Ho! ho! holy shit we got beat at the death...

Yep Weymouth snatched defeat out of the jaws of a point at Mansfield in the Blue Square Premier yesterday. The Terras had led through star striker Stuart Beavon before the Stags (under new management) staged a Christmas comeback. And well done them. They seem to be turning their season around, and you don't hear so much about off the field dramas too. Let's hope we can replicate that bit before too long.

And it would appear that there is a possibility Weymouth could be under new owners before Santa drops. The smart money is of course on Dave Higson and his local business consortium. The one thing that still looks likely even with this change at the top will be the trimming down of the players come January. And that makes sense.

Even if it means a relegation battle, we have to now start living within our means, and if that means average crowds of less than a thousand and part time players and staff, I would take that.

It's time we stopped using our geography as an excuse to have to pay over the top for players. It's about time we stopped messing local companies around and started to win their trust back.

But most of all it is time to for the club to start paying back those fans who have stuck with the Terras through thin and thinner recently.

Would I accept the club asking to move down to Conf South is a question posed in an email the other day to the blog. Absolutely. Even though my travelling costs would increase, the clubs would go down... I don't want to give up the clubs Conference position but I would rather us play in a league we can afford to play in.

Is there a chance of good news tomorrow? Let's hope so. It will make for a very Merry Christmas for me and many others.
