The pervading sentiment around Surrey Street at 5.30 pm on Saturday was one of relief as the home side progressed in the FA Vase but only after making life very difficult for themselves.
The FA Vase is special to all followers of Glossop North End and the journey started this season with a home match against Nostell Miners Welfare of the Northern Counties East League. Nostell have had the most difficult start to their season imaginable having suffered what might be called a triple loss – all of their league matches, their manager and their captain but, as Alexander Pope said in his Essay on Man, “hope springs eternal”.
