You couldn't make it up

Following on from last night's post concerning the less-than-mighty Muff, today was the day they were holding a press conference to introduce their latest saviour, Stephen Beer, and his £300,000 donation. To cut a long story short, the press conference was cancelled after Mr Beer was taken ill and was driven to Dorchester Hospital, apparently suffering from a stroke. The donation is due to be paid to the club tomorrow.

Now I know what you cynical buggers are thinking but I'm sure there's nothing even slightly dodgy going on. Naturally one hopes that Mr Beer makes a full recovery and that there are no problems with his very generous donation. My guess is that (a) he will and (b) the donation disappears into the ether from whence it came. And I called you cynical?!

Meanwhile the Glovers are in action tonight, away against everyone's favourite team, Leeds United. For once Skivo's got a full squad to pick from, so that's all 15 professionals plus a couple of loanees then. I'm not expecting us to take anything from this game. A point would be good, a win unbelievable, a loss expected. If other results don't go our way we could be in the relegation zone by 10pm this evening. Three weeks ago we were 8 points clear.

But let us not be downhearted! According to an ITK (In The Know) on the Green Room , we'll be signing a couple of Bristol City players on loan shortly. Thank the Gary for that. Our season's saved! Hallelujah!
