28 December 2010

Reserve Diary writes:"The game should be on," declared the SNOS just last night, on without a hitch. Just as Woodses' men were about to embark on a new beginning our hopes were dashed this morning by referee Richard Wigglesworth, a man from a Dickens novel who confirmed that a frozen pitch would once again keep us from our beloveds Leary and Ridley.

It's not like someone from GTFC to make an outlandish claim only for the complete opposite to happen straight after though is it?

Town are unbeaten in the league since 10 October, a full 79 days ago, but have picked up just eight points in that time. Ah well, another kickabout for the squad at the Playsport centre it is then.

Anyway, if you're fed up the club shop is flogging a 1997/8 season DVD, rather than a dead horse. Yes, it really has taken 12 years to bring out a commemorative DVD of the club's greatest campaign. It's a tenner by the way.

If you're at a loose end this afternoon, why not have a read of the Telewag's 2010 Mariners review. We all know the ending, but keep reading it and willing the players to put any sort of performance in during that dreadful 25 game run, and perhaps you'll change history. Or just watch this instead. Pretty much how I've felt every summer - opening a gift bag full of new signings only for them to fail more miserably than the last set.

Still, at least we're giving the Aussies a good hiding down under. Perhaps Andy Todd's in the crowd; he plays his football for Perth these days. I'm off to work soon, see ya.
