As the great man's guest must produce his good stories or songs at the evening banquet, as the platform orator exhibits his telling facts at mid-day, so the journalist lies under the stern obligation of extemporizing his lucid views, leading ideas, and nutshell truths for the breakfast table.
Cardinal J. H. Newman, Preface to The Idea of a University, 1852

Huddersfield away 23 Aug

We were holidaying nearby (staying at Holmfirth) "by coincidence" and so all four of us (me, J, A and V) were able to be there. A glorious sunny day in a fine, open stadium. A 3-1 win: couldn't be better.

When we were 3 - 0 up, the Dons sing to Gueret "Willy whats the score" and he gestures 3 - 0 to us. Shame he then lost his clean sheet.

After we had conceded a goal, with less than 10 minutes to go, Gueret was clearly very agitated, so much so that one our fans shouted "DON'T WORRY WILLY!". Wonderful!

Impressed by the town of Huddersfield, with its fine stone buildings. Much better than I was expecting, for some reason (some prejudice about Yorkshire, probably!)
