The Sound of Silence!
Posted: 09 Jun 2011, 18:16
As I sat outside today, on a pleasant Halesowen morning, partaking of my croissants and coffee, my thoughts turned to matters Yeltz. I thought how strange it is that the usual suspects who were so vociferous in their rightful condemnation of the hated previous owners remain silent.
The “new look” Yeltz appear, at long last, to have a future in local football, but the silence from those that wanted a clear out and an honest, local, owner is truly deafening.
Of course, they may all be on long sabbaticals, touring the nation, putting other clubs to rights – or, more likely, they are grinding their teeth waiting for the slightest whiff of scandal to float on the air before they position themselves at their keyboards to launch into critical mode.
If their past criticisms were to show how much the club meant to them, then surely they would now be making it clear that they see “ A Bright Golden Haze” over The Grove as new enthusiasm grips the supporters.
I am not proposing that we re-introduce “The Happy Clappy Club,” but a little enthusiasm from those who were consistently adamant that a change of ownership was essential to return HTFC to its former respected status, would not go amiss.
I do state all this with a lot of tongue in cheek – now that I’ve finished the croissants!
