Down The Lane, Saturday, 8th December, 2012.

Two pretty uninspiring photos of what will most likely be our last ever visit to St George's Lane to watch Worcester City FC. Once this season is over the 'stadium', which City first used back in 1905, will become a housing estate: at least it will be a brown field development.

Next season City will have to play at Kidderminster Harriers until their new stadium at Nunnery Lane(?) is built. Although the whole thing is a sorry saga and, who knows, it may never be built if the sums don't add up. Until it is, a huge question mark hangs over the long term future of The Faithful City.

Whatever happens, we won't go to see City play anywhere else. We love the fact that we can walk from home down The Lane in just 15 mins. Driving over to the other side of town and parking up, let alone driving to Kidder, holds no attraction to us. Might as well go the whole hog and drive to The Mol or Villa Park.
More folk on the pitch than in the stands!

Actually, for this game against FC Halifax Town, the crowd was 1,012: pretty good for games in The Conference North, and the second highest in the division today.

It wasn't a bad contest but we won't mention the score. Not important............only a game.........it's the taking part that counts.

Tickets for the last league game of the season down The Lane against Chester City are already on sale. The club is hoping for a full house of 4,500. They could do with the money.

Talking of money: it cost us £30.50 (inc Programme) to sit and watch on a cold day on a hard bum-numbing wooden bench what is, effectively, a Division 6 match. Ridiculous. Football has gone completely cowin' mad.

We have spoken.
