Our resident Poet, Stuart Vallantine, has again been busy with the pen and paper to deliver another superb piece of Match Day poetry for tomorrow night's fixture versus Harrogate Town FC, entitled 'Reconstruction Time', which will be displayed on the Notice Board in the Home Dressing Room and various points around Bower Fold tomorrow night, enjoy....

RECONSTRUCTION TIME:      

                                    

"Concentrate on the league," a cliché for us and the Sulphurites

As we left the F.A. Trophy, early doors, in the wind and rain.

This Tuesday we meet, more of the same under the lights.

With Harrogate Town being sixth, it'll be a taxing game.


For both sides, Black Friday became Grey Saturday.

For us, a time to show composure

And hope the result goes our way.

Time to shake off the blues and show some valour.


The Sulphurites are better away, so Tuesday will be a test.

We are half way through the season; no time to rest.

Play-off aspersions ring true, on both sides of the Pennines

And Harrogate Town have been there a few times.


Once more we step onto the pitch, aim for the play-offs along the way,

Put up a good fight against our visitors, a most testing feat.

Mud or rain, whatever comes our way, we need an awesome display,

Else the play-offs – or safety – could be in retreat.


22 men will be thinking the same in tonight's game,

But we need to buck up and gather momentum,

Scores have been patchy, no two games the same.

Failure, is not an option.


Enjoy the game, wrap up warm, it's going to be a bit chilly! #upthebridge
