Tomorrow afternoon, Bath City start a new season in a new league – the National Conference, or as the corporate fat cats are calling it, The Blue Square Bet Premier… quiet a mouthful – I prefer the former.
I will, of course, be attending the opening game, which is against an old enemy from past seasons, Hayes & Yeading United. Even in the lower divisions, this was one of my least favoured trips, so going there again is something of an anticlimax to the start of the season.
Hopefully we can something we haven’t done before and actually beat Hayes & Yeading. It would also be nice to not emulate the previous two opening-day fixtures and concede four goals!
Time for bed now – I have an early start, but if you consider I’ll be travelling to Gateshead in a few months, this weekend’s game is almost a local derby.
No trackbacks yet.

- 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. In consideration of the very serious and unprecedented national public health emergency caused by the coronavirus, the Board has taken the decision to suspend the...

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.
