Diary - Friday 26 December 2008

26 December 2008

The Diary in all its guises has been outspoken in its criticism of Chairman Fenty now and then, particularly with regard to the new stadium project. But your Guest Diarist would like to thank Coun. Fenty for a nice Christmas message video on the superb new official site yesterday (I'm too hung over to put a link in but you will find it easy enough).

Mr Fenty made a point of thanking the away supporters who have not dwindled in numbers, and who seem to increase in intensity and fervour. I'd like to add a clap or two of my own to that and feel a bit shame-faced about not getting to more away matches myself. But see you at Barnet I will - always a treat to sample their hot grey chocolate sludge and stamp my feet on their lovely terracing.

Today the SNOS is predicting five and a half thousand with 1800 tickets already sold and a kid offer. It's sharp bright weather where I live so hope it is the same in Meggies later. Get yourselves down there and let's hope for a cracking match.

And here's the annual message to us all from the mighty Sibbo: "Merry Christmas to all at Cod Almighty. May 2009 bring with it joy to the the mighty Mariners and a turn-a-round to our fortunes. Up The Mariners." Hope we don't have to wait until May though mate. See yer.
