So, for the second successive night, a no show in the South Devon League, but unfortunately, no chance of reaching anywhere else this time. It was 3rd versus 2nd in the league table, with WBB needing a win to secure promotion. The game had been mentioned by both clubs on social media, albeit not for a few days and was still showing as being on at 17.15 when I last checked the fixture on F.A. Full Time. Arrived at the ground at 18.30, only to find it deserted, apart from a fellow ‘hopper from London. A check on F.A. Full Time now had the match missing from the fixture page, but was showing in the results page instead….as an away walkover. A bit later WBB posted on their Facebook page that they’d been promoted following Mount Gould being unable to raise a team. Couldn’t be bothered to raise a team would be a much better way of describing it.

I am supposed to be watching another game in this league tomorrow, where the away team need to win, as well as win again on Saturday, to pip the current leaders by a point, but am currently leaning very heavily towards not bothering, as I highly suspect that will also be the attitude the home club will take…..
