Big soft spot for Wrexham after the support we have given them in the battle against Guterman (their Archer) and the new regime is completely integrated into the community, not just a far off ego project, so a thoroughly worthwhile event all round

My personal feeling, and this is just mine and I'm not casting aspersions at those who feel differently, is that we have achieved everything we fought for, and more, I still marvel at where we are and love it when we win....but am sanguine when we don't.

Reposting my FB tribute. Lovely bloke: knew him for nearly 50 years. One of the very first Brighton punk bands in 1977, part of the legendary Vault scene and on the first Vaultage album: saw them there, then many times at their legendary Alhambra 'residency', followed them to the Marquee in...

Fickledom is the enemy of football happiness.

3rd in the AAA county under 16s or 17s 400 yards or metres (can't remember) at Withdean in 1973/1974. Won a spoon. Lost it straight away.

I shall be composing until I'm decomposing :)

Skids inspired the title, of course!
