Weekend "Tidy Up"

... might as well start with the football - no confidence, no conviction, no direction, no goals, no hope - Mossley's season appears to have finished - which is bad news for attendances, cash flow etc etc. People will JUST NOT BOTHER - fact. In fact - keeping up to date with Belper Town as I do - you might as well substitute the phrase "Belper Town" for "Mossley" in the above equation - sad but true ... The only cheery football note was of course Stafford Rangers in their "Great Escape" adventure @ Gloucester City - unfortunately it might be at Hyde's expense eventually - but as I've noted before, let's hope Gainsborough do the honourable thing in the relegation race ...

After the game me and Mrs Smiffy wandered over to our mates in Rochdale - big meal, a bit of a night walk and sleep. Short walk on Sunday - crap weather (!) and home to cook a belated St Patricks Day dinner - Beef & Guinness Pie - very nice indeed.

Today - day off - dentist (final score Fillings 1 Extraction 1) and a "bit of a chat" at the bank (it's a great feeling when they ask "Do you have a mortgage ?" and you can say "Not any more !!"). Got around to buying a "Non League Paper" (they certainly cocked up this week with the Unibond 1 North results - they'd printed all the midweek results there instead of Saturday's - shoot the subbie !). Midweek football can only be Glossop North End v Alsager Town on Wednesday night - £12 on the Ashton United bus to Buxton tomorrow is a touch too much ...

Some odds and ends from the weekend - picture-wise ...
