Alright guys, some major steps forward today. Firstly during a massively entertaining 19th Century Literature and Culture lecture I text Gordon Mackenzie for a check up on his progress and also to pick up the number for Ewen Amos from 1811 Witchery FC. His reply contained good news, and bad news. In customary fashion I’ll give you the bad news first, his knee is still pretty mashed and he’s out for another few weeks minimum. The good news is that the Witchery boys are well up for a rematch and he dropped me Amos’ number. So I set about negotiations with Amos and it’s game on for Tuesday the 3rd of March at good old Fisherraw with a 7.30pm kick off. Surely a glorious fixture to herald the return of pitch 1 at Fisherrow.
The next major item of business that occurred today is that I ordered a sample strip from soccerdirectfc.co.uk . I decided to ring them after falling out of touch with Jaz and his colleague Ian was incredibly helpful in setting things up for me and is actually sorting out the sponsor’s logo and also the curvature of the motto on the badge. This guy is a genius if he can do it as after 6 hours of trying I had to admit defeat. Anyway, I ordered a Bilbao style top in emerald with Dicky number 5 on the back and of course our badge and sponsor. I’m counting down the hours until it arrives and I’ll fire a picture up as soon as it does.
Hopefully once this arrives we’ll be able to meet with Nigel and come to some sort of agreement that sees us order a full set and get some punters showing up to support the boys on the pitch. With all this quality news I remain hopeful the boys can turn this into success on the pitch and we really need to step up our game against The Witchery to avenge the defeat at St Daves.
Keep the faith
