Crewe Alexandra FC are an English football team based at Gresty Road in Crewe, Cheshire and nicknamed The Railwaymen due to the town’s historical links with the rail industry. 

Crewe Alexandra finished in last place in England’s Fourth Division in 1979, the local railway works (opened in 1840) next door was slowly dying, but Gresty Road could hold 17,000 in the days of terraces when this home movie was shot.  Gresty Road today.
