Terras Times The newsletter of Weymouth FC Supporters Association.
March 2021
2018/2019 Southern League Champions 2019/2020 National League South play off winners. This week saw us navigate “lockdowniversary”, a whole year since our places of work closed and our kids (on and off) were sent home to learn. Football closed its doors to supporters (aside from a brief lifting of the regulations) and clubs tried to batten down the hatches in the same way that cruise ships sheltered from the weather in Weymouth bay. Our thoughts are with families affected by Covid throughout the Terras supporting world and beyond. That we still exist let alone continue to battle for points in the top division of non-league football remains something we should all be massively proud of. Have we all agreed on the best way forward so far this season? Absolutely not. But debate can be healthy if its done respectfully and with a positive goal in mind. We are still patiently waiting official confirmation of what the culmination of this season will look like at step 1. I share everyone's frustration about the length of time the FA are taking to make a decision. When you think that Macclesfield didn’t get off the start line and Dover have stopped playing their matches, it's a miracle the other clubs (ourselves included) are fulfilling fixtures. My dream scenario is no relegation. Of course it is. I want us to be in the top tier next season. But I would caveat that with us finishing lower mid table as well. You never know when a curve ball is coming from the FA so let’s take that possible stress away. I think that would be a fair reflection on the way our season has panned out and a good platform to try and do even better in 2021/2022.
