At last, our first home game on our new ground, and it's only nearly October! September 29th to be precise. Going into this game we can see that if we beat Rotherham here, despite being so early on in the season it actually puts us in a good position for promotion. This is mainly due to who our rivals are and the size of our league; with so few teams in, 3 points become incredibly valuable.
This game however, could not have gone much worse:
- With a still injured Mark Robinson and an unavailable Richard Thornton, we move to a third choice goalkeeper Tom Jones. He turns up fit enough to play - just not in goal on account of his sprained wrist - so we move to a fourth choice, James Clarke.
- Some of the tetchiest displays of behaviour I've ever seen from WBCFC.
- In front Church folk who have turned out to see us. (Many thanks and apologies to you)
- ...Though it was a very disappointing turn out, and brings the level of support into question.
- Not only was behaviour off, but the football was too: the game finished 6-2 in favour of our visitors.
- When I say finished, i mean it in its loosest sense, since the final whistle never blew. In the 85th/86th minute skipper Danny Hayton dislocated his knee and the rest of the game was unplayable. An ambulance, gas and air, screaming and blood drained faces ensued.
Needless to say, the pre-arranged 'sandwiches and such' at West Yorkshire Sports Club was not as fun as it was designed to be.
