One of my long suffering Sisters, has been keeping close tabs on me since my accident, and I’m sure that given the chance, she’d have me under some kind of house arrest, so I don’t go doing it again. In fairness to her, she’s susceptible to anxiety, always has been, if she had nothing to…… Continue reading 12/10/19 Stalybridge Celtic V Bamber Bridge, Northern Premier League Premier Division, Bridging The Gap.
5/10/19 Hearts v Kilmarnock, He Must’ve Clambered On Top Of His Zimmer Frame.
Whether it was lack of sleep on Friday morning, and not enough sleep on Friday night, I’m not sure, probably both, but getting up to make the 6:15 out of New Street up to Edinburgh, wasn’t easy, I vowed to sleep on the train going up, something I wasn’t able to do initially, as fate…… Continue reading 5/10/19 Hearts v Kilmarnock, He Must’ve Clambered On Top Of His Zimmer Frame.
4/10/19 Blues v Middlesbrough, Starting In The Middle.
After grabbing a couple of hours kip, I caught the bus into town, before getting cash out of the bank to cover the two back to back games I was going to be doing that weekend, down to the booking office at New Street to get my train tickets for the following weekends ground hop,…… Continue reading 4/10/19 Blues v Middlesbrough, Starting In The Middle.
28/9/19 Derby County v Blues, Drunken Crash Test Dummies.
After St Andrews, obviously, both Shrewsbury and Wolves, due to their closeness to where I grew up, (physically, though probably not yet mentally) I’ve done games at Derby, the most.

21/9/19 Blues v Preston North End, Bell And Ball.
Coming out of the flat to get the bus into town, I couldn’t help wondering where on earth the glorious weather that we’ve had this past week, was Hiding during the summer.

14/9/19 Charlton Athletic v Blues, Jude The Unobscure.
At New Street station, Darryl was already on the concourse, of course, and I thought I was early for the train. Jinksy was next to join us, while we waited for Mikey, who’d settled on getting the train into town, as the buses weren’t running properly from where he lives. Once he’d arrived, we went…… Continue reading 14/9/19 Charlton Athletic v Blues, Jude The Unobscure.
7/9/19 Stafford Rangers v Mickleover Sports, F.A.Cup 1st Qualifying Round, Aim Range.
I was disappointed with my personal performance last season in terms of games attended, something I was determined to put right this season. This game was the 15th game, 9th new ground. For me, the only redeeming feature, was the amount of F.A.Cup games I managed, this game would already be the 3rd of this…… Continue reading 7/9/19 Stafford Rangers v Mickleover Sports, F.A.Cup 1st Qualifying Round, Aim Range.
