The Season Sparks Into Life

After the heavy snow around Christmas, then the fog rolling in to abandon the Halesowen game, you have no idea how sick I felt when I rolled up at 6.00pm on Tuesday night only to be greeted by Martin Woolnough announcing that we have a power cut...

It's Exciting, but some perspective required

Watching the images and video footage come out from Japan following today's earthquake and subsequent tsunami's threatening the Pacific, it's difficult to get worked up by the day to day running of a silly little football club. World tragedies have a horrific way of bringing some perspective to everything you do, I'll never forget watching the Twin Towers disintegrate as we went out onto the field to play a match at Kingstonian. When you see these tragedies, strewn out across tv screens and the internet - houses, buildings and vehicles being washed away; ships caught up in whirlpools; houses being burned to the ground in seconds and huge waves making their way inland, destroying all that gets in it's way...should I really be worrying about a trip to Didcot Town tomorrow?
