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

Cheltenham Away 31st Jan

Won 5-3.

J, V and I went by train to Cheltenham. J went on to Newport and did a bit of coast by bus, while V and I went to the match. Another great day out! We were cruising, but Cheltenham didn't give up, and by the end we were glad of the final whistle - sort of, I mean we were enjoying the entertainment, but just getting a little bit anxious. We remembered Carlisle.

I like these small lower-league grounds, despite what our fans were saying about garden-sheds!
