I think perhaps JCFC follyws Robert Louis Stevenson's dictum 'it is better to travel hopefully than to arrive'.

I did not realise that RLS was the source of that quotation, but it has certainly been true of some grounds and many matches over the years. Incidentally, the abandonment pf the tie at Tring at the weekend might have offered an opportunity to add Episode 13, but with rail strikes on Wednesday and Friday, Saturday seems more like a case of travelling hopelessly. Fortunately, tonight should be simpler - I could always walk home if the worst comes to the worst.

PS  If this site believes I am going to start spelling realise with a z, it has another think coming
