What a week

IF we could all have looked into the future, there'd have been far more than 190 Blues fans at Edgar Street on Saturday. But I was one of those lucky few and I felt I deserved the treat of two City goals in a great second half comeback.

It capped a good week for the Exiles, as less than 48 hours earlier the Exiles darts team had beaten their Southampton-supporting opponents 6-5 in a nail-biting match in our aptly named 'home' pub, The City Retreat, in London.

I was still on a high from that victory when I crossed the Severn Bridge on Saturday afternoon - but was expecting to be bought down to earth with City facing highly-placed Hereford.

How wrong I was! Admittedly it was a lacklustre first half, but the City fans were in fighting spirit - making their views known to the linesman for forgetting his flag existed when Hereford scored both their goals.
Then Kevin Sandwidth's 25-yard second half stunning goal put us in good voice again. The ref's assistant came in for more stick when the Hereford tannoy man announced their man-of-the-match... "the linesman", bellowed a nearby Blues fan.

Justice was finally done when 'Super Kev' Ellison blasted a 93rd minute penalty past hapless Wayne Brown. So I was back on that high again and almost flew back home over the bridge. Now, if only I could bottle that feeling...
