It may be a bit late, but I have finally got round to blogging about the weekend.
Valentines Day, I went with Claire to watch Bath City play AFC Wimbledon in London. It may not be as romantic as Paris or Venice, but it was something we both wanted to do and had a really nice day.
It was my first visit to AFC Wimbledon’s Kingsmeadow ground and I was very impressed. The setup has all the makings of a football league club – something I am certain Wimbledon will one day become.
The home fans were some of the nicest supporters I have ever had the pleasure to meet and were equally very complementary of Bath City’s travelling fans. Meeting pleasant rival fans is one of the nicest things about non-league football.
The game ended in a 3-2 victory for AFC Wimbledon. Something I am a little disappointed about, as like every City fan (and a lot of Wimbledon supporters), I feel City deserved at least a draw. While saddened by the defeat, we left London full of optimism and in the knowledge that if City reproduce the same performance every week, the play offs will be more than just a dream.
I wish AFC Wimbledon all the best, and as it looks like City won’t do it, hope they finish as league champions. I would love to see them in the football league one day, and ideally beat, and relegate, the MK Dons, who stole the original Wimbledon’s league status.
I have now finished work for a week. I don’t have too may plans, but Claire is back down in Bath, which will be nice.
Tomorrow we will both spend Valentines Day travelling to the ever-romantic suburb of London – Wimbledon.
The original plan was to visit Wimbledon Common to try and find a Womble, but after being convinced that they were actually puppets and didn’t exist, we decided to go and watch Bath City play AFC Wimbledon.
AFC Wimbledon currently sit top of Conference South and having seen them play City back in August, know are an extremely good football team. It won’t be easy, in fact I think we’ll lose :o(
Win, lose or draw, I am sure I will have a very nice day with Claire. It’s just that 3 points would make a great day, a perfect one.
Tickets for England’s World Cup Qualifier against Ukraine in April have been ordered.
Hopefully it’ll be better than the Switzerland match I went to last year.
Danny Baker, Frank Butcher, the Hull seat thieves… your boys took one hell of a beating!
So, it’s the big one tonight. The hooligans dream – Leeds v Millwall – live on Sky. I hear TV’s hard man, Ross Kemp, will be at the game. Forget Afghanistan, Los Angeles and New York – this is where the real trouble lies. No wonder the game has been chosen for TV.
The West Yorkshire Police must be chuffed to bits with this fixture. If anyone wants raid Dixons in Leeds City Centre, tonight’s the night – all the police will be at Elland Road.
Score prediction for tonight…
Leeds United 3 – Millwall 5,979
(on the number of arrests)
On the football side of things, I’ll go for Leeds 2-1 Millwall.

However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.
