                                        REVEREND ALAN WRIGHT CLUB CHAPLAIN
                                        Good evening and welcome to this rearranged fixture against the Cobblers,
                                        who are looking to bounce back to League One at the first attempt. After
                                        a very good first half against Rochdale on Saturday, the Iron certainly had
                                        a poorer second period, resulting in a defeat which did our chances at the
                                        bottom no good at all. We are sadly rapidly running out of games, but while
                                        the mathematics still says so, there is still a chance.
                                          Like many of you, I watched bits of the Winter Olympics devoid of
                                        spectators and without much atmosphere. I also watched as British hopes
                                        kept crumbling until the very end of the Games. Curling is quite a rarefied
                                        sport that obviously can’t be done anywhere, as you really need an ice
                                        rink. I’m sure the technicalities of the sport have washed over me, but the
                                        end results were certainly gripping and I watched nervously as final stones
                                        glided down the ice. There wasn’t much else British to cheer about! However, we can cheer on the
                                        Iron this evening!

                                        Enjoy the game; up the Iron! With all good wishes, Rev Alan. Club Chaplain.
