Diary - Friday 24 April 2009

24 April 2009

Town will have to play quite a bit better than last week if they are going to get anything out of tomorrow's visit to Bournemouth your Guest Diarist woke up musing this morning. The match is just about a sell-out with no tickets available on the day says the superb new official site. But there are still just a few left at the Town ticket office.

It is a long way to go, and a difficult match in front of a sell-out home crowd, so prepare yourself, gentle reader, for the possibility of the season going down to the last match. Town manager Mike Newell, in a free interview on Mariners World, also broke the news that Sweeney has picked up an injury in training this week and that 'Jean-Louis is also struggling'.

But I have a feeling that we'll lose but that Chester will fail to win so our season may end in a damp squib sort of way - safe but knowing we are crap really and thinking the best half of the team may not be back next season. Sorry folks - that sounds horribly pessimistic when I know you are looking for unbridled optimism. OK then - comfort yourselves with the thought of how much extra tax those Premier footballers will be paying.
If you are trekking down to Bournemouth then my wishes go with you. I will be stuck in that Diana hospital watching a brave man slowly die, which is another reason today's Diary is a bit early, a bit short, a bit downbeat, and well, shit really. I hope it's a great match, the sun shines, and we get at least a point. See yer.
