FOLLOWING THE SALTMEN

The new season is here.

It’s been a long time coming but the new season kicks off for real tomorrow evening when The Saltmen travel to Hereford Pegasus to start their first ever game in the rarified atmosphere of Step 5. It may be one small step for man but its a giant leap for MON-kind.

Last season saw Droitwich lead the Division One table from the first day to the last, finishing 11 points clear of the chasing pack. Stepping up to the higher level will undoubtedly bring its challenges but this Spa fan has faith with the players and coaching staff who got us to this position and I think we can look forward again to many high points this time round.

Somewhat bizarrely, the season opens for Spa on a Monday. Presumably, it’ll be broadcast live on Sky Monday Night Football, which would make a change from Liverpool or Arsenal and it shouldn’t take too long to get there.

Our friends at Pegasus are no strangers to the Hellenic Premier Division having spent the majority of the last 40 years plying their trade in this corner of Step 5. A relatively short spell in Division One ended with promotion back to the Premier division at the end of the 2021-22 season where they have finished a creditable 8th, 9th and 14th in the last 3 seasons.

The game will take place at the KGD Stadium, Old School Lane, HR1 1EX. I hope this works with Sat Nav but I give no guarantees. What promises to be a fascinating game, kicks off at 7.45pm.

Last season saw fantastic away support for the Saltmen. Let’s see if we can continue where we left off. The boys will need all the backing they can get and I know they appreciate it.

See you there.

Cheers
