Some more highlights and photos from the trip to Southport at the weekend…
Songs we tried (and failed) to get going…
To our Portuguese player, although with the primary aim of winding up the local scouser’s
Sido Jom-ba-ti
You eat Nandos in your country
It could be worse
You could be scouse
And eat rats in your council house
And when the home fans screamed for a penalty
You claim for it all
You claim for it all
Benefits and penalties
You claim for it all
One Bath City fan also (shamefully) upset a local Southport ball boy, who was a little slow at retrieving the matchball when his team were winning. He didn’t appreciate being referred to as a scouser. In response, I think he mouthed the words “duck goth”, but I’m not great at lip reading.
Likewise, the Bristol City fans we encountered at the Birmingham service station on the way home, did not thank us for the reminder of their 3-1 loss to the mighty Leeds United earlier in the day.
As you can tell, we’re proper hard fans. Watch out for the Bath City firm!
MISSING: 4,000 football fans. Last seen – The Sheffield Wednesday FA Cup game
Our impressive collection of flags
It amused me how the matchday stewards were sponsored by a pest control business. Rather fitting, I thought!

- A Play Off Gamble?
While I was enjoying a weekend celebrating Leeds United's promotion, my other club, Bath City, also had a very important event on the Sunday.
Due to finishing the football season in a very respectable fourth place, City were invited to enter a play off competition alongside five other teams.
The prize for winning the play offs is... - 10 Years Ago This Weekend…
Leeds promoted on the Saturday. Bath City promoted on the Sunday.
Anyone who thinks it must have been fun, clearly isn't a football fan. One of the most stressful weekends of my life!
... - Make A Decision!
Now, children, this is what grownups call a cop-out... The National League Board met earlier today and has reviewed its prior decision to suspend the competition until at least 3rd April 2020.

About Me
So you stumbled across my blog. No doubt after searching for something bizarre on Google. Before you hit that 'Back Button', why not stay and have a read for a few minutes?
If you are after a website which gives advice on how to hack an iPhone X, download the latest Steven Seagal movie, or view nudy ladies, you've come to the wrong place and may now press 'Back'.
However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.
You won't discover how to copy PlayStation 4 games. What you will find is a blog, covering life in the West Country, the highs and lows of supporting two unsuccessful football teams, while sharing a house with a wife and rabbit.
All written by a man, somewhere on the sanity-scale between normal and eccentric.
