Chesterfield FC - a tale of woe.

After two successive relegations hopes were high that Chesterfield would at the very least put up a good showing in the National League. Indeed promotion was anticipated by the bookies and more optimistic fans. I was not so sure, the new manager had just overseen the relegation of Barnet to the National League.

The season began well with three wins, then the rot set in.  Two draws and eight defeats leave Chesterfield above the relegation places on goal difference. Difficult times.  Tomorrow Chesterfield visit fellow strugglers Maidstone United.  Must secure at least a draw.  Defeat and who knows, the manager may be shown the door.

A day out

I ventured out on a train trip today, to Gravesend, to meet a mate of long-standing and see how The Bench cafe was performing.  It was my first train trip since my heart problem was diagnosed.  Had a most enjoyable day.  The highlight was seeing the 'new' London Bridge station.  Amazing change and a huge improvement on the old infrastructure.

Liberal Dozycrats and 'Peoples Referendum'.

So, the Liberals want a second referendum as they didn't like the result of the one held in 2016.   Poor dears.

Why the Liberals should use the tag 'Peoples Vote' is beyond me.  Didn't people  vote in the 2016 referendum?
