Yep, another home game.....

I enjoy being proved correct as much as the next man.  Probably more than the next man if I'm being honest.

But when it comes to yet another blank home Saturday I would have preferred to be wrong this one time.  Come the Friday and the heavens open once again and a fallow home game period stretching back to 20th December yawns ever wider.  Tomorrow's game against Redditch has no earthly chance of being played.

Assuming the next home game against Banbury (the other perennially flooded-club), takes place, we will have gone 2-full months without a home game.  God alone knows how the club are budgeting for this inadvertent mid-Winter break, but it can't be long before our perennial nay-sayers will be whispering about the squad not getting paid and players being tapped-up.....

We all have ways of gauging whether a game will be on or not.  Whether wedging a heel into the squelchy back garden to test the softness or feeling your old bones starting to ache, we all have a fool-proof method of gauging inclement weather.  

For me, I find that this path to the rear of the appropriately named Poppyfields estate is my "litmus test".  I cannot recall us ever playing at home on a Saturday if the section of path is at all flooded on the Friday.  This was it this morning. Hmm.

See you all at St Ives next week.....
