Seagulls on the way back

Good news from Weston Football Club. Not only has relegation been avoided thanks to mergers and financial collapse elsewhere, but the signs are encouraging for the new season.

I attended several games at the end of last season and we were pretty poor – not always helped by some bizarre tactical decision by the management. However, the new boss, Tony Ricketts, seems to have the right ideas.

Right now Weston aren’t going to win the league, but I do want attractive football (even if we lose) and players who look like they care about pulling on the shirt. Tony’s comment that his approach when signing players is “it’s a case of how good are they, how hungry are they, how much do they want it” is absolutely right.
