Agreed, Ceefs - all the best to Alty. The local rivals it's ok to like - and, goodness knows, it would be nice to have one short trip next term (assuming Macc don't get thrown out of League Two)! And, having worked down there for a couple of years Weymouth to come up too which will give me the perfect opportunity to visit and have something to eat at a very nice Italian on the seafront and consume large amounts of alcoholic beverage with former work colleagues. Although after last time I should probably avoid the cider bar by the harbour  . Weymouth win on penalties. You will be dining at that Italian restaurant NYE. It will be another long trip but preferable to Dartford. |

Excellent, not that I really need an excuse tbh. I try and get down every year and would have visited already but for covid-19. Weymouth's ground is quite good actually, it's a legacy of a previous owner who had ambitions to take them into the league before running out of cash/interest. I used to alternate between them and Dorchester Town when I was down there for midweek games.

Back in the North, Alty have taken the lead with around 25 to go...

Me too, matey. On another matter - is it just me, or did anyone else not realise that the FA Cup Final is this afternoon/evening?!  |

A mate just texted me about it around ten minutes ago, which was genuinely the first time I knew it was being played today - I blame United. Gone are the days of Mum going out shopping, Dad getting in the Watneys party seven and a carrier bag full of salt and shake crisps, then me and my mates going out onto the nearest stretch of grass at full-time to replicate the final. When I was growing up, the FA Cup was THE event on the football calendar. |

...and back then, it didn't matter whether you cared about the teams or not, you could still get into some classics, like the replay of city v spurs, or spurs v coventry.
now, i really couldn't give a toss. it's kids in the teams until the semi-finals, and i still crave the semis being at villa park or old trafford rather than already having been to wembley if you reach the final.

Back to the important stuff: Alty have held on, and are up.  |

Congrats to Alty, the right result and firmly putting last season's disappointment behind them!  |
