Wanted

It would seem likely that next season will not witness a certain programme editor being relieved of duties (me). I am still hoping, but it looks increasingly remote. What I would really like is a new willing volunteer to assist with the process when I am on holiday fatigues and the like? In addition...

Re: Keith Warren

When Mark told me the news about Keith’s passing my initial reaction was simple disbelief – Keith- are you sure? All our sympathies go to Keith’s family and friends at this time, not forgetting dad John who was also a loyal supporter of many years. Over the last few seasons, John who has suffered in...

THAT OLD CHESTNUT

It was a bit like old times on Saturday when my role as match announcer was reprised for one time only, after both our youthful A team and slightly older first reserve had declared their unavailability. After clearing the first hurdle, courtesy of Nick finding a cable to connect my iPod Nano with th...

Re: Connie Blackburn

Bumped into Chris today and expressed my and the Club's condolences. Typically Chris's response was to remind that at 92 she had had a good innings. As I suspected, he wanted me to outline to him the electrics of the tannoy now. No idea I told him, but I wouldn't be surprised if he pops up to do an ...

Re: Connie Blackburn

My commiserations to Chris and family. Not sure about the tea Darren, but Connie was undoubtedly a great club servant, ever ready to lend a hand and support in whatever way she could. A lovely lady. Chris - pop up and visit sometime - do you fancy playing with the tannoy wiring? I think we are still...

Re: Hitchin Town Womens FC

I am more than happy to include regular coverage in the programme. In the past occasionally there has been a contribution from Callum, but if it is to be anything other than ad hoc, there has to be a commitment to provide me with the content on a regular basis to fit my print deadlines. Essentially,...

Re: BACK IN THE DIM AND DISTANT

As I said Darren my recollections are unreliable in the extreme, so accept them as being about trustworthy as Boris Johnson swearing on the Bible.

BACK IN THE DIM AND DISTANT

Sadly my powers of recall are, these days, a little disappointing. They say with age comes wisdom, but what is the point of all this wisdom when its tucked away in some dark cerebral corner emerging but briefly, usually at the most inconvenient moment. 30 seconds later and I have forgotten what it w...

Re: Royston

It might be easy to dismiss this win on basis of the Crows downturn in confidence/results but that would devalue the effort from a Hitchin side that were weakened by both Stephen Glees and Jake Hutch being missing. Backs against the wall, defending against a bombardment akin to the arrows of Agincou...

Re: QUIZ NIGHT FRIDAY 12th NOV

Despite the disappointment that Steve might have experienced tonight in missing the closely fought game against Albania, I trust that he and his team still enjoyed the quiz? My thanks to all those who attended. In particular it was great to see Last Minute Dot Com and the Inappropriately named Ice M...
