Leamington have to play three matches in five days, with a FA Trophy match at home against Marlow on Saturday. Thursday is one of the least used nights in the week for football. However, tonight we won't be going to Tesco's as it's Studley at home in the Birmigham Senior Cup.
Studley are still in the Midland Alliance and no doubt we will be eager to put one over the Manchester United of Warwickshire non-league football as Brakes are perceived to be. When Boldemere St.Micheal's inflicted a rare defeat on Leamington last season, you would think they had won the World Cup.
Away fans in non-league football can be really fanatical and no doubt we will hear the dulcet west country tones of Worcestershire tonight. It's remarkable how much accents can change over twenty miles or so. The Leamington accent is an underlay of rural Warwickshire (of the kind one of my sons-in-law speaks) and (to my ear) an overlay of Brummie. It's like the old South-East London accent was a mixture of rural Kent and 'Cockney'.
We complain about referees in the Championship, but apparently the referee at Malvern on Tuesday night was blind in one eye. That's all right if you are prime minister, but it's a bit of a problem for a ref and gives the shout of 'Are you blind?' a new edge.
It's not easy for Cadzy with so many players having work commitments, but fortunately the squad is large, so we will surely see some rotation from the 'Tinkerman'. We hope to have a match report here by around 10 p.m.
