Football is a cruel mistress. After City's 5-1 victory away to Bishop's Stortford I was really not
in the mood to watch City lose to Eastleigh 0-2 last night. Before the match it looked so easy -
Eastleigh have so far lost to Braintree, St. Albans, Thurrock and Dover. Not exactly the form of a
team you would expect to be making another playoff run.

Non-league football, the heart of the game, where only true fans live and breathe. I used to be one
of them, but remember thinking as I stood frozen on the crumbling terraces of another
middle-of-nowhere 'stadium', slurping thermonuclear hot chocolate the taste of sewer water, that it
helps if you support a winning team in these circumstances.
Bath City played a scoreless draw with Bromley on Saturday, and I was not there to see it. It was
the first home match of the season I have missed (except for one pre-season friendly). You might
wonder what possibly could have kept me away from Twerton Park at such a critical juncture in
City's season.

Lewes 0-3 Newport County (28:11:09)
They came to Sussex in their hundreds with a spring very much in their step. These are giddy times
for the long suffering fans of Newport County. At last their team are playing the football on the
park which is worthy of the fanatical (over 2,000 at home to Bromley thanks very much) support they
attract off it.
