Congleton Town v Stoke
City XI
Pre
Season Friendly 18th July 2007
17 July A rare visit to Congleton for me, when Stoke sent an
academy based team to play Congleton Town , to replace the original
fixture against Nantwich town - the game ended 2-2 - Haddrell scoring a
deserved equaliser for Congleton.
Not my first visit with
Stoke , but on a fine evening, even though the midgies arrived in the 2nd
half, a treat to stand up at a game.
A nicely run club who play
in the North West Counties , with good value refreshments and a
local real ale Kodiak Gold from Beartown brewery available at £2 - decent
enough but a bit too hoppy for my liking.
