Tomorrow's Opponents: Glossop North End
I had a post all prepared bleating on about a "trip to the gateway to the Peak District tomorrow", but fixture faffage has struck again. Instead, Cheadle's pre-season programme will come to an end at Manchester City FC's training complex in Fallowfield, Manchester...with an 11.00am kick-off, so ignore that little "next match" banner above this post.
Nonetheless, onto our opponents. Did you know that Glossop is notable in footballing terms for being the smallest town in England to own a top-division professional football club? No, neither did I. Before you furrow your brow and start to wonder if you'd somehow missed GNE's foray into the modern-day Premiership, we're talking years and years ago here; 1898-1915 in fact, when GNE played in the Football League. Thesedays they ply their trade in Division One of the NWCFL - where they have been for the past fifteen seasons - finishing a respectable 9th last term.
Cheadle played GNE at Park Road during pre-season last year and came out handsome 3-0 winners with two goals from Vinnie Braine and one from Deano.
Come on Cheadle!
Match report and pictures will be posted late Saturday afternoon....

Despite much effort over the summer, you would not want to play on Moon Base Alpha tomorrow. We've even had to switch our first league game to give the pitch an extra week. Looking forward to the game, we should get a better idea on just how good some of our new players actually are.
