Buxton 2-2 Worksop Town (National League North) It’s been a while since I have been up here, I previously stated that it might even be the highest ground in England, although I have since found out ‘unofficially’ there are 34 football pitches even higher up the hills than Silverlands (which stands apparently 1,027ft above sea level), the Wearhead Ground in Durham at 1,594 feet is home of Wearhead United and said to be the highest of all, a good 567 feet above the hilltop home

Alfreton Town 2-2 Buxton (National League North) Tonight’s Derbyshire Derby is massive. If Buxton win, they will probably be in the playoffs, if Alfreton lose, they will most likely be down, a winner takes all opportunity? Would it be wise to predict a draw?

No mistakes tonight, tickets available online right up until kick off in Chesterfield. At least they listened to my a

Matlock Town 1-0 Buxton (Friendly) I’ve been playing the service station game with my friends on WhatsApp. It’s got that bad, even if I don’t need the services, I find myself pulling in and taking a random photo of a newly visited MOTO or Welcome Break, just so I can send it to the lads who then throw a number of wrong guesses at me before getting bored and conversation moves on to something else, like trying to arrange a night out with a dozen 40 somethings who really can’t
