A normal Saturday for Tom and me today. We left home at around 12.30 p.m. to travel into Southampton for the match against Carlisle. Having parked in our usual car park we walked into the city centre for me to cash in my Betfred betting slip for £26 following my successful prediction of the 4-1 win against the same Carlisle at Wembley four weeks ago. We then walked across the park to St. Mary's for our usual pre-match lunch at the chippie. I decided to put on another small bet on the outcome of this match and placed a £1 stake for Saints to beat Carlisle 3-2 at 28/1. Southampton needed to win today and Huddersfield needed to either draw and lose if Saints would still have a chance of reaching the play-offs. At half time, the score was 1-1 with Huddersfield beating Stockport 0-2. Saints scored twice very swiftly in the second half to bring the scoreline to 3-1 but Huddersfield extended their lead to a final score at Stockport of 0-6! Southampton had now lost all hope of being in the playoffs. With extra time, Southampton were still winning 3-1 when a goal by Carlisle just seconds before the final whistle finished the game off at 3-2! I was suddenly another £28 richer! We collected my winnings and decided to treat ourselves to a lovely all-American meal at TGI Fridays. Grimsby Town also recorded a 0-2 win at Darlington keeping their very slim chances of staying in league football alive. They need to win both of their remaining matches and hope that Barnet lose all of theirs. Southampton was graced with two enormous cruise liners today, Celebration Eclipse and Grand Princess. On returning home, Sara, Mary and I went to the Lion's Head to meet Klynn and his friend Andrew, for whom I've just completed some consultancy work. After the pub we back to Klynn's for a glass of wine and a chat outside around the chiminea talking about American baseball and wood! Andrew was clearly enjoying feeding the chiminea with the last remains of Klynn's stockpile of wood.
