Colwyn Bay

  • Front cover? Extremely blurred photo of a CB player.

  • Value for money? 50p for eight photocopied pages - fine.

  • Decent content? Editorial, history of both clubs, pen pix (including one for Marius). Gibson, Chalk and Faulconbridge were, apparently, in the starting line-up and Shaun Holmes became 'Shawn' Holmes.

  • Attractive design? Plain.

  • Best article? Decent potted history of WFC.

  • Overall? OK for a summer friendly.

 Food: Coffee and tea - absolutely delicious. Best cuppa at a match for years. Crisps - reasonably priced. Selection - lots of choice of hot and cold snacks. Service with a smile, top team of ladies, fantastic. Specialities - many fans opted for a pie/peas/gravy combo, looked good. I recommend the home-made scones - wonderful! Overall - 5 out of 5. Faultless, and all for a good cause. Not only were the staff in the refreshments bar friendly, so were the turnstile operators and stewards. Excellent evening.
Whitton Albion
  • Front cover? There was no front cover. It was an A4 photocopied (and handwritten) teamsheet.
  • Value for money? It was free.
  • Decent content? The basics - both team line-ups in full (1-18 and 1-16).
    Attractive design? No.
  • Best article? Not applicable.
  • Overall? Underwhelming.
 Food: Excellent sausage sandwiches.
  • Front cover? Aerial view of Glanford Park and photo of the home side's England U-16 player Nathan Stanton. Plus both clubs' crests.
  • Value for money? Not bad, £2 for 40 pages, of which 10 are adverts. 
  • Decent content? Yes, and plenty of it. A full page on the life and times of Denis Smith for starters! Fizzio's Feature, amusing trivia page, and a look back at The Iron's opening home League fixtures over the years. 
  • Attractive design? Very eye-catching. 
  • Best article? 'A Match To Remember' - Scunthorpe 4 Wrexham 3 from 1957. 
  • Overall? Sets the standard. 
 Food: Very chunky burgers - £1.30' 'Decent pasty for £1.20 with more filling than is the norm at football grounds. Decent coke for 90p. Coffee - £1. Hot and wet but this wasn't coffee. A disgrace - sold out of hot food halfway through half-time.
