Readers will note that I have removed The Man Who Fell To Earth article as it could have been perceived as a rant, when the intention was to address some essential housekeeping, and to solicit donations. I’m pleased to report that recurring monthly donations now total £81. We are now only £45 short of the income this site would have received from advertising had I sold my URL and my John James soul. My thoughts now revert to providing the best blogs I can muster between now and the Awards Evening.

“Awards season is nearly upon us and we’re proud to announce the Theatre of Dreams will host the Football Blogging Awards 2016 – the fifth annual FBAs.
Renown for holding one of the finest trophy cabinets in world football, the most sought for awards in online journalism will be dished out on November 17th at Old Trafford.
With past events at the National Football Museum and Hotel Football, 2016 will be the largest and grandest event with around a thousand people expected in attendance.
With tickets starting from £30 buy yours today and guarantee your attendance on November 17th.”
If nine and I wish to attend, a table of ten can be booked for £270. Those wishing to attend can send me a £27 donation on Paypal and mark it FBA. If I collect nine donations I will book the John James Table and arrange for tickets to be sent to your Paypal Address, or left for you at the door. I would hope that there would be at least ten of us and this will provide me with a measure of security from the swivel-eyed loons who would like nothing more than to stab or maim me as they cannot handle the truth. If I receive 19 donations I will book two tables. I’m really looking forward to it and meeting The Mensch and others for the first time. First come first served basis. The window for voting closes on October 28th. Which football fan can resist The Theatre of Dreams?
My last thoughts on this matter are:
