Diary - Monday 30 August 2004

30 August 2004

Their team has gained just one point in their last 14 away games, failing to win on the road since November 2003, and Town fans still on a high from two excellent victories in the last six days are given a reality check as this appalling run continues with a 2-0 defeat at Wycombe, probably the worst of the three teams to have faced the Mariners since last Tuesday. Good pressure from the black and whites in the first half again avails nothing and for the second time this season Russell Slade's side go behind while a player is off the field receiving treatment - this time Ashley Sestanovich - as the home side steal the lead in the 43rd minute. Early after the restart Wanderers' Adam Birchall grabs his and his side's second, and Town's second-half performance is a poor one. Just to make a bad afternoon worse, when inviting messageboard observations on today's game, GTFC's official website adds: "Away fans welcome too." That's today's game at Adams Park, High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, some distance away from the south bank of the Humber.

Darren Barnard grabs a last-minute winner for Aldershot after former GTFC target Tim Sills had hauled the Shots level at Woking (or should I say "Glenn Cockerill's Woking"); Iain Ward has signed for Brigg Town; and the Diary is off back to bed.
