This was Leek’s first away match of the season, having drawn their opener 2-2 with Spalding, recovering a point from 2-0 down.  Despite the shaky start at home I had high expectations for their first away game.

After a great start Rushall finished, like Leek, mid-table last season. They are the highest placed of the four non-league clubs of North Walsall, at step four. The others – Pelsall Villa, Walsall Wood and Bloxwich are all at step six.

After a few months of Leek Town taunting their fans with play-off aspirations one week, only to dash them the next, they were now sitting in the last play-off spot after a cracking 4-2 win over Cammell Laird. Today they were away at runaway leaders Mickleover Sports. There was an anticipatory buzz around Leek they they could upset the league leaders and further cement a play-off berth, giving rise to an unusually high away following at Station Road.

Watching Leek Town this season started out idyllic, seeing six wins out of six to start with, including a 5-1 win at home to Brigg and a 1-0 away FA Trophy win over local rivals Kidsgrove. As it inevitably would, things went downhill a bit, with a lot of frustrating home draws mixed with a 5-2 defeat at Carlton. I was still enjoying following a team again, though, despite Leek reaching terminal velocity down the Unibond South table.

This match was very much a ‘what the hell am I playing it’ excursion, joining an embarrassingly long list. Driving to Birkenhead on a school night, in driving rain, to watch a Leek performance every bit as awful as the dank weather. And I didn’t even have my first choice camera, so my pictures were awful, too.

Leek Town were in need of a win here. Their early season table topping form was deserting them. They came in to this game down in sixth with Carlton mid-table.

Leek stay top of the league after another 1-0 victory today, against Spalding. Two weeks ago they weren’t on top form, but managed to beat Stamford 1-0, thanks to an acrobatic strike from Miller in the second half. Stamford would’ve felt aggrieved at not getting a point there, though. It was a slim victory.

Mickleover Sports was my first home game as a Leek Town fan. If I wasn’t already addicted on the Saturday, then I certainly was on the following Tuesday at home to Brigg. It wasn’t just the high scoring wins; it was the old routine of being a fan of one club, the familiarity, the same faces, stands and pubs beforehand. The willing of your team to win, rather than the polite attendance of a couple of random ones. It reminded me of days at the Goldstone Ground in the eighties, when I went to every home game.

My first game following Leek Town and their first away game of the season, after a 3-3 draw at home to Loughborough on the opening day. Their opponents for tonight’s game, Willenhall Town, from the Black Country, between Wolverhampton and Walsall. I believe they are the furthest south in the division. They started off on Saturday with a 3-0 defeat at Belper; this is on top of a ten point deduction for going into administration a few months back. Willenhall Town are very fortunate to be playing at all, having been saved from the brink of extinction.

Willenhall Town are known as the Lockmen, due to the Town’s history of making locks and keys. The town has a population of about 40,000 and just to the north is an area called New Invention. I can’t find out why it is so called. What was the invention?
