Good to see that some things don't change in football.
Former Kidderminster Harriers striker Ian Foster has become established as their physio these days.
Everytime he runs onto the pitch, he's greeted with a louder cheer than the current players.
Whenever Fozzie is called upon to administer - the chant 'Super Ian Foster' echoes around Aggborough.
Now that's what you call a fans favourite!

GOOD to see that football can still throw up one or two nice touches.
Although immersed in their FA Cup semi-final with Barnsley, opponents Cardiff City still found time to send Chasetown a couple of tickets.
The Bluebirds have kept in touch with Chasetown since their epic FA Cup meeting.
Consequently, a pre-season friendly at the Scholars looks on the cards.
Chasetown are just hoping Cardiff arrive equipped with the FA Cup as well

HAS there ever been such local interest in the Southern League play-offs.
Evesham United look as though they are going to lead everyone over the line in the BGB Southern Midland Division.
But look at all the locals clambering to join them in the Premier flight next term.
Leamington, Sutton Coldfield Town, Rushall Olympic, Stourbridge and Chasetown must all fancy their chances.
Then there's Halesowen Town going hell bent to win the Premier title, with a play-off place already assured.
Whoever conjoured up the play-offs landed on a absolute winner and will keep interest going right to the death.

EVER wondered what happens to public Enemy No.1
AFC Telford manager Rob Smith experienced a remarkable turnaround when he took charge of the Bucks.
Read all about it in this Saturday's Mail

SCOTT Rickards gets the profile treatment in this Saturday's Argus.
The striker is currently in his third spell at Redditch United - but he's not the only player who keeps going back to the same club.
Alex Cowley is back for another stint at Halesowen Town this week.
I reckon that's the third time he's become a Yeltz man. And I believe he had a loan spell at Halesowen while playing under Rod Brown at Stourport Swifts.
What's the perfect player's pre-match meal?

IT'S Gloucester City tonight - so therefore it must be raining in Halesowen.
Previous attempts to stage the game this season have all been washed away - including one contest that was abandoned at half time.
The forecast doesn't look promising, but all Yeltz fans will be resigned to the worst if Ron Lovegrove turns up to officiate.
Mr Lovegrove is a real 'Jonah' when it comes to Halesowen. Like the grim reaper, when he arrives, match postponed usually follows.
Watch this space!

Great tale from my mate Dave - a prolific Non League goalkeeper in his day.
He recalls the time he played at Cradley Town, where the visitors changing room was equipped with pop-up seats.
Dave lost count the number of times players stood up to pull their shorts on and then attempted to sit-down without looking - only to end up on the floor!

I take my hat off to Redditch United this season.
They're lovely people who have turned the club around both on and off the field.
When they first broke through into Conference North, as it was named then - I thought they would struggle to stay there.
But since rising to that status, Reds have surpassed themselves and have rapidly established themselves at that level.
They haven't got huge crowds to help cushion them - instead their progress has been engineered by sheer hard work, led from the front by chairman Steve Rossiter.
There - that should be good for a free sausage or two next time I'm down at the Valley!

I hate to keep carping on about the Southern League - but I hope somebody takes notice.
I don't think the Southern League have won many friends over the way they've compiled their fixture list this season.
Too many clubs have suffered blank Saturday's and lost valuable income as a result.
It's an issue that seriously needs to be addressed at the end of season AGM.
However the Southern League can redeem themselves with the end of season play-offs.
Play the matches on Saturday - even if it means extending the season by a week. I'm sure the clubs concerned won't mind.
Supposing Aylesbury United get drawn away, to say Stourbridge on a Tuesday night. How many supporters from Aylesbury would be able to make the trip?
Saturday offers much more opportunity.
Don't rush through the play-offs as before. They should be a showpiece and the more people who can attend, the better!

IT just shows how times have changed.
Last Saturday, Halesowen Town recorded their biggest league crowd since 1999.
The total was 617 to watch Halesowen take on Bashley.
Hard to believe - but true.
Long gone are the days when Halesowen used to fret if the crowd dipped below 1,000.
Most Non League sides seem to be suffering dwindling crowds - but there are exceptions.
Both AFC Telford and Leamington have seen fantastic support since rebranding.
Chasetown don't do so badly either ever since their FA Cup exploits.
But success doesn't always gaurentee big gates.
Evesham are sitting pretty on top of the BGB Southern Midland Division - but they've witnessed some dire attendances this season. One game only mustered 34 paying customers.
Does anything have any thoughts on the situation.
