Diary - Friday 8 May 2009

8 May 2009

Bloody rain. While it's miserable outside, there's sunshine trying to break through the clouds: Joe Widdowson is all up for upping sticks from the bright lights of that London for a daily glance at the Dock Tower building and boogeying nights away at that Flares building in Meggies. The only hurdle is clarifying the situation with his current club West Ham. But the lad's keen, and when was the last time you heard a player, any player, so enthusiastic about wanting to join Grimsby, let alone such a bloody good one? Answers in an email, unless your name is 'Kris'.

News on the other loanees' situation can also be summarised in a weather forecast fashion: Peter Sweeney (overcast), Adrian Forbes (brightening), and Barry Conlon (down to his kegs it's that hot). Sounds like a matter of sums for two out of three, but if the club needs help convincing Sweeney, a player who certainly adds glue and groove to the Town side, Idle Diary has a bit of spare time on his hands these days, and would gladly take a break from trying to give his lawn that two-tone effect loved by award winning groundsmen.

Which, with bugger all else news, leaves me time to prepare for cheering on Scunny against the Evil Franchise tonight. Ciao.
