After last weeks defeat at Chippenham, I was hoping that Ricay’s fortunes would change enough, to get them off the bottom of the league. Since appointing a new manager several weeks ago , they have lost 5 in a row. I thought a new manager was supposed to improve things ? I was also hoping that my son, and grandson would have a day to remember ,as we all attended our first game together. I was wrong !
Both these teams had connections with Wembley. Billericay in the 70’s with Wembley wins in the FA vase. H and R goalkeeper Alan Julian played in goal for Stevenage in their 3-2 win over Kidderminster Harriers , in the first final at the New Wembley. A game I attended, to see what the new stadium would look like.
Saturdays game was nothing to shout about, with the visitors looking more likely to score. They did, early in the second half ,and there was never any doubt who would be taking home the 3 points.A disappointing end to a memorable day.As darkness fell over New Lodge, it gave the home fans plenty to ponder, wondering if they’ll ever get to see their team win a few games and move off the bottom. From what I’ve seen in the past 7 days, it doesn’t look like it.
