“Spirit of The Eighties” – Distillery v Dergview
Edition number 10 of The “Spirit of the Eighties” – our official matchday programme – will be available this Saturday.
“We are back in our usual format with an added Scandinavian flavour for the visit of our good friends on “Scandis’ Day” “ writes programme editor David Hunter.
“Lee (Forsythe) has looked back at last Friday night’s game and you can read his clear verdict in his manager’s column.
We have a very different (and very interesting) centre-spread this week which I started in September. We are now well into Spring but it’s never too late for a good Spring clean or is it?
You can find out more in a very different “Some light house work” – feel free to read this one with your apron on, duster and mop to hand but if you fear heights maybe not.
In our “On this day” feature we look back at games against Crusaders, H&W Welders and Limavady United and there will be our usual regular club news, matchday squads and visitors piece in the programme well.
And finally, there is good news and bad news regarding the “Spirit of the Eighties”. The bad news is that the programme team are going to have to stretch themselves (yet again) to produce another two programmes. We originally had planned to finish the series on ten or eleven programmes but we will now see all the remaining home games out.
The good news is that our readers – who have been great in their backing this season – will have two more programmes in the next few weeks. Number 11 for the Knockbreda game (18/04), and the following week we end the “Spirit of the Eighties” series with number 12 against Ballymacash.
Neil Partridge will be selling the programmes, just inside the turnstiles, as usual, this Saturday.
