Easter
Well, nearly Easter and there seems an awful lot of things to update on so without delay.
Darren continues to vlog. This week he was not vlogging a dead horse (sorry, I’ll get my coat) but revisiting his friends at Harborough Town. What a story! One hundred plus Spanish fans came to see the Step Three/Level Seven team. What’s the story?
“Spent Saturday afternoon at the wonderful Harborough Town FC, where, due to absence of some of their brilliant media team, I was asked do the post match interview with charismatic manager Mitch Austin…yep, I was really looking forward to doing this one, especially after ‘The Bee’s’ lost to a stoppage time wonder strike which brought their 10 match unbeaten run to a sudden end
….as always though, Mitch was fantastic and delivered, yet again, interviewee gold!
Here is us trying to make ourselves heard in front of an amazing Spanish contingent of over 100 fans ……oh, and the sort of vlog I did of the match is here “
So, who are the Spanish fans and what brings them to Market Harborough? “La Media Inglesa” is a Spanish “company” that says “La Media Inglesa es un medio dedicado al fútbol inglés. Todo con un toque de humor. No siempre inteligente.” Basically it is a Spanish language channel ALL about English football …all with a touch of humour. Think Skinner and Baddiel, TWTWTW, HIGNFY etc etc. Banter, news, rumours etc etc Whilst I love “Il Calcio a Londra” their Spanish cousins take an altogether more irreverent view of the Beautiful Game. I will be inviting them to FC Deportivo Galicia next season and hope they can double their numbers. Heathrow’s suburbs are a lot easier to get to than deepest, darkest Leicestershire. you can literally walk to our ground from the runway! See their video here
In news still breaking it looks like Gillingham will stay up 9despite having had more managers tahn goals this season, that FC Deportivo Galicia will not be promoted and that Arsenal have BLOWN IT AGAIN! (Oh, dear. How sad!)
Happy Easter.
