Matches of Yesteryear - an update 18:55 - Mar 13 with 780 viewswessex_exile

I'm sure everyone is now aware that the 2019/20 season has now been suspended until at least early April, which inevitably has brought the current prediction league competitions (see mfb's update for the Happy League, and of course the U'sual Champions League) to what we hope is just a temporary halt.

The original concept behind the Matches of Yesteryear series was to try and post a blog about randomly selected matches from my memorabilia collection in advance of every U's fixture, and as things stand, the following fixtures are postponed:
Sat 14th March - U's v Scunthorpe
Tue 17th March - U's v Crewe
Sat 21st March - Newport v U's
Sat 28th March - U's v Mansfield


Whilst I could have easily considered that an opportunity to take a break from blogging, unlike much of the country I'm determined not to let coronavirus take any more of a grip on my life than it has done so already. So, the series will continue, but with a slight adjustment, in that I will endeavour to post on the day of the above matches, instead of in advance - after all, it's not like I'm going to have anything else to do those days...

Up the U's, and down with Covid-19 - stay safe everyone!

Keep up the good Work Wessex. You can be the Usual’s version of the balcony singers in Italy.

Have you never stood next to Wessex during a rendition of the "Old Oak Tree"? Adds tonal depth through tone deafness and boosts volume like me, but I suggest you don't ever give us a cornetto and gondola.

Hahaha - guilty as charged, though I was once part of Mr Cole's bass section

Do I assume you are another Old Gilberdian on here then Gerry? Not sure if I knew that already or not, so apologies if I did and have forgotten.
