Thanks to the band for re-issuing their debut album
Thanks to Mr Postie for delivering it safely
My ear drums are happy π
If you need a live album in your collection then if you can get this one from the late 1980s it's a must.
Has to be my biggest musical regret never seeing this band live

Started out last June with a Faroe Islands 3rd Division clash between B36 III and Skala III (7-4!) Played at the national stadium and ended at Llanrhaeadr Ym Mochnant 1-0 Forden United in the Central Wales League North
No new grounds for me, but looking forward to revisiting some crackers

Casuals the league champions were far too good, their first 2 goals in particular were worthy of much higher level than this.

Good afternoon everyone.
What a crazy 7 days it's been so time to let off some steam at The Brewers Tap, home of The Southsea Brewery.
First up is their black IPA - Lights Out
A lovely night for some silly season ground hopping, so up the A34 it was to Lambourn Sports 2-3 Down Ampney in the Wiltshire League. Ironic really as neither side are actually based in Wiltshire but Berkshire and Gloucestershire respectively.

Chalford 2-1 Sharpness
Att: 128
Avonmouths' win elsewhere ended Sharpness title hopes anyway, but 2 goals in 3 minutes either side of the 80 min mark turned the game round in the hosts favour. The winner a controversial penalty.
What do you do on a day off from your vocation as a driver?
That's right, make a 500 mile round trip for midtable Northern Premier League Division 1 East "action" between Ossett United 0-1 Consett.
