I felt a bit cheeky leaving the others to go on an ale trail round Chorley, but I really didn’t want to face a game like this stone cold sober, plus Chorley might be on the small side, but it’s packed with some really good pubs. Not having anything to eat, Val made sure I…… Continue reading 12/5/19 Chorley v Spennymoor Town, National League North Playoff Final, Penalty Clause.
5/5/19 Reading v Blues, Another Chapter Ends . . . . Not Quite.
Originally I wasn’t going to bother doing the last game of the season at Reading, as Sky now controls our domestic game at the top level, all championship games are played on a Sunday with a 12:30 kick off, that way, they can take their circus to any ground they deem worthy of an interested…… Continue reading 5/5/19 Reading v Blues, Another Chapter Ends . . . . Not Quite.
4/5/19 Charlton Athletic v Rochdale, Surrounded By Pigs.
After Val’s full English, we got the 350 bus to close to Heathrow to meet hubby John, unfortunately there’d been a miscommunication, where we’d gone to meet him, wasn’t where we were supposed to be, and by the time this was ascertained, it was too late to make the trip up to Shropshire for the…… Continue reading 4/5/19 Charlton Athletic v Rochdale, Surrounded By Pigs.
28/4/19 Blues women v Liverpool Women, Women’s Super League, Blue and White.
I’d given myself 3 choices for my last day of freedom before having to drag myself back to the wind and grind of work, Worcestershire v Warwickshire in the Royal London cup, the remnants of storm Hannah already putting me off the thought of sitting in the cold, watching cricket, for that one, Coventry v…… Continue reading 28/4/19 Blues women v Liverpool Women, Women’s Super League, Blue and White.
27/4/19 Blues v Wigan Athletic, Only The Dregs Left.
Last home game of the season, and even after being stripped of 9 points by the E.F.L., there’s nothing to play for, that included the opposition. (Not the 9 points penalty, obviously) the beautiful weather of the Easter holiday, replaced by storm Hannah, reported with unbridled enthusiasm by Matt Taylor, I wondered if he’d actually…… Continue reading 27/4/19 Blues v Wigan Athletic, Only The Dregs Left.
22/4/19 Spennymoor Town v Chorley National League North, Not a Spennymoor.
I knew it was going to be a Sunday service, but hadn’t bothered checking the timetable, after finding out that waiting for the bus would make it touch and go to whether I would catch the train I’d got advanced tickets for, I decided to walk into town, it wasn’t like it was raining, or…… Continue reading 22/4/19 Spennymoor Town v Chorley National League North, Not a Spennymoor.
20/4/19 Wealdstone v Dulwich Hamlet, National League South, Norwegian Blue, Norwegian Would.
Is it a conspiracy by the company’s of the U.K., that engineering works on the railway, mustn’t disrupt their employees getting to work, but their holidays can be? Work at Euston, meant the station was out of action, for the entire weekend, the German government owned Chilton line, was cashing in on it. Moor Street…… Continue reading 20/4/19 Wealdstone v Dulwich Hamlet, National League South, Norwegian Blue, Norwegian Would.
