Alright, not really much to report but felt a wee update was necessary. Feedback from the Witchery game is 100% positive. Everybody was wholly able to walk away from the game with head held high and the progress from the last match is truly massive. Consensus is that we are building up a good head of steam and I’m trying to pick up a couple more fixtures against intra mural sides. I’ve been in touch with the people at Edinburgh Uni and they have kindly sent an email out on my behalf telling all the teams that we’re looking for games. In particular i’m chasing up teams from the same division as the Witchery and Jerry West Ham FC are the only team I’ve managed to directly e-mail thanks to one of the Witchery boys giving me the captain’s email.
Another small piece of business is the ongoing saga of the strips. After our game last week I left the sample top in the care of the staff at the pub for Nigel to peruse after his holiday and hopefully a meeting can take place shortly after his return. One brilliant thing is that we’ve now got June Cassidy on our side and we’re now pretty much guaranteed success. On top of this progress I’ve planted a thought in Chris Hoban of edinburghwhiskyblog.com‘s head. As they are a newly started enterprise seeking advertising I’ve approached him about making them our short sponsors for a small fee. Progress report on this to follow soon.
Bit more interest is building up in the team now and we’ve just today broken the 2000 hits mark, which I reckon is pretty quality for a couple months. Attendances are on the up too and it’s only a matter of time until we merit our own 50 seater stadium.
Keep the faith

On the matter of attendances, I think its worth pointing out that the numbers spectating are more than some might think. As well as those willing to brave the weather at the side of the pitch, I have it on good authority that some have been watching from the comfort of overlooking residences. For those interested in booking the “directors box” for any home games, details can be obtained from the Captain. Obviously this facility cannot be secured free of charge but a bottle of half decent (actually cheap plonk will do) red wine would probably secure a grandstand seat in a fully heated and dry environment!!

nice one, hopefully better weather will entice them out pitchside, gonna start advertising the fixtures better to, probably a sly poster in the pub and might even drop wee notes through onlooking flats too, potential fixture against teuchters in the pipeline, watch this space
