New(ish) kid on the block

A new independent Glovers website has sprung up - prideofsomerset.co.uk. It's run by YTFC Scratch, who edited the Vital Yeovil site last season. Vital Yeovil tailed off after a strong start, I suspect because a lack of visitors or obvious interest, probably caused by the bloody awful Vital template - almost as many ads as the official site and a horrible, clunky design.

Scratch's new site is a step up from the Vital monstrosity, getting rid of the crap and keeping the better bits. It's smart, very modern and he's been clever in getting a couple of well-known names from the green room to contribute. Fair play to him, he's obviously put a lot of work into what is a labour of love and it'll be interesting to see how the site develops over the season. Ciderspace will still be my first port of call when looking for YTFC news/info, but there's certainly room for another independent Glovers site out there.

Just read: Black And Blue by Ian Rankin. Thoroughly satisfying cops-and-serial-killers yarn featuring Edinburgh's finest, CI Rebus. I particularly liked the 70's rock allusions scattered throughout the book, including the title lifted from a Rolling Stones album. He even finds a way to get in pothead pixies from the planet gong - what's not to like? Recommended.
