Last night I made the first visit of the season to Chesham United, in fact it felt like my first visit to Chesham for ages with the tail-end of last season dominated by thoroughly enjoying watching Saracens complete the League and European Cup double. Last night was just a friendly, but a very impressive performance.
With no midweek games, the focus switched to the bar and getting things rolling, it still feels too messy for my liking – the hand over to the new management has taken place, but there still seems to be more questions than answers in my mind…but, I am determined that I am not lumbered with …
This was a funny old week. I spoke to the Chairman before going to Finland, he was speaking to the “Owner” and it seems there may well still be some money available towards the playing budget…but what about everything else?

All is still quiet on the Western Front. No word from Andy, no word from the Chairman. Still not sure if that is good or bad news.
Nobody could really have expected an overnight transformation following the departure of manager Jon Meakes, but I guess it would not have been unreasonable to be on the look-out for an improved atmosphere, a fresh start and a sniff of new optimism. Instead the shocking performance (hate to use such words, but it really was, …
