As everyone’s favourite evil dictator, Hitler, found out last week, Bath City will be playing Braintree away tomorrow night.
Unfortunately, this fixture is going to have to be put on the very small list of matches I will not be attending this season.
If I was valiant enough to make the effort, I would need to be at Twerton Park by 2pm, where I would return after the game some 12 hours later. Not worth it (even for Bath City), especially as I have no annual leave or lieu time left (having booked all of Christmas off and am starting my new job in January).
Luckily my Tuesday evening will not be totally without excitement – Leeds play Kettering in the FA Cup Replay, and best of all, it’s televised. Thank you, ITV.
A final warning for those making the trip – don’t expect an enthralling victory for City. Since I have started regularly attending away games, the few matches I have missed in recent years have all been worth avoiding…

- 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!

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.
