Stockport

Its definitely getting harder to make this blog positive and generally to watch City! So the 18th October brought the visit of Stockport County to Twerton Park. As I overheard someone say as little as 5 years ago there were 8 leagues between us, how the mighty have fallen!

The 18th also happens to be my birthday, so I met a few City fans who for one reason or another don't work on Tuesdays and began a pub crawl from the centre of town to Twerton. To be honest it was a lovely day of ales and laughs up until 7:45.

To paraphrase a well known saying I can handle the despair, it's the hope which is killing me. Having accepted a few weeks back that City were destined for relegation they finally started playing like a team and started getting results against Darlington, Braintree and while losing against Cambridge at least looked like we'd pick some points up. So the hope starts to build that the great escape maybe on, but no definitely not! Stockport were terrible, but unfortunately so are we.

I can't really remember the goals as my brain is trying to wipe the disappointment from my memory (I imagine it'll surface like some hidden nightmare in future years!) I don't even know where to start with how bad City were, and am not even sure anymore what the problems are as they seem to be everywhere. That said Paul Stonehouse is looking about as useful as a trapdoor in a canoe.


Nevertheless, I will be returning to Twerton for the next game (although not going to Fleetwood) as, well it's what you do isn't it!? UTC!
