestic Wine on the corner of Bramhall Lane if you want to try some) is down to the players and Lordy...I couldn't possibly claim all the glory.

Perv.

Night night sweetie x
