Tough start this year actually. We back up att home to Fleetwood on Tuesday.

Crawley's bunch of cloggers duly given dose of their own medicine. Certainly a nicer drive home than it was after copping that 6-1 tubbing there last season. Happy days.

Did it finish 1-0?

Aye. Any more would have been unduly flattering, but I reckon we edged it by virtue of at least trying to play football.

357 City in a crowd of little more than 1300 too, which I thought was a decent effort, especially as it's a 600+ mile round trip from York.

The Barcelona of Blue Square Premier!

FC Basel. Get it right...

Good effort.

What do you reckon your chances are this season?

I'd like to think we're play-off material, but think we lack a little bit of quality in key areas now that Martyn Woolford's gone to Scun*horpe. I was worried about the problems we had last year against the more agricultural style of certain teams not being rectified, but we dealt with it pretty well today. Wrexham at home Thursday (live on Setanta) and they've won well today, so we'll learn a bit more then.

Fair enough.

I think I might be off to the game on Thursday with a mate actually.

Jolly d. Be sure to pop into the Social Club beforehand for a snifter of port.
