Crewe Alex (day 12)

The previous post on the subject only scratches the surface. We had moored close to the main Nantwich Chester road and had a convenient bus stop less than two minutes walk from the boat. The buses are frequent, every half hour during the day. The bus took us to Nantwich and then onto Crewe where we planned to eat before the match. Prior to kick off a visit to the Bombay Indian restaurant was deemed appropriate. This place holds many happy memories from a long past misplaced youth.

A fitting start to an epic night. At the ground the atmosphere was electric. The big screen and crowd of about 400 in the lounge gave a real match feel to the occasion and we were pleased to have made the effort to see the game here.


It was nice to meet Andy, Wendy and Sean. As well as being dedicated Alex fans they are also following the blog. Nice people. After Crewe won it was clear the celebrations were going to last for some time. However, we had to think about returning to the boat whilst there was transport available. We had a taxi from Crewe station because the buses had finished their scheduled runs toward Chester. Taxi cost us £21 but we agreed it was money well spent

All in all a most enjoyable day and one that will remain in the memory for a long time

The question in our minds at this time is Will Crewe win at Wembley in the play-off final?
