If, to borrow from The Carpenters, it's not Rainy Days that get us down (as at Hyde), then it's Mondays!

Good afternoon everyone, and welcome to our Easter visitors from Oxford City.
As you may be aware, last Saturday myself, Maccy, and a number of other County fans walked to our match at Hyde - and back again - as part of ‘Hatters Hike 2015’. The total amount raised for our chosen charity, Kidscan, is not yet known, but we have already surpassed our £1,000 target, and would like to thank everyone who donated and supported us on the day. Even though the last time two legs were this painful, we were playing Middlesbrough in the Semi-finals of the 1996/97 Coca Cola Cup, it was all worth it and we’ve raised a huge amount for a great charity, so thank you!
In other news, “C.H.U.M.S.” (County Heaven’s Ultimate Music Soundtrack), has now concluded, and we’ve selected a track from each of our alphabetised winners to go onto the album – a finer collection of songs you will not find! Even better, not only was Maccy’s Abba campaign blissfully short-lived, but the track chosen to represent Queen (who sadly, but inevitably, won Week Q) was not, fortunately, the truly awful Bohemian Rhapsody. I’m not sure which I’m more pleased about.
Speaking of our little Dancing Queen, I shall now hand over to a man who is so good at tweeting, a cat called Sylvester has been following him around all week. Can we eggspect one of your terrible Easter-based puns, Maccy?

I might have given it a crack, Sandy - but, now you’ve used my only yolk, I’m feeling rather cross...
And, just as that quip could have moved us seamlessly on to a report from our Good Friday match, I regret to say that printing deadlines fell before we travelled along the country’s longest cul-de-sac to Barrow! Ah, well.
For rather different reasons, we cannot say for sure how County fared against Hyde, either - given that the programme goes to press before the Maundy Thursday League meeting at which the Conference North will determine whether the result at Ewen Fields, with a few minutes remaining, may stand or the abandoned match needs to be replayed.
Hopefully, by the time you read this, we shall be celebrating the delayed confirmation of three points, and a ‘double’, against our near-neighbours from SK14 (compensating slightly for having the ‘double’ done unto us by Chorley a week previously).
I know, too, that my walking feet would be only too grateful not to have to do that two-way schlep along the A560 quite so soon again afterwards!
Enjoy the game, and the rest of Easter.
