A View from the Bus shed ???

Well it was the first home friendly for my beloved Seasiders today we played Stocksbridge park steels who play in the Evo Stick premier division two leagues above us it was a very good game and our boys were excellent in fact the passing simply brilliant. Town legend Phil Harrison put us one nil up with a nice effort slipping the ball past the keeper at the left hand post.Steels almost hit back straight away but Mark Wilberforce pulled of one of the "How the hell did he get that" saves the lad is an amazing keeper, a couple of times i kept on thinking how well we might have done in the Evo stick league as at times we passed Stocksbridge off the park. come the second half the Steels equalised with a superb piece of football and a blistering shot left Wilber with no chance (just built the lad up and then this happens lol). I think i can say we were the better team on the day the new signings slotted in nicely we definitely wont miss the mercenaries who left for Scarborough. Craig Hogg a player who we know has a great talent had a very good game today possibly his best in a Town shirt he never stopped running he was taking the ball around players he looked sharp and fingers crossed he will have a great season for us and today when he beat the Steels off-side trap he showed us his quality when he smashed the ball past the keeper to give us a 2-1 lead and win us the match.

finally and with great disappointment when i arrived at the Queensgate stadium i am greeted by Norman some know him as Big Norm "seen what someone has done to the Bus shelter" so when we get there its all looking very nice its been painted at the back a nice cream colour but someone has also painted the words "THE BUS SHED" i was so wound up by this for crying out loud its a bloody BUS SHELTER what do i do change the name of my blog to A VIEW FROM THE BUS SHED, The good news is after i complained to Mr Smurthwaite he said he would arrange to have it changed or painted over.

We are playing Scarborough Town on Wednesday night, some say it could be their last ever game after Scarborough council failed to give them permission to put floodlights up and a few other requirements that would have allowed them to play in the NCEL division 1 its such a shame, they are a team made of young Scarborough lads that were very successful in their previous league. i like this team and i kind of wanted them to do well they are also run by Mitch Cook a very good football coach, i met him about 5 years ago and he is a very nice man, my two mates who are Athletic fans dreaded the thought of Scarborough Town getting in the NCEL they reckoned if they were to win the NCEL 1 and Athletic failed to win the league it could have been the death of Athletic as supporters might prefer to support a team from Scarborough that plays in Scarborough damn shame it all fell through a damn shame.
