City v Spurs (League) – Sun 11th Nov [2v1 win]

November 20, 2012 admin About the club, Matches No comments

Left Aberdeen at 0900 Saturday morning & picked up members at Laurencekirk, Dundee & Edinburgh to make it three short of a full coach.

An 8 hour journey included a 45 minute stop for a meal etc.

An overnight stay in Manchester began by meeting in Weatherspoons Piccadilly at 1900, a couple of drinks later everyone went on their way, some night clubbing others for a meal, finally got to bed at 1am.

Travel bags were transferred in the morning to the coach & then it was off to the Townley for pre-match drinks.

City started well but could not score then on 20 minutes Spurs ran up the field & Caulker scored, helped by a rare Joe Hart fumble & poor refereeing not to say anything about the quality of the linesmen.

It was still 0-1 after a poor 1st half.

City started the second half brightly but it wasn’t until the 66th minute that  scored good work by Yaya and Silva.

City played really from then on despite Spurs changing 3 players.

Nastasic was switched for Maicon & made a big difference as soon as he came on. Dzeko took Tevez’ place and from a half chance once again scored the winner; leaving it until the 88th minute this time.

Gale Clichy took a well deserved Man of the Match Award with Zabaleta not very far behind.

The boys in blue hung on to the final whistle and thereby created a new City Premier

League Record of 32 unbeaten home league games. Brilliant stuff especially for City.

We met up at the Townley after the game & the coach left at 1600 and we were back in Aberdeen for 0030.

It was great meeting everyone again especially those from further away, hope you enjoyed it.

I would like to thank Des for all his efforts in organising the coach – it’s a big responsibility, and also to David & Richard for organising tickets for those who needed them

Weight loss challenge for Brain Tumour Research (66 days)

October 8, 2012 admin About the club, Committee, Finance, Fund Raiser, Information No comments

I am doing a 2 month weight loss challenge for Brain Tumour Research.

This weight loss will include no crisps, no chips, no chocolate, no alcohol, no sausage butties and no Friday fry ups – going to be very tough!

I am determined to make a difference for this charity, I start on Friday 12/10/2012 and finish on 17/12/2012 (Total 66 days)

I have setup a donations page on the following link: www.justgiving.com/Brain-Tumour-Research-Weight-Loss-Challenge

I will weigh in on the morning of Friday 12/10/2012 and will be looking for people to sponsor me.

I am currently over 100Kg and hope to lose approx. 10Kg in the 2 month period (I figured if people sponsor say 50p or £1 per kilo that works out as about a £5 or £10 donation)

I really appreciate any donation.
