TERRAS TIMES The newsletter of the Weymouth FC Supporters Association
ISSUE 4 February 2016
Chairman’s Chat Its so much easier to write this piece after a win and that is exactly the result we saw over the weekend against Kettering Town. Behind at home and then fighting back to win with a late goal is the best way to win a football match in my opinion and despite some lower than anticipated attendances if we can keep winning games and providing entertainment then there is no reason for people to stay away. There has been a lot of change behind the scenes in recent weeks and its testament the to talented volunteers and the club that we have been able to show some continuation of service on things like the website and club shop. There is still room to be a part of the team, so don’t be shy !

Farewell Stewart Yetton…
I would like to echo what Joe said in his piece above about finding the motivation to produce a newsletter being a lot easier after a win!
The news broke like a bolt from the blue.
Games with Kettering are always special and you wonder if it should be called the “Sleeping Giants Derby”…
I was out training on my bike and as I pedalled away in the fading light I just couldn't take the news in and compute. It was eerie.

Stewart Yetton had left Weymouth Football Club.
Yetton was an absolute hero and a player you could guarantee would give 100% every time he pulled on the shirt. No question. His scoring boots had been absent for a season or so but his dedication to the cause could never be questioned. Never. I got home and spoke to my daughter who had no memories of any other player leading the Weymouth attack. She cried and cried. It hurt me to see it. It might only be football to some, but even at our level the club and its players mean something to us– James Warrener
What’s in Store ? The new Terras online store has been launched by the WFCSA. This new version of the store has a nice looking front end but increased functionality behind the scenes meaning that Pete Nash can get new products up and running far more quickly than in the past. This helps the club on a number of levels but mainly in being able to specify products more rapidly means that no revenue opportunities are lost whilst we wait to get items online. http://www.shop.weymouthfootballclub.co.uk/ ia the new URL and there are a number of great new products in store including the ironic and very funny rose tinted spectacles which are designed to put a better gloss on this seasons on field activities…
#TERRASCOMMENT—Josh Barton A dead season at the end of February. Well dead apart from the glamour of a Dorset Senior Cup Final to be played in April. Let's hope that we at least have a bit of silverware come the end of the campaign. A couple of stand out moments in the month of February.. one being the 6-1 away victory at Basingstoke and the other has been the introduction of Tiago Sa and Dom Panesar-Dower from the reserve team into the first team. Reserve and young players making the grade can only be a good thing for the club. Hopefully the remaining games this season can be successful.
