GREETINGS

Hi everybody,

This is my first blog of 2009 - sorry I haven't submitted for some time, I have been rather carried away with my new toy FACEBOOK!
Well it's been a strange old weekend. It started off well enough as I went to see Elle and Joel in Leeds and spent Friday night there and had a wicked time! On Saturday afternoon I went to see Harrogate Town in action (or not as was the case!) at home to Stalybridge Celtic. We lost 1-0 due to the most outrageous communication breakdown between our defender and goalkeeper. We are conceding an awful number of goals at present and our Manager has said that we seem to be finding different ways of leaking goals at the moment! Due in part to the economic downturn, Town's players had been requested to take a cut in their wages. This is bad in itself but as I discovered on the Town website last night the entire playing squad have been put on the transfer list. While one cannot dismiss the impact that the credit crunch is having, I don't think Town have helped themselves as attendances are poor plus we had been knocked out of all the cup competitions before the turn of the year.
This is very scary and I will give you the latest in my next blog.

All the best

William
