Happy Friday readers!

Been a long week hasn't it? first one back after Christmas and all. The week has been made even longer by nothing happening with regards to Weymouth FC once Lee Phillips had signed and Scott Doe said no to Farnborough.

The York match fell foul of the weather on Tuesday and I was left kicking my heels for content on the BlogCast. David Laws still hasn't agreed to an interview so we decided it best to have a midseason break.

So for this week only the BlogCast is about a visible as the blue away kit in the club shop...

At least we should have a match to look forward to this weekend. I am closer than most to Histon and the weather up here feels a lot milder this morning compared to recent days. And it's not like the ball gets anywhere near the grass when they play anyway.

I dont want to go over old ground, but I hate Histon and I hope that we beat them heavily. I suspect though that if we get back on the bus and head back down the A1 or A14 (depending on coach driver) with a point. Alan Lewer Lua will be a delighted little chap. And I will be too!

The Manager has gone on record this week as saying there is plenty more transfer activity likely at the Wessex over the next few weeks. More out than in I suspect, but we used the loan system to our advantage last season and I would hope we could stave off the thread of relegation in that way again this campaign.

Is Chris Blackburn getting a game at Aldershot?

Thanks so far for you entries to the latest competition. We will be publishing some of the best efforts on the site as we get near to the closing date.

It should be an entertaining match this afternoon at the Wessex as in form Kidderminster meet Weymouth in the Blue Square Premier.

The Terras will be buoyed by their recent result and performance against Burton last weekend. Up against it with injuries and away from home, they battled to a one all draw. 

The last home match was a desperately poor 2-5 defeat to Histon and it will be a performance that manager John Hollins will be looking for some better defending from his players. 

There are, not for the first time, plenty of other rumours and pieces of speculation surrounding the club yet again, but after having my say in yesterdays blog about how things are panning out for Weymouth FC I am choosing to keep my counsel today. Please do keep your emails coming in though. I do read thm all and the worrying thing for me is that a lot of the content is consistent in what it is saying. 

Enjoy the match.

TerrasBlog 16/09/08 - Back from the brink...

Saturday, 13 September 08, 09:23 PM

...or holiday in Weymouth.

I am just about over the performance against Histon last weekend. Seriously I am going to stay away having seen only one Terras win in about three seasons now. 

Saturday evening was rescued somewhat by bumping into JHMBE and Alan Lewer in a restaurant car park. I was amazed that they had heard of TerrasBlog!!! but despite my best efforts to get a quote and new strapline for the site from JHMBE, this was the best I could do.

"John, I am James from TerrasBlog. Do you read the site at all?"

"Sorry, no."

So there you have it, officially John Hollins doesn't read TerrasBlog. 

I left him in the door way answering questions from a fan who had travelled down from Doncaster for the match, but did have a proper little chat in the bar. It was very pleasant and I have to say we have a very charismatic manager in JHMBE. Now piss off Woking and find someone else you want to court for your manager. 

Thankfully there was no-midweek action as I wouldn't have been able to face it, so painful was my Saturday Wessex Experience. It was nice to spend some time back in Weymouth fishing and relaxing, I hope it wont be too long before I make it back for another match. 

On to today and a point against a strong Burton Albion side at the Pirelli Stadium. I must admit I wasn't expecting too much from this one, but in typical Weymouth style we managed to defy the odds and get a point from a match we weren't likely to get anything from. 

In other good news, despite not having received anything from the club as yet there are two prizes in my house for the "Beat the Blogger" competition. 

Two England replica football shirts to celebrate Anton Robinson's call up to England C. One of them (the home one) is marked up with Robinson 8 on the back. I will get a picture uploaded onto the site in the next few days, but you only have until the end of September to send in your photos (of you in an exotic location in a Weymouth shirt or with some merchandise) to have a chance of winning. 

Please send your entries by email to jimmythecuckoo@hotmail.com

Right back to the unpacking...

TerrasBlog 05/09/08 - Holiday time...

Friday, 05 September 08, 07:21 AM

Although it probably only seems like 5 minutes since TerrasBlog last went on holiday, the time has come again to pack the swimming trunks and sun cream for another short trip.

This time though, no exotic continental location for this website's vacation. We are off to "Gods own town", Weymouth.

What this means is that we get to go and see the Terras take on Histon tomorrow (and be warned, I am a curse over this club at the moment only having seen one win all of last season) in what promises to be a boggy encounter at the Wessex.

After last nights Kidderminster win, we have dropped into the bottom half of the BSP table, something that illustrates the closeness of the division we play in. With that in mind a win against Cambridge's other team (apart from Cambridge City, I suppose) to get back on track would set me up nicely for lunch with Hugh Fearnely-Whittingstall on Sunday!

For our overseas readers on Ole Ole, you will have to google him!

I think it will be a challenging match with the likely damp conditions sure to favour the team that (ahem!) get the ball forward quickly and play a more direct style. I hope the weather holds beacuse if not I think it will be a bit of a battle. 

Right, I am off to the office for a final day at work before the trip...I am ready for the break :0)
