Whether it be the muddle of a midweek fixture or the sanctity of a Saturday, along with scores of intrepid fans nation-wide we set off, in our case to the principality.  As always there was that nagging tinge of trepidation mixed with an undercurrent of die-hard hope.  Gone are the days when I would seldom miss a game away.  I now find that since a change in the coach company, comfort has taken something of a back seat (so to speak).  Being somewhat long in the leg and even longer in the tooth I found that, like some wines, I do not travel well, especially on what appeared to be the school bus on occasions.  I was therefore more than pleased to note that in this instance the mode of transport was feted as “luxury” with the legend of “continental travel” blazoned along its side.

Hemel Hemstead Town manager Colin Payne has been busier than most. The Zamaretto Premier League side’s boss has brought in over 15 new players this summer.
