Despite Government trumpeting an economic recovery it is absolutely clear that most people don't feel any better off and that the so called recovery is wafer thin based on an engineered house price boom in the south of England. The smart money is on an economic decline post 2015. After 5 years of austerity this is not a happy conclusion for the Coalition Government.
But keeping our football affordable is a must in these gloomy circumstances!
I really hope we can launch a fundraising campaign to ensure Adie and Archie have a competitive playing budget for next season. I miss those Ken Loach film nights, City ale promotions and City DVD sales!
Last Saturday City put in a creditable performance against a good if tetchy Eastbourne side. It was the first game without Jason Mellor and the new keeper Stuart Moore did a solid job after his unfortunate baptism in the Somerset Cup against Taunton. Dave Pratt was at the centre of it again setting up both goals. Josh Low had one of his best games for City and his cross for Dave Pratt's shot which led to Andy Watkins equaliser, was out of the top drawer. It was an encouraging crowd of almost 600 which suggests a few people came back after the successful community day.
This week City play another home game against a Hayes and Yeading side who are on the fringes of the relegation zone. City will be confident of 3 points.
The season reaches its end in just 3 weeks time and after this Saturday City have one final home game on Easter Monday against Farnborough and before that a trip to FA Trophy finalist Gosport Borough.
Then its back to the agonies of Somerset cricket.....it may be another season of struggle I fear but I am sure we will all be keeping an eye on who City will bring in to strengthen the squad for what will hopefully be a promotion charge next season.
