Linesman steals the show at The B&B Final

With such a big game on the horizon Saturday (last game of the season, 5 of us scrapping for 4 play-off places) I guess the final of the Berks & Bucks Senior Cup at Wycombe Wanderers' Adams Park on a Tuesday night was always going to be a bit of an anti-climax. I always seemed to be fairly on my own in not wanting it at a league ground, I still think you would get a better cup final atmosphere at one of the two counties non-league grounds...

A Change of Balls

As we go into the last week of the football season with everything still to play for, things have been no less tense as the Camelot Under 8's rugby season comes towards an end. As mentioned in my previous post, a weekend away at Bournemouth gave me an excuse to miss the Barwell debacle, and today the season culminated with a trip to Tring for the County Festival. If you read this blog purely as a football fan then you might want to skip this post because (other than a possible mention of the metal that surrounds Tring Athletic FC, and the history of) there won't be much footy talk that follows...but perhaps worth a read anyway.

New Era Looms

There is no doubt about it, I'm definitely enjoying life more now that I am no longer Chairman - no more dreading the phone ringing, or fearing to look at my emails just because I know there will be something that needs looking at, resolving or a decision made upon.

I had a meeting with a pen manufacturer this week who had always taken an interest in my involvement with Chesham United, when I pointed out that I was no longer Chairman he totally understood, and summed it up really: "Been there, seen it, got the t-shirt?"
