End of the season?

How did it get to be almost October and the end of the season already? Glad we have the playoffs to look forward to although it will be a little while longer before we discover our first opponent. It would be great to have a large crowd this Saturday for our final regular season game, even better if we get our revenge on St Louis.

I was surprised to see the Rowdies part company with Head Coach Paul Dalglish with two games still to play. No-one knows better than us how difficult that first season can be - it takes time to adjust to a new stadium, players, front office management, fans etc. not to mention the travel schedule. Not to boast, however, the wait-and-see/give-him-a-chance policy paid dividends for us. We've had a fantastic season, being in the top spots every week, scoring some amazing goals and seeing some wonderful football. Thank you Adrian.

Sorry for the gap in blogs by the way, I've been in Borneo with my kids, James and Nikki on an adventure holiday as a 21st birthday gift. We stayed with an Iban tribe in the middle of the jungle - they catch most of their food, gather fruits from the forest, keep chickens and pigs and generally lead a simple life. However, one subject we had no difficulty communicating with them about was.....football! They had been able to go to the nearest small town by boat and watch some of the World Cup so they knew all the big names - Messi, Ronaldo, Kaka. They had a trophy they had won playing against the team from the small town. Quite glad to see that instead of the other trophies their tribe used to collect - heads!

See you all on Saturday!

Please comment on the news that the Aztex are moving to Orlando.

Aztex fans are feeling quite hurt over today's events, and the lack of communication. A entry on the blog addressing this would be welcome.
