And so to the Excel at Crewe FC Sports Pavilion on West Street in Crewe for a North West Counties Division One South game between Crewe FC and Allscott Heath FC.
Allscott Heath are known as The Monners (somebody who has lived their entire life in the same town or suburb). They are based at The Peter Ford Stadium on Shawbirch Road.
The club was formed as Atlas FC in 2010, changing name to Allscott in 2011, then to Allscott Heath FC in 2019.
Numberplates today are PH16BOG - another Peter Higson vehicle - and MU51CKZ. We pass a shop 'Glam & Glow by Fatimah' but the website on the shop front is ggbyfatmiah.co.uk ; we also see Scrantastic, Baltic Paradise and Ci Ci Fleur.
A glorious sunny day takes us to the A556 and a shuttered Windmill at Tabley. Then the Smoker at Plumley - Heritage Works and hence scaffolding - alongside Bax Bees Honey Farm.
Thereafter the Weavers Whistle and Lion House in Middlewich, after Seddon Street, home of Middlewich Town FC. Through Wimboldsley with Old Hough Coarse Fishery and then the Verdin Arms and Walley's Green 🙄
That takes us to the Coach & Horses at Bradfield Green and then Wetherspoons' Marshfield Bank Farm House on the outskirts of Crewe. And a hot air balloon in the distance... as we arrive at The Excel.
£5 in at Nipper's and a crowd of 66, including several Allscott fans. It's a basic ground with entrance via the Sports Hub and only two sides in operation; the near end has two small covered terraces with seats to come...
The popular side has a walkway with several benches but there is no stand yet. Two sides are unnavigable and aside from the Hub, bar and car park, the pitch is bounded by the King George V Playing Fields.
Crewe are in blue with black shade, sponsored by Excelvent. The Monners are in all green, sponsored by The Kitchen Depot.
Five minutes in Heath take the lead. Crewe keeper Martin Blain drops a long throw in and Ben Summers scores from on the goal line.
Fifty seconds later we're all square. Zachary Billinge's cross is swept home by Kyle Vickers beyond Harry Dabbs.
George Cross misses badly for Allscott on 14 - a one on one sees him scoop the ball into Blain's arms with a very poor chip. But the Monners regain the lead at the midpoint thanks to a sublime free kick into the top corner by Carl Rogers.
Heath continue to fashion chances with Ben Davies wasting an opportunity after dispossessing the last defender, then having a shot saved at point blank range. For Crewe, Sean Cooke hits the post a minute before the break.
Still time for Edan Sears to hit a worldie from 30 yards in the third minute of stoppage time. Allscott lead 3-1 at half way.
In the second period Crewe's Joshua Maris has a long distance pop just wide early on. But the Monners continue to threaten and Juliano Da Silva clears off the line on 69.
Then Crewe are unfortunate twice: with a quarter of an hour to go sub Samuel Newman has his 'goal' disallowed for a push. Then two minutes on Sears is penalised for handball, but Dabbs saves the resultant penalty from Maris.
Matters are wrapped up with a minute left. Heath sub Jack Davies is played in and scores emphatically in the bottom corner as Allscott finish 4-1 winners.
