On Tuesday i returned to one of my favourite local non-league grounds; the Coppice Colliery Ground, home of Heath Hayes. Heath Hayes were playing Boldmere St Michaels in the quarter-finals of the Walsall Senior Cup. Boldmere were far superior throughout the entire match, eventually winning 3-1. The ground is situated within the grounds of an old colliery, with a 10ft drop down one side of the pitch (so i was not overly willing to fetch any misplaced footballs). On the back of one of the dugouts i noticed some rather interesting graffitti. Apparently a local named Bill is an Oboe!!!!! The Heath Hayes youth, a.k.a Heath Hayes Massive sat atop the 25ft high grass bank behind the goal hurling abuse down at the Boldmere players throughout the game.... i wonder if one of them is named Bill???
I spent Wednesday at Leicester City at a very useful conference where i learnt lots of ideas for using data tools in target marketing, of particular interest was a talk from the Chief Executive at Southend United, whose ideas i might try and 'borrow', tweak slightly and use at WBA.
On Saturday i will be travelling up to Everton with the Baggies fans, hopefully they can return to winning ways. Meanwhile, i hope Charlton can defeat Luton in the FA Cup, a nice money-spinnig 3rd trip to Old Trafford wouldn't go amiss.
Up the Paget!
