Diary - Tuesday 1 November 2005

1 November 2005

What news today to cast light and joy into the gloomiest corners of our dark and meaningless lives, o reader? Well, Grimsby Town reserves are playing at home against York City in the Pontins Holidays League at seven o'clock tonight, and it costs two pounds to get in (£1 concessions). The "clash", as Town's official website optimistically refers to this evening's proceedings, was originally due to be played last Wednesday but presumably had to be put back to accommodate the Mariners' much-anticipated but hastily forgotten League Cup match against Newcastle. I wonder whether they'll need to open up the sections of temporary seating again tonight.

And, well, that's about it for today, other than the staggering news that the Lincolnshire County Cricket League has rejected a proposal to lower the minimum age at which players are allowed to compete. This being the case, today's truncated Diary will end by hoping for a Steve Slade hat-trick tonight and proving to you once again that Blundell Park is truly a special place. Bye.
