Mossley - the end is nigh ???

Yep - it's a "no pix post" - and it's straight from the ....

This weekend could see Mossley relegated - if Ashton United win, and Mossley lose, that condemns the Lilywhites to 3rd bottom - unless they win their last three games 45-0 and Ashton lose similarly.

12 months ago we were "limping across the line" to the Unibond Division One Championship - oh yes we celebrated - but the cracks were already there - things were just not right on the pitch and off the pitch - the club was not a community club - the days of interaction between fans and management were long since passed. yes there were a few of the players who were listening - and answering back (!) - but it just wasn't all there.

This season - well you tell me.....

Actually I'm going to cancel this post as of now - and try to put together a more thoughtful/thought-provoking bit of gabble, hopefully "getting it on" before Saturday. I won't be going to Witton - if it all goes pear-shaped I may well say/do something not necessarily that I may regret - but something which won't look/sound good for Mossley AFC - and despite all the sh*t that has been going on this season (and much happened last season too I'll have you know !) - we "the disloyal", we "the argumentative", we the fans, we'll be the one's left clutching onto the bows of the sinking ship when all the rats have run off with the life rafts ........

We all know it's going to change at the end of the season - our backers are all but certain to pull out - and when the money goes so will Manager and Assistant (who've sucked a good percentage of the weekly budget for themselves) for starters, and surely the better paid members of the squad. Naturally no official announcement has been made up to now - which gives the remnants/left-overs even less time to recover/regroup/find alternative methods of funding for season 2007/08.

Ashton United are at home to Lincoln United on Saturday - a team with nowt to play for - so you'd tend to err towards three points for the Robins. Meanwhile as noted above Mossley are away at Witton Albion - a team vying for automatic promotion - so hardly likely to be handing out any favours......

I'm going to watch Woodley Sports on Saturday - a team with tiny support, a team with a tiny budget - but a team that has always managed to get no less than 110% effort out of each and every player - plus they're playing Belper Town and it gives my new camera a chance to say "Hi !" to its previous owner - Tim the BTFC "snapper" - also gives me a chance to pump him for info to try to make my snapping even better !!!
