Having seen Bath City beaten 6-0 at Grimsby and 7-1 in the FA Cup against East Thurrock, I can say from personal experience that you never quite get over witnessing your team get destroyed away from home.
I am no longer able to listen to The Fratellis – Chelsea Dagger, having endured the song’s intro SIX times at Grimsby; with it being played at full volume, after every one of the home side’s goals.
It is these traumas, which have given me the upmost sympathy for Ebbsfleet United fans tonight. Losing 7-0 at Barrow has got to hurt. One of the longest away days in English football and you get stuffed.
It’s approaching midnight as I write this blog, and chances are that many of the supporters are yet to arrive home.
Well done, boys and girls. If it makes you feel any better, we’ve all been there…

- Make A Decision!
Now, children, this is what grownups call a cop-out... The National League Board met earlier today and has reviewed its prior decision to suspend the competition until at least 3rd April 2020. In consideration of the very serious and unprecedented national public health emergency caused by the coronavirus, the Board has taken the decision to suspend the...
- Not Funny
I shouldn’t laugh... [Rovers fans' reactions after relegation] I didn’t find it amusing when the very angry man interrupted his fellow fan, 53 seconds into the video, to bark something about the board. The supporter shortly before the 2 minute mark was also very UNFUNNY, saying how he felt sorry for his embarrassed looking son, before bursting into...
- Remember To Turn The Gas Off
Bristol Rovers got relegated from the Football League this afternoon. I won’t gloat. I have nothing against The Gas, even though it is a little bit funny. OK, quite a bit funny. However, there are many more clubs I would like to see go down instead - sadly, David Moyes' mission to relegate Manchester United... - Talk About Airing Your Dirty Linen In Public
Weston Super Mare don't hold back, do they. A strange decision, especially after they won their cup final against Bath City last month....

Chippenham Town 2-1 AFC Totton
Southern Premier Division
Saturday 31st December 2011 - 15:00
As a Bath City fan, I should naturally dislike Chippenham Town. It is not uncommon to hear the chant “We hate Chipnumb, oh we hate Chipnumb!” echo through the Twerton Park terraces. Prior to Bath City’s promotion from the Southern League in 2007, both...
About Me
So you stumbled across my blog. No doubt after searching for something bizarre on Google. Before you hit that 'Back Button', why not stay and have a read for a few minutes?
If you are after a website which gives advice on how to hack an iPhone X, download the latest Steven Seagal movie, or view nudy ladies, you've come to the wrong place and may now press 'Back'.
However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.
You won't discover how to copy PlayStation 4 games. What you will find is a blog, covering life in the West Country, the highs and lows of supporting two unsuccessful football teams, while sharing a house with a wife and rabbit.
All written by a man, somewhere on the sanity-scale between normal and eccentric.
