Here comes a Huddersfield summer

With summers soon to be upon us and your weekly football fix, not so readily available, you may be one of the many fans, like myself who starts to explore the garden, or even worse your local B&Q!

Of course you will continue to dream of next season when, your team finally realise their potential and go top of the league.

If like me you can`t wait for August to come around, and anyway you think you can do a better job than Stan Ternent or whoever your manager might be, you may have been tempted to resort to playing one of the series of most addictive of Computer Football Management Simulations, Championship Manager or Football Manager, to try and make this happen, you hope!

These games are seriously addictive, and should come with a government health warning, if you lose a game you want to play more to rectify the situation if you win you want to carry on playing because you are doing well.

Let’s not forget too the chance for you to purchase players or loan players, I have had Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and Chris Sutton playing for our club Huddersfield Town, and have even re-signed Jon Stead.

They even come with match odds for the games you are playing in cyber space, sadly though you cannot really place bets.

Be warned though if you go down this route to achieve your satisfaction of seeing your side top of the league, sometimes it doesn’t work out that way, and the promise you made to yourself to just play for an hour or so, can soon see you with coffee cups piled up next to you, assorted empty crisp packets and food wrappers that have mysteriously surrounded your computer.

Matchsticks are propping up your eyelids as you play just one more game into the early hours of the morning, and a tired looking guy with a pale complexion greets you when you eventually look in the mirror.

Let`s face it; you have not been out all weekend, have you? Infact you’ve barely been anywhere apart from in front of your computer screen and in bed, which would explain the two days beard growth, seriously coffee stained teeth and lack of food in the fridge.

That’s if you are single, if you are married or co-habiting get yourself a good solicitor because divorce, or separation could be heading your way, at best it will be rows with your other half, of the, you never take me anywhere variety.

The things football supporters will do for success and to feed their addiction!

Its summer, get out and about, drink beer, play with the kids, chill out, oh and of course check into Vital Huddersfield once in a while to see what`s going on.

It does promise to be a summer of signings and sightings and highs and lows as we see what the all new, if old but bright, beefy big and bouncy team can come up with down at the Galpharm.
