So my original plan was a trip to Northwich tomorrow where Winnington Avenue are hosting Vulcan in a crunch game at the top of Cheshire League One. Winnington only need a point to secure promotion behind Whalley Range whose second successive promotion was confirmed last weekend. A win for Vulcan will put them 3 points ahead of their hosts and will leave Winnington - whose goal difference should be enough - needing a win at Blacon in the division's final game next Saturday to reclaim second place. Blacon themselves would still have been in with a chance of stealing promotion at the season's death but an unfulfilled fixture a few weeks ago has cost them dear.
Anyway I've subsequently discovered that Winnington play in a cage with viewing down one side only which - crunch game or not - is really not for me so all of the above is a very long-winded way of saying I'm off to the delightful Peak District village of Tideswell this evening to see Furness Vale and Bradwell vie for the Lawrence Shield in the Hope Valley League instead.
