Surprise of surprises, today's adventure to the south coast was called off due to the weather craze that's been sweeping the nation. I've been on an enforced absence from work this week. True it is, our firm closed on Tuesday afternoon and didn't re-open. Mustn't whinge, its bonus time off - but its all starting to get a bit The Shining, the snow only subsiding after the rainstorm last night. In fact, its true that yesterday I took Little Miss Sunshine out in the garden, and so as not to completely ruin the snow, I walked backwards in my own footprints. Kubrick would have loved it.
Its disappointing that the game was off. It was Chatham's third postponement in a week, and with another cold snap predicted, we're looking at the possibility of next weekend's game at Whitehawk also failing to beat the freeze. At best, if the game goes ahead, the side would have had an enforced three week hiatus. Will be some tired legs at the end of the ninety.
The following weekend, (18th December), sees the club's christmas present to the fans. Free entry to those with programmes from the home games in November (3 x £2 - and actually, what about the game on the 27th November that was called off??? - does the offer fall apart), or just £2 in for everyone else. We need a bit of publicity. Lordswood planned a free game this weekend, and it was on the back of the Medway News. We need to get the word out there. Sure someone's got it in hand. That'll be my next game, and I can't wait. It'll have been five weeks with no Chats, but for once, most of them weeks missing football will be due to the weather, not my malaise.
Enjoy the sludge everyone...
