Been a while...

Frankly, I've been busy. Sorry about that. Results have been mixed, so no news there really. That's the season summed up. Today's announcement on the offical site is that Lee Maskell has left the club. Its understandable really, his first team opportunities limited. Best of luck to him wherever he lands, this being his second departure from the Chats. I have to admit to being a bit gutted that our only player about whom we can sing a song to the tune of Dizzee Rascal's Jus' A Rascal has left (he's just Lee Maskell, a big Lee Maskell...) Perhaps I'll have to try and work Matt Solly into some Grime. Nothing like the sound of UK Urban music being hollered by white middle class lads on away days.

Which brings me on to my next outing with Chatham. I can't make the home game on Saturday, due to a family commitment, but I might visit Worthing on Saturday week as part of a weekend visiting a friend on the south coast. The weather looks a bit dodgy though - perhaps I'll miss that too. The following week we're away to this years Croydon Athletic, the decidly iffy looking Whitehawk. League position versus status + apparent big budget = confusion.

I'll hopefully get some of the love back for this writing lark soon enough. The malaise has been driven in part by the lack of beauty on it. Let's get things lifting. Come on the Chats!

Sing when when I'm whingeing.

Yep. That's me. We start doing well, like proper well, and I've not much to say. Truth is, I've got a dodgy gut and a dodgy backlight on the laptop. Just found a way of fixing that for under a score though, but will use several hours of my time. In other news, Paul Foley is really fixing things up at TOSC. Kane Rice has rejoined us. That, as Foley has said (and I'm paraphrasing here) should complete things. Four recent signings of Raymone Powell, Billy Shinners, Craig Wilkins, Leroy Huggins combining with Kane will add massive depth to the side. And things are looking up.

We beat Burgess Hill Town (then fifth) 1-0 on Saturday, meaning we've taken eight points from the last 12. We'll have that. Derby time tomorrow, away to Faversham. It's bound to be off due to this crap weather we're having. And home to an ailing Godalming on Saturday (again, weather's looking iffy - are we about to be undone by the seasons??), so plenty to be positive about. Come on the Chats!
