Printed in the Southern League South and West match v Uxbridge Saturday 11th October 2008. After winning 3 games on the trot and being eighth in the league, we go and lose 2-1 in front of 293 people. The collapse of the financial markets, thanks to a casino of greed and short term gain, isn’t so very different from the way many of our football clubs are run. Alan Sugar once remarked that many of the...

Printed in the Southern League South and West Division match v Cirenester Town Saturday 20th September 2008. We won 3-2 in front of 263 people and are now 10th in the league. Manchester City have always been a club that likes a bit of panto, so it’s a match made in heaven to have been sold by ex Thai Prime Minister Thaksin with a frozen bank account to a bloke who makes Roman Abromivich look like a...

THIS was a deserved victory for Merthyr although the Martyrs could, and perhaps should, have had the points wrapped up inside the first half-hour.

Printed in the Southern League South and West league game v Thatcham Town Monday 25 th August 2008. A 1-1 draw in front of 278 with Thatcham equalizing in the eighth minute of injury time! I know beggars can’t be choosers, but some of the travelling this season is ridiculous. I’m not having a pop at Truro , but surely at this level, travelling should be kept to a minimum. The pyramid has been a wonderful...

Printed in the Southern League South and West Division league game v Burnham Saturday 16 th August 2008 . A fast and furious 2-2 draw in front of 315 - our best league gate for quite a while. So at last our luck seems to have changed. Instead of having to play at our lowest ever level, Slough Town Football Club got a reprieve thanks to Halifax Town going into administration. We didn’t get relegated....
