On the SWITFC WhatsApp group we were reminiscing about low attendance games and I remembered scraping a grim1-0 under Mick at Huish Park 10 years 2 months ago in front of less than 6K fans.
Horrible game but the BBC report makes interesting reading, especially the lineups...

Thread | Fascinating bit on the Championship (remember that?) on Wikipedia
at 17:11 9 May 2024
"The Championship is the wealthiest non-top-flight football division in the world, the ninth-richest division in Europe,[2] and the 12th best-attended division in world football (with the second highest per-match attendance of any secondary league - after the German 2.Bundesliga)."
Blimey. |

To think it's hardly any time at all since we played them at the top of that bl00dy hill in the blazing sun. Vegeburgers, party buses and diamond giveaways!
How times have changed for both clubs; but always remember that there, for the grace of God (or Gamechanger) go we. |

Thread | Ed Sheeran - James Blunt comment in the Grauniad
at 16:01 9 Dec 2023
So many responses, so little time. Although Major Blunt's a pretty decent sort of chap, I think...
"Of course, those disposed to dislike Blunt will not be mollified by any of this, nor by the fan-worship of Ed Sheeran (interviewed here) who as a young boy was radicalised by seeing Blunt support Elton John at a stadium gig in Ipswich." |

Thread | New job stress: serious and frankly slightly embarrassing post.
at 16:11 30 Aug 2022
Okay, this is here because none of my colleagues will see it so I can talk freely.
I was made redundant in January 2021 after 15 years with the National Trust. Three months ago I landed a slightly better job in my local Museum, run by the District Council but mostly autonomous, as Operations Manager. All good: nothing I can't handle and all stuff I'm good at. Something I didn't expect to get at 55.
Thing is, it's making me ill. Last week I turned around and went home for two days. Couldn't cope or face being there.
The place is a sh!tshow: poorly managed and with a small team who're suffering badly from Stockholm Syndrome. They've stopped caring that it's crap and have disconnected. I can see a hundred ways to get it run better but have neither the authority nor the support to do it, despite fine words further up the food chain. Systems are clunky, little is done well and nobody wants to change. Plus I think one of my direct reports is passive-agressively resisting me although I can't prove it.
I finally cracked and told the wife at the weekend, who had seen it coming but of course it's not as though I can just quit, not under the current economic climate anyway. She's being lovely about it but there isn't really a practical way out just yet so I have to soldier on for now although I've started looking at other jobs.
For the first time ever, I'm a bloody mess and it's not a pleasant feeling. Anyone else been in a similar situation got any tips on ways to get past this? |
