Ok, waffle time.
I don't suppose many people will remember a 90s TV show called "The Hurricanes" - it was an animated series for kids that revolved around a plucky team of footballing superstars on their world travels. Unsurprisingly, it was a genre I quite enjoyed at the time.
Every single episode the Hurricanes would suffer some terrible misfortune ahead of their game vs the Gorgons and would find themselves at some improbable half-time deficit. However, whatever the issue was at hand, everything would get resolved in the last few minutes of the show and the Hurricanes would stage a comeback and win the game 8-7, or something like that.
At this time, Halesowen had our own team of superstars and (maybe it was my imagination), whatever the half-time situation, you knew that we'd be shooting towards The Shed second half and everything would be fine. It's probably why I'm still following this club 30 years later.
I thought this was worth saying because, last night, it really was like a Hurricanes game. We found ourselves at a deficit at half time, but I couldn't help but feel like the storyline was already written. I knew we'd come back. Sure enough, on the hour mark, the substitutions changed everything and, with a series of dramatic flourishes, the game was won and everyone went home in fine spirits.
I know that football can change in an instant and I'm sure there'll be plenty of tricky periods to endure, but I'm honestly so excited by this team of players and the football that's being served up at the moment. It's a great time to be a Yeltz fan - long may it continue.
