2009 - Outside Broadcast postponed and Beaver fever...

Saturday, 24 January 09, 05:37 AM · Comments (0)

Firstly apologies to those of you (and there may have been some) looking forward to the TerrasBlog podcast outside broadcast today.

As you can see from the timing of this post I am still in Peterborough so we will have to do it another Saturday.

There will be a BlogCast this week with the usual content.

The main news of the day surrounds the future of star player Stuart Beavon and the fact that local rivals Yeovil Town have joined the race for the hard working front man.

Understandably there would be a large number of Weymouth fans who would be angry at Beaver for joining our number one hated club, but I would appeal to supporters to see the bigger picture.

Let's be clear at the start. I hate Yeovil, the town the people the club. I had to work there for a couple of years and it was terrible. I used to arrive at the Ridgeway on my driver home every night and breath a sigh of relief.

But if you put yourself in Stuart Beavon's position and they come in for him. What would you do?

Despite their current league position, Town are a well run club who generally stick with an owner and manager. And despite having moved to an out of town stadium they still manage to generate income on non-match days (we used to have all of our work meetings there and the catering was great).

Weymouth on the other hand are a total shambles off the park and have more managers than our McDonalds during the calendar year.

You also take into account the fact that our club is still on the brink and it is a no-brainer. Much as I hate to say it, if Yeovil want to take Beavon, he would go with my good wishes. It is too good an opportunity for him to turn down.

I would love for him to stay on the south coast and become a Weymouth hero for years, but deep down I know we can't afford him. We dont have anyone owning the club for god's sake!

I love Weymouth and I love Weymouth Football Club but it has gone so far beyond a farce now it isn't funny.

People still call for the club to come together and for the fans to help put it all right. Most of the long term fans I talk to are utterly worn out by the whole thing and are still planning new ways to spend a Saturday afternoon.

Maybe the loss of Beavon (if as we expect he does go somewhere during January) will be the catalyst to bring everyone back together and working towards the common aim. Losing your best player to your local rivals would be a feeling none of us would want to feel more than once.

Oh and we play Northwich today in the league...
