    Me too Jimmy!! What do I know about football? I know absolutely nothing about the Alex, first game was only in 1965, hey ho!! I have an opinion that doesnt count, so here goes....
    Difficult game for me. First match of the season against a side who will be expecting to be there or thereabouts. Mansfield aren't paying Nigel Clough the sort of money that LB can only dream of, to lose at little ol' Crewe.
    Would take a draw, but the optimist in me says a footballing lesson handed out and a 3-1 win.

    Well on the basis you are using that sort of timescale. I started watching the Alex in 1955 and so does that make me a better judge than you? Also I was watching the very best of the PL/ First Division back then when Crewe played away and so some may say that my experience of watching AND playing football is worth a mention.... Mind you I had free and subsidized rail travel back then...Travelling to Barrow, Darlington, Crystal Palace and Burnely and Wolves etc to watch the First Division would have been quite expensive but the ticket prices were dirt cheap back then...

    1-1 draw for me..
