Saturday 23rd April 2011 - Football league 2 (but only just)
This was physically painful to watch. All I could think as the minutes ticked away was " I don't
have to do this again". This was the end of the season for me. It could very well be the end of my
regular attendance at Whaddon Road and this pointless blog.
Saturday 9th April - Football League 2
Apparently prescriptions for anti-depressants are at an all time high. Walking through the blossom
filled parks of Cheltenham on the way to Whaddon Road you wouldn't credit that the town's football
team was responsible for this surge in consumption. That is until you got to the sparsely populated
ground.
Saturday 2nd April - Football League 2
The funeral rights await a season which started with childish high hopes and comes unstuck with the
humiliations of late middle age. You wish you could slink away and let it die. The trouble is I
know where I'll be next Saturday at 3pm.
Crewe Alexandra: R Taylor; M Tootle, A M Westwood, D Artell, D Blanchett; D Shelley (B Moore 81), A
R Westwood, L Bell; S Miller (J Connerton 77), C Donaldson, J Grant.
Football League 2 - Sunday 27th March
The clocks have gone forward, the end of the season is in sight, everyone seemed to have had a nice
lunch and despite the chill we were all set for a quiet game of Sunday football. A goalless draw
would have been very acceptable. Nothing too taxing or likely to raise the blood pressure and put
us off our teas.
Football League 2 - Saturday 12th March 2011
Luckily I wasn't there, I was walking on the Dorset downs. Wonderful countryside. Unluckily for my
informant he was standing on our spot at Whaddon Road. He texted the bad news as it laboriously
unfolded. The reception was poor which meant the texts came late and in an odd order.
