Happy New Year?

And so we say reach 2010 with news that our fourth game in a row has been postponed due to the inclement weather.

At least we can be thankful the club had arranged for an inspection 24 hours earlier than usual which means that Martin and I have been spared starting our journey north. Well done DFC and the Football League - it's not often I get to say that!

It remains to be seen whether all these postponements will give Steve Staunton the time to bring in a few new faces for our trip to Bury next week - assuming the weather improves by then of course!

In order to keep you entertained during this period of inactivity, for your delight and delectation I'm presenting a section from On The Road, a programme produced by ITV Digital as part of their offering when they had the franchise to cover football (and after they'd renamed themselves from On Digital).

This programme was all about travelling to different grounds and in the episode that this is taken from, the presenters were also visiting the likes of Scunthorpe, Hull and Grimsby. How very grim. I dare say they were quite pleased to get to Darlo after that lot.

Neil, Tony, Steve and I were filmed in the market square outlining how to get to the ground, where the good pubs are and what DAFTS are all about.

There's also an interview with Doug Embleton (representing the embryonic Supporters' Trust) and Peter Thorns (then secretary of the Supporters' Club) as they're asked for their views on our forthcoming move to the Arena. There's also a few vox pops and of course, a few words (and more) from George Reynolds.

I suspect that few of you will have seen this as I suspect Liz and I were one of the very few to subscribe to On Digital. Enjoy...
