CYCM 12/04/14: The end is pie

Here’s what’s in store at Malcolmses this Saturday:

10:30 Can the Oddies last to the end of the season without doing their backs in from all that lifting? Bookies won’t take bets. Because they don’t really care

11:30 Mike Noodle cares about animals though, as for the last time on a Saturday his home-made veggie pizza and veggie hotdogs grace the Starkies white room

12:00 Doors open

12:15 Dave Frilly, following a failed attempt to bottle the slavver-inducing scent of Westwells, reluctantly takes the cheese and onion pies and tater ‘ash out of his car for the CYCM faithful to enjoy

2:00 Taking You Round The Corner- There’s lies, damn lies, and then there’s downright nonsense. This falls in the latter category

2:20 The Second System- see below

3:00 Get outside and cheer the boys, whilst not singing ‘Come On Cheer the Boys’. You’re better than that

3:45 Get back in to make more precious Starkies memories. It’s not like you’ll have many more chances….

Didn’t think we’d have any music on this week? Well you couldn’t be more wrong. This week’s musical offerings come from two piece The Second System, who say they’re a “musical project consisting of James Watson and Liam Caly, our influences range from Bob Dylan to Bob Marley and everything inbetween???.

They’ll be performing an acoustic set for us. For once, we won’t have a bemused band wondering what they’re doing playing in Bury on a Saturday afternoon, as Liam’s an FC fan and his Dad works on the turnstiles. He’ll probably have a post-Chorley glow like the rest of us, so you’ll know who he is when he comes in.

Thanks once again goes to Reet of Little Red Productions for getting them on for us, especially as we were going to get Footy Scott onto the microphone to share his many witty anecdotes about the zany world of football. He’s a right hoot (sarcasm fully intended).

We also welcome back our old friend, the fib-laden quiz Taking You Round The Corner. It took a break last time so it could reconnect with itself spiritually or something like that, so it’s absolutely itching to get out there and start lying to the Malcs crowd once again. This week’s edition is Buxton related (what with them being our opponents, an’ all), so get yourself well read on Buxton facts and separate the truth from the porkies.

We’ll also have soon to be redundant market stall holder Stu From The Bay. His usual selection of fanzines, programmes, books, hats, t-shirts and possibly more, by way of a nice new ground souvenir (ask Stu when you get in there), will be on offer as always, and if you haven’t seen his programme holders yet, you quite frankly, haven’t lived. Sort it out.

So that, in a particularly easy to crack nutshell, is this week’s Malcolms. Our time in Bury may be near an end, but we’ve still got Easter Monday’s Malcolms to come and there will be more about all that in due course.

Two. Ecky thump.
