Option a)

(see Quandary post below)

Mind you, Airborne Toxic Event pretty much describes Northwich's tactics in the last 15 mins of last night's match as Alty dropped deeper and deeper and Vics threw their beanpole centrebacks forward.

A 1-0 slutchfest of a win thanks to a calamitous keeper error gave us our first derby double since 87/88 (thanks Barry) but hardly classic football unless by "classic" you mean "gothic horror".

I'm sure Setanta doesn't regret missing out on televising it for a minute, although You've Been Framed might have had enough material to keep them going for another ten years.

This was probably Alty's worst performance since beating Lewes 1-0, the difference being that this time they were cheered from the pitch rather than being booed off. Funny how a run of results and some local animosity can change people's perspective, isn't it?

So no gig but I saw TATE in November anyway and the Guardian review is not the most enthusiastic.
