The season's over, the end of season party's been and gone, and now it's the time when managers clear out the dead wood.
Terry Brown has let nine players go including a few first team regulars, and it's so sad, although it's probably for the best.
So, thanks Jason, Mickey, Tom and Tony, plus the others.
Goodbye and good luck.
It's been a blast.

(This is called looking on the bright side ;D)

It's OK. I don't have to feel guilty any more  Seriously, he's a bloomin' fantastic bloke but we were never going to be soulmates! He hated me going to football, for a start... |

Surely you aren't regretting that CAFC tattoo?

One of your poxy fans was involved, actually.
I'm not necessarily suggesting that all your fans are poxy, but this one is.

I was sorry to read that i'm glad you don't appear to be too upset. Don't wish to sound patronising (apologies in advance if i do) but it may not be a bad thing in the long run and saved you both from a bit of misery. The delectable Mrs Sultan hates me going to football, too (apart from when she was studying for exams and it was a good way of getting me and Smalldude out of the house while she was revising) and for the best part of 22 years it's been a bone of contention between us.  People who talk about compromise in releationships delude themselves. Whenever i go to a game, Mrs Sultan feels completely defeated and likewise i feel utterly wretched trawling around the House of Pain (Debenhams in Walsall) when i don't.  I've not really been able to settle and enjoy a game for some time now, knowing the row that's likely to ensue on my return home and now that SRFC have taken away the scaffold stands and thus my favourite seat behind the goal i've decided to give up the unequal struggle and hang up my scarf. Hopefully you will find someone good who's lifestyle choices a re more similar to yours.  |

Hey, as the Sultan says...........you know what Mrs BH thinks about the game, but we've been mXXXXXd for XX years, and you know how we are.  Oh well you young people! |

I've been incredibly lucky. When we got together, I told my husband how important football was to me. To be fair though, at that time Wimbledon were in the premiership, and I could only afford to go a few times a season. Of course, things have changed now, and I'm at football at least once a week and involved in the admin side of thingsas well. My husband has never complained, and the only compromise reached (as suggested by me) is that I would only do a couple of medium - long distance away matches a season, so I only do the localish ones. Of course, life is easier for himself now I've started taking the youngest to home matches - he gets a bit of peace and quiet at home. ;D |

I told Leo when I first met him how much football meant to me, and he said "that's great," while in fact he was panicking inside. If he'd been straight with me to begin with rather than pretending he was "falling in love" with the non-league football scene (which turned out to be completely untrue), then things may have panned out differently. However, he spent our entire relationship worrying about it and later said (very loudly indeed) that he hated football, he hated not being able to see me for more than one night and a morning at a time (we don't exactly live close to each other) and that he didn't just hate football, he couldn't stand the fact that I went every week without fail and really resented it because he felt pushed out. He also said that I became a different person when I was at football and he didn't particularly like that person. Tough luck really, because I then had to give him the news that the "person I become at football" is, in fact, the real me, which I find very hard to be anywhere else. I can't really stay with someone who only likes me when I'm pretending to be something I'm not.
I am, contrary to appearances, quite upset about it- I really miss him, for a start- but I know it was the right thing to do and have no regrets about it.

I can see where you're coming from, Sal. It's been a rocky road sometimes for us this last 22 years, with a few flash-points thrown in. If these four walls coulsd speak..  Up to now though we've always worked it out in the end and neither of us has had to pretend anything. |
