I'm very glad I gave today a swerve. At my time of life I don't feel the need to make any more trips than absolutely necessary to dull Essex towns, so opted for a Kent County League tick at Cuxton instead, which was an enjoyable day out in the early autumn sunshine. If we were a bit more reliable on the pitch I'd show a bit more dedication, but I've done my years of service through thick and thin. (Every single game home and away in a season when we were relegated by a mile.) I'll be at Chichester on Tuesday though, for the tick and a few beers, and hopefully a big 3 points.
