It’s been hard work the past few weeks, what with launching the Pensions Mutual and dealing with all that comes with arranging a CDC scheme for employers and their staff.

So when I haven’t been working, I’ve been willing on my football club, Yeovil Town, to avoid relegation. Last night I was a guest of my friend Derick Tomlin and sat with my son and the Wealdstone fans as Yeovil eased 2-0 away and towards safety.

It was a late night for an early bird but I wanted to catch some of the fighting spirit we witnessed last night. Thanks to Wealdstone, a wonderful club of which Derick is a founding supporter in its fan’s club. Since 1956, he’s never seen his club so high up the pyramid, well done to them and well done to their supporters for taking an unexpected reverse with good humour. We know what having a good night is!

A week can make a lot of difference, what with a win at home against Morecambe on Saturday, life is a lot better. On the Metropolitan back through Betjamin’s suburbia I chatted with Capital Glovers while the body of our fans were on busses back to the West Country.

We’d been at the centre line – sitting in the coldest stand watching our Perrett get send off by 50 minutes at Grosvenor Vale (see video below)

This simulation of 10,000 situations, has Yeovil having every chance of finishing in the upper half of the table. Ever optimists!

Title race flips – Rochdale now favourites (66.5%), York drop to 33.5% 📈 Yeovil climbing – Top Half chances jump from 13.1% to 28.5% 📉 Gateshead moving clear – relegation risk down to 38.4% Same model. A few results. Big swings. #YTFC

And now the good bit for Yeovil fans and not quite good bits for everyone else, but you’ll allow me the little happiness of remembering a great night!
