But Town Secretary Martin Fallon couldn't even find solace in a Portuguese bar after he adjourned there to contemplate the result:
You come all the way to Portugal, come to watch Imortal FC in Albuferia, only to find a reminder in the bar that @RuncornLinnets are still above @RuncornTown in the league! 😂😂 pic.twitter.com/jeYkpdeDFx

Despite Squires Gate's 3-2 win over Abbey Hey at the Brian Addison Stadium, there was none the less some discontent among the home support in the tea bar queue:
