Over the moors. Take me to the moors.

So after our astonishing (and yes it was astonishing having lost the previous three games), over Southend I’ve decided that Solihull is a ground that I will finally get to tick off. “Over the moors, take me to the moors” is an affectionate nod to The Smiths’ Suffer Little Children which I’m sure you all know and if you don’t then you’re simply too young. … Continue reading Over the moors.

Torquay United 6-1 Aldershot Town

This diary entry will detail (thankfully) things other than the drubbing handed down to us by basement boys Torquay.

PunkAndNewWaveClassics

When we think of this tag it’s a far more broader church isn’t it.
