A Chairman for a note.

Blimey Charlie, up the apples and bleedin chairs it's Ken ere with an update of where we are.

It started off with a mate of mine tipping me the wink there was a dead cert in the 4:20 at Kempton - so rather than giving the players and staff just their normal wages I thought with Christmas coming up I'd get em a bit more and wang it all on this beauty. Unfortunatley, I wasn't told which 4:20 it was at Kempton and the race didn't actually run until yesterday. Happily Dithery Dobbin won a totally clean race after several of the front runners were mysteriously shot in the legs half way round. So quids in I'll pay the players. Sadly my old, and I mean old, mucker at the PFA renaged on his promise to go halves whilst I was waiting on the race so no bonus - but I'm off to Barbados again at Christmas. Super.

I bobbed over to the Stadium to count my now dwindling penny jar - £456.67 left. I thought I came in a really top notch disguise but Doris the ever living tea lady greated me with a seriously strong looking brew and a "Hi Ken!" as she's often doing. Though after she said the same to some of the other staff I'm not 100% sure anymore. I did have to leave out the back entrance as there seemed to be a lovely festive display of flaming pitchforks out the front and I didn't want to disturb.

Anyway. The Hotel has a few bits on over the next few weeks - a live screening of "Load of old tosh" a brilliant new gangster film my lad's been involved in is on before the Leeds game and I as many people to sit there and bloomin well be driven to drink by it - I've seen it and was reaching for the booze after 4 minutes - Ker-bloomin-ching.

Also on after Christmas is the smaller pantomime Cack and the Beanstalk - Though I think this is more a reference on when Stoke come Peter Crouch IS still there aint he?

Any anyway get yerselves down the club shop where festive versions of player t-shirts are available - true they are just rubbish faded basic prints of player pictures but it does really look like snow so why not charge £25? If that don't get the hordes of fans paying top dollar to watch a load of load Yorkshiremen braying their county name constantly for over an hour I don't know what will. It will also make my life a whole lot easier.

Cheers Easy,

Ken
