Happy Fathers day

Happy Fathers day to Martin H, happy Fathers to Fiona's dad Iain ( plus Happy 65th B'day and happy retirement! )in fact Happy fathers day to all !!!. A top weekend is coming to end end, I just have to polish off a nice bottle of Chateaux-Neuf and a box of Green and Black choccies and we are there!.
Not much rest was had but that's the way we like it. A weekend at the beach , starting with Croyde yesterday and ending at 8 p.m - the children were still in the sea!!- on Fistral beach today. Not even a dog relieving itself on my shorts, flip-flops and ray-bans could dampen my spirits !.
They say the football world is small and 'they' are right. Someone shouted "Greavsie" yesterday on Croyde beach, it turned out to be Rob Ullathorne, an old mate of mine from Northampton. The last time I saw him was on the Mansfield pitch the night we lost on penalties in the play-offs!. He is now obsessed with surfing and fancies a move down to Devon !!!.
Then today I bumped in to an Oxford fan on Fistral beach, he said how delighted he was that we were promoted - Cambridge going up for an Oxford fan would, I'm sure, would have been too much to bear.
I know one thing, next seasons Blue Square Premier will be one of the hardest divisions to get out of - what with Luton, Oxford, Cambridge, Stevenage, Wrexham and Chester all chomping at the bit, plus the likes of Histon making unexpected challenges to the title - it will be an extremely tough ask.

Good job we won at Wembley then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
