The Fort.

An interesting programme has turned up on BBC iPlayer.

Called “The Fort” it follows Fort William fc through last season - Fort William being the team that are forever at the bottom of the Scottish Highland league and lose most games by 7 goals or more. Sometimes getting beat 14 nil!

However (like us) there are some interesting and dedicated people behind the scenes keeping everything going, with players travelling long distances 3 times a week for the pleasure of getting minimal payment (£25) and never winning a game.

It’s a good watch.

"Come on Barnestoneworth"

But that's it, isn't it?

You've got players prepared to turn out, and supporters prepared to pay to watch them.

Yeh a good interesting programme. I was amazed at their loyal fans, they seemed to have a few, who even went to away games. Now that's tough following a club that never wins, home & away.

And they won again recently in the league

I see they won a cup game yesterday 5-0, perhaps they've turned a corner.
