The Eye is delivered monthly to over 13,250 homes in Redcar & Marske.
This month’s edition highlights the exceptional publicity the area has recently enjoyed thanks to several incidents that have propelled Saltburn in particular onto the national stage. Also on the agenda in the forthcoming months, however, is the preparation for the Olympic Games and after the recent announcement of the route we see another wonderful opportunity to highlight the beauty of our area when the Olympic Torch winds its way through East Cleveland on June 18th. Leaving Middlesbrough on the morning of that day, the torch will be highly visible as it travels through Redcar, Marske, Saltburn-by-the-Sea, Brotton, Carlin How and Loftus and hopefully the excitement its appearance will generate will be the forerunner of a spectacular Olympic Games. We are not without a number of our own local competitors and we wish them all well in their preparations for what we hope will be a very successful event. This month sees the real beginning of Spring, a season normally heralded by the Easter celebrations. That the weather has already begun to be extremely spring-like is obviously a bonus. Let’s hope it continues. By the end of the month we’ll know whether ‘Boro’s own hopes of making it back to the Premiership are still alive. We can only pray! Happy Reading.

THE EYE MAGAZINE - ISSUE 34
The New Centre Of Media Attention! The last few months have really given Saltburn a huge lift (no pun intended) in publicity thanks to some contrasting events centred round the town’s famous pier and water lift. Three separate stories have made the national TV news over that period with perhaps the nicest being the continued mystery of the Saltburn Pier Knitter. The 50 metre long Olympic-themed woolly scarf tied to the hand railings of the pier has been featured on more than one occasion on BBC’s national broadcasts with some wonderful shots being broadcast, not only of the very detailed knitting itself but also the coastline and the immediate area around the pier. The advertising costs involved in publicity as broad as this are immeasurable but the mystery knitter has done the town a real favour by letting the rest of the country see some of its most attractive features. Very well done, whoever you are! It’s amazing in a small town that mystery still surrounds the identity of the knitter, but whoever it is deserves all the accolades the work has attracted! Sadly - and it is obviously a sign of the times – a degree of vandalism has already been exhibited and in view of the generous nature of the work involved it really does make you wonder what kind of absolute moron would be responsible! It makes you wonder why they outlawed the birch! On another sombre note there was again national coverage of Saltburn during the recent armed stand-off when a 40-year-old woman was eventually arrested and detained under the Mental Health Act following a nine hour long incident. Cleveland Police received reports of a woman believed to have suspicious items on her at about 11:00 GMT and armed officers, trained negotiators and emergency services attended the scene where they talked to the woman until she was finally detained at 19:20 GMT. A police spokesperson said: "This was a fairly lengthy incident with a successful outcome." No doubt over the coming months more detail will emerge as to exactly what was happening but in the meantime Saltburn again received some concentrated coverage that can only have been beneficial when it comes to attracting people to the area. Using the premise that ‘there’s no such thing as bad publicity’ the national coverage received was once again invaluable. And thirdly, during March, Saltburn’s wonderful coastline was hit by a simulated tsunami when an episode of Sky TV’s National Geographic Channel series ‘Storm City’ was filmed in Saltburn. The four-part series – to be broadcast later in the year - has been filmed at a number of international locations and Saltburn's dramatic coastline was selected as the venue for a tsunami recreation on March 19th and 20th. Presenter Ben Fogle visited the town to watch the Pioneer Productions team use amazingly advanced engineering technology and science to recreate the immense impact of a tsunami’s natural force. How the town will be shown in the final production is anybody’s guess but the fact the coastline was considered dramatic enough for such a project is once again immeasurably valuable publicity for Saltburn. It’s been an extraordinary year so far and it would be lovely to see tourism figures reflect all that wonderful publicity. We can only wait and see! PAGE 4

The Great April Fool Media Hoaxes The first day of April has always been the day when everyone tries to fool everyone else, but if you think that sort of thing only takes place on a personal and local basis we have been investigating some of the pranks that have been perpetrated by both the media and people who should know better on both a national and international basis. This is our top five and demonstrates just how far some people will go to create the perfect ‘April Fool!’ The Swiss Spaghetti Harvest – BBC’s ‘Panorama’ April 1st 1957. This was a three-minute segment about a bumper spaghetti harvest in Switzerland where the success of the crop was attributed both to an unusually mild winter and to the "virtual disappearance of the spaghetti weevil." The audience heard Richard Dimbleby, the show's internationally respected presenter, discussing the details of the spaghetti crop as they watched video footage of a Swiss family pulling pasta off spaghetti trees and placing it into baskets. The segment concluded with the assurance that, "for those who love this dish, there's nothing like real, home-grown spaghetti." San Serriffe - The Guardian April 1st 1977. The Guardian published a seven-page supplement devoted to San Serriffe, said to be a small republic of several semi-colon-shaped islands located in the Indian Ocean. It affectionately described the geography and culture of this obscure nation, whose two main islands were named Upper Caisse and Lower Caisse. Its capital was Bodoni, and its leader was General Pica. The Guardian's phones rang all day as readers sought more information about the idyllic holiday spot. Only a few noticed that everything about the island was named after print fonts. The success of this hoax is widely credited with launching the enthusiasm for April Foolery that gripped the British tabloids in subsequent decades. USA Today – Burger King’s ‘left handed whopper.’ In 1989 Burger King published a full page advertisement in the April 1st edition of USA Today announcing the introduction of a new item to their menu: a "Left-Handed Whopper" specially designed for the 32 million left-handed Americans. According to the advertisement, the new whopper included the same ingredients as the original Whopper (lettuce, tomato, hamburger patty, etc.), but all the condiments were rotated 180 degrees for the benefit of their left-handed customers. The following day Burger King issued a follow-up release revealing that although the Left-Handed Whopper was a hoax, thousands of customers had gone into restaurants to request the new sandwich. Simultaneously, according to the press release, "many others requested their own 'right handed' version." Richard Branson – UFO over England. On March 31, 1989 thousands of motorists driving outside London saw a glowing flying saucer descending on their city. Many pulled over to watch the bizarre craft float through the air and finally land in a field. Local residents immediately called the police to warn them of an alien invasion and once they arrived on the scene a brave officer approached the craft with his truncheon extended before him. The door opened, a small, silver-suited figure emerged and the officer ran in the opposite direction. The saucer turned out to be a hot-air balloon designed to look like a UFO by the now famous Richard Branson. The stunt was supposed to be an April Fool hoax but bad winds forced him to land a day early in the wrong location. PAGE 6

The Great April Fool Media Hoaxes Continued Loch Ness Monster Discovered by Flamingo Land’s Zoologists. On 1 April 1972, international newspaper headlines claimed that the dead body of the Loch Ness Monster had been found. A team of zoologists from Yorkshire's Flamingo Park Zoo searching for proof of Nessie's existence had discovered the carcass floating in the Loch. Initial reports claimed it weighed a ton and a half and was 15½ feet long. The zoologists placed the body in their van to take it back to the zoo, but local police chased and stopped them, citing a 1933 act of Parliament prohibiting the removal of "unidentified creatures" from Loch Ness. The body was taken to Dunfermline for examination, where scientists threw cold water on the theory that the creature was the Loch Ness Monster. Instead, it was a bull elephant seal from the South Atlantic. The next day, the Flamingo Park's education officer, John Shields, confessed he had been responsible for placing the body in the Loch. The seal had died the week before at Dudley Zoo. He had shaved off its whiskers, padded its cheeks with stones, and kept it frozen for a week, before dumping it in the Loch. Then he phoned in a tip to make sure his colleagues found it. He had meant to play an April Fool's prank on his colleagues, but admitted the joke got out of hand when the police chased down their van. The seal's body was displayed at the Flamingo Park Zoo for a few days before being properly disposed of.
The Husband Store
An introduction agency called ‘The Husband Store’ - designed to help women looking for a husband - was recently opened in London. Instructions were posted at the entrance explaining to women how it operates. These were the rules: You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building! So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads: Floor 1 - These men have jobs. She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the sign reads: Floor 2 - These men have jobs and love kids. 'That's nice,' she thinks, 'but I want more.' So she continues upward. The third floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love kids, and are extremely good looking. 'Wow,' she thinks, but feels
compelled to keep going. She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads: Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love kids, are drop-dead gorgeous and help with the housework. 'Oh, mercy me!' she exclaims, 'I can hardly stand it!' Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads: Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love kids, are dropdead gorgeous, help with housework, and have a
strong romantic streak. She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign reads: Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.
PLEASE NOTE: To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opened a New Wives store just across the street. The first floor has wives that love sex. The second floor has wives that love sex, have money and like beer. The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never been visited. That is the difference between Men and Women PAGE 8

VW up! A car worth waiting for! Following its introduction as a concept car at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2007, VW’s new small city class car ‘up!’ has been one of the most eagerly awaited vehicles of the decade and has now been released as an integral part of the German manufacturer’s new range for 2012. It promises to set new standards for quality and refinement among the small car classes and has already won ‘What Car’s’ car of the year 2012 even before its release. To find out whether it lives up to those expectations Car Specialist magazine ‘Auto Express’ were allowed to test drive one of the first examples of this model to hit these shores and this is what they had to say: “Initial impressions are positive. Fans of the original concept car will be pleased to see that the ‘up!’ has made it to the showroom pretty much unchanged. There’s the same cheeky, faired-in nose, distinctive rear side windows and upright tail. Just as VW’s larger models have interiors that drip with upmarket appeal, up! offers excellent quality in that department. The dashboard is robustly constructed from quality materials. The chunky switchgear operates with crisp precision, while the simple instruments are easy to read. There’s also a wide-range of seat PAGE 10
and wheel adjustment, making it easy to get comfortable. Overall, the VW feels like a car from the class above.” Their opinion that VW have hit a winner is more than confirmed with a brief examination of the car. While the cabin is spacious, the up! is strictly a four seater, though thankfully there’s more than enough room for taller adults in the back. Better still, the front seats tilt and slide forward to deliver easy access to the rear bench. Open the boot and you’ll find a useful 251litre space. The lengthy list of standard kit includes air-con, heated seats, Bluetooth connectivity, a trip computer and a neat, dash mounted Sat-Nav system. Engine-wise, the VW’s smooth 74bhp 1.0-litre three-cylinder unit is an efficient performer. Combined with a slick five-speed manual gear box it moves from 0-62mph in 13.2 seconds. The mechanical refinement and low noise levels, meanwhile, make it a more relaxing drive than rivals such as the Toyota Aygo and Fiat 500 and it soaks up the bumps with consummate ease. Accurate steering, strong grip and good body control aid neat and tidy handling, ensuring loads of confidence even in urban areas. A hi-tech £400 Driver

Assistance package, which automatically applies the brakes if it senses you’re about to drive into the car in front., is also available. But it’s the car’s value for money that really impresses. Top spec will set you back £10,390, which is only a few pounds more than the less accomplished Toyota Aygo. Basic bottom price, however, is advertised at £7999. What’s more, CO2 emissions of 108g/km mean you’ll only pay £20 a year for road tax. On this showing the hype was justified, because the up! definitely sets new standards in the city car sector. Quality, refinement and practicality are frequently used adjectives in the car industry but in this case they are fully justified.

Have you ever wondered....? Perhaps we have too much time on our hands but it occurred to us the other day that there are very many questions in life that have not only never been answered, they have never actually been asked, despite being an obvious conundrum in their own right. Here are just a few.... Why isTarzan never pictured with a beard even though he lives in the jungle without a razor?
Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, 'I think I'll squeeze these pink dangly things and drink whatever comes out?'
Why do we press harder on a remote control, expecting it to work even though we know the batteries are flat?
Who was the first person to say, 'See that chicken, I'm going to eat the next thing that comes out of its backside.'
Why do banks charge a fee for ‘insufficient funds' when they already know there is not enough money in there to pay it?
Why do toasters always have a setting so high it could burn the toast to a black crisp that no human being would eat?
Why do Kamikaze pilots wear crash helmets? Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?
Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don't point to their bottom when they ask where the toilet is?
Whose idea was it to put an 'S' in the word 'lisp'?
Why does your Gynaecologist leave the room when you get undressed if they are going to look up there anyway?
What are the speeds of silence and darkness? Why do people say they 'slept like a baby' when they know perfectly well that babies wake up every two hours?
Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs!
If the temperature is zero outside today and it's going to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold will it be?
If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, then what is baby oil made from?
Do married people live longer than single ones or does it just seem like it?
If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?
How did we manage to put a man on the moon before we realised it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?
Why does a dog get mad when you blow in his face, but when he’s in the car he sticks his head out of the window?
Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?
Does pushing the button more than once on a lift make it arrive faster, because everybody does it?
If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?
If anyone has any plausible answers we’d love to hear them! Add you comment on our website www.theeyemagazine.co.uk PAGE 14

Wind Farms – A Good Idea Or A Blot On The Landscape/Seascape? Whatever you think about wind farms – and there are genuine arguments both for and against the concept – they look as if they are here to stay despite a recent letter to the Prime Minister from some 100 Tory MPs demanding that the £400 million-a-year subsidies paid to the “inefficient” onshore wind turbine industry are “dramatically cut.” The backbenchers, joined by MPs from other parties, have also called on Mr Cameron to tighten up planning laws so local people have a better chance of stopping new farms being developed and protecting the countryside. At least 4,500 more turbines are expected to go up as the Government’s drive to meet legally binding targets for cutting carbon emissions sparks a green energy boom. Part of that drive for new power sources is obviously the controversial bid to add to the already approved 27 offshore turbines at Redcar. A 60m met mast has been installed to monitor wind conditions on Beacon Moor at the top of Errington Woods with a view to erecting four 115m wind turbines in that area, while a second application has been submitted to Redcar and Cleveland Council for another 4 turbine site on the land which lies between Marske Road and Hob Hill Lane close to Saltburn. Local residents have already formed an action group against the proposals and here at The Eye we have received a number of letters protesting against the proposals. Dave Britton, a Marske resident and joint author of 'Where to Watch Birds in Northeast England' for instance, sent us a well-constructed argument suggesting that the turbines are an unnecessary and expensive eye-sore and a danger to birds which will do nothing to save the planet. “Everyone must surely agree” he says “that the offshore wind farm currently under construction is far too close to a tourist town. This morning I could actually hear the pounding noise from my garden in Marske (about 40 bangs per minute) and from the Marske end of the stray it was very loud even whilst plenty of traffic was passing. EDF has probably been taken by surprise by the uproar against the noise because off-shore wind farms are not normally so close to a town. Also, the noise may be louder than normal because they are drilling into solid rock, causing severe disturbance to the local ecology.” Dave also goes on to argue against the figures quoted in a recent EDF circular on the reduction in carbon dioxide emissions created by the turbines, claiming they are not as healthy as EDF suggests. That belief is also supported by Malcolm Covell who is leading the fight to stop the proposed wind farm near New Marske. So while it has to be the policy of a freely distributed magazine to remain as neutral as possible in any public argument we are nevertheless pleased to offer a forum for any of our readers who have strong opinions on the subject. We would love to hear from as many of you as possible to try and determine a balance between those ‘for’ and those against’ and any reasonable argument will be published in future editions. PAGE 18

Gardening Tips for April Essential Jobs Checklist For April
Give your lawn a feed and treat moss and weeds if necessary Plant new shrubs, perennials and rock plants. Plant main crop potatoes and onion sets Sow vegetables, herbs and annual flowers Divide and replant congested perennials Train in new shoots of clematis Start feeding indoor plants
Flower Garden
Sooner or later perennials will need dividing – ideally this should be done every three to five years. Once the plants starts to become woody or dies back at the centre it will benefit from being split up and replanted. Early April is a good time of year to tackle this. Dig up the plant and split it up into several portions, making sure each has a good share of root. Discard the woody centre. Dig over and fertilise the area for replanting, using your favourite soil conditioner and general plant food. Once planted, water in well and mulch. Garden centres are bursting with colour at this time of year and it’s easy to be tempted into buying new plants. Make sure they get off to a good start by preparing the soil well and using one of the planting mixtures. The clematis you pruned last month will be putting on masses of growth now. Spend a but of time training it and tying it in otherwise you’ll find it makes a congested mass. If you get training early you can spread the growing shoots widely over the chosen wall or fence and get a far better display of flowers. Be very careful with the new shoots as they are very brittle and easily broken. The flowers of spring bulbs will be dying off now. Don’t be tempted to cut the leaves and flowers down for at least six weeks after flowering as this will weaken the bulbs. By all means cut off the dead flower heads to stop those setting seed. Once you’ve done this give the clumps a generous feed with a Liquid Plant food. This will help the bulbs build up so that you get an even better display next spring Annual seeds can be sown in the open garden now. If you sow them in rows you’ll find it easier to thin them, and to tell them apart from weed seedlings. Don’t sow them too thickly. It’s a good idea to sow after there’s been a good downpour as the moisture in the soil will help the seeds germinate quickly. Do water if it becomes very dry. PAGE 20
THE EYE MAGAZINE - APRIL 2012
Green House
Continue to sow summer bedding. Last month’s sowings should be ready to prick out now. Sow tomatoes in pots – if you don’t have a greenhouse a warm windowsill is fine. Continue to start summer-flowering plants such as fuchsias, pelargonium’ s, begonias and dahlias into growth
Containers
Keep displays looking good by dead-heading and watering more frequently. Its still a little early to plant summer bedding so don ’ t be tempted, there however a great range of other hardy plants available for planting now. If spring flowering plants are still looking good give some liquid plant food to prolong their flowering.
Lawns
Give your lawn the pick me up it needs to ensure a smooth green carpet. Choose the appropriate product and use according to the instructions all staff members will be willing to assist you with your individual requirements. Be careful not to use if the grass is wet or you could end up with scorched grass.
Vegetable Garden
Plant second early potatoes at the beginning of the month and main crop varieties at the end of the month Plant out onion sets in rows, making sure you leave enough space between them for hoeing out the weeds. Continue to sow outdoors or under cloches – leeks, broad beans, beetroot, lettuce, parsnips, peas, mange-tout and spinach can all be treated in this way. Brussels sprouts and summer cauliflower and cabbage is best sown into a seed bed before transplanting in May
Herb Garden
Start using fresh growth from young herbs; this will encourage new growth for the season ahead. PAGE 21

Archaeology students get ‘hands on’ experience Archaeology students from Prior Pursglove College had a taste of life as a real archaeologist when they were invited to take part in a dig at the site of the Saxon Princess finds in Loftus. This fantastic privilege was offered to the students by the Dig Director, Dr Steve Sherlock, who has also been into the College to talk about the significance of the site to the AS and A level students. The rare and exceptionally beautiful Saxon Princess finds are currently on display in Kirkleatham Museum in Redcar. The students had a tour of the site and then were able to excavate some Saxon graves and some Iron Age features such as a ditch and a salt evaporation hearth. Equipment was lent to them by Dr Sherlock and also by Tees Archaeology. Kendra Quinn, who teaches Archaeology at the college said: “It was brilliant to have such a fabulous opportunity to actually excavate on the site of the Saxon Princess finds! This is a site of international importance and the students willingly turned out on a weekend to take part. We learn the theory of Archaeology in the classroom at College, but nothing beats the thrill of making your own finds and being the first to touch these items in hundreds and thousands of years. We all had a great time and are very grateful to Dr Steve Sherlock for allowing us this amazing opportunity.” The site has been in use since Neolithic times, with evidence of Bronze and Iron Age activity and also Roman and Saxon and is of international importance. Archaeology student Emily Wood, 19 from Guisborough said: "I have been up to PAGE 22
Streethouse in Loftus twice now. The first time I was able to watch the excavations take place and learn about the process, although it was cold it was still very enjoyable and was very useful as an introduction to my first year of Archaeology. My second visit enabled me to take part in the actual excavation, it proved to be good fun with lots of laughs and lots of learning, and a great way to experience what it would be like to be an archaeologist." Prior Pursglove is the only college in the area to offer Archaeology at AS and A level. The course covers a module on Archaeological Skills and Methods in the first year, together with a module on Religion and Ritual in Prehistoric Europe. In the second year, students get to study World Archaeology, which can be tailored to their personal interests. They also do a personal research project on a site and subject of their own choosing. The students have also been invited to do some local fieldwalking on some newly discovered sites in the area. Student Sam Conway, 18 from Marske added: “It’s absolutely amazing to be one of the few people that get to see remains of the past not seen by anyone else for hundreds of years, and that might not be able to be seen like this again.”

Letters to the editor Last month we published an account of a conversation between a hotel guest and the hotel’s Chinese proprietor. It was intended to be a humorous comment on our need to understand the many versions of the English language now prevalent in this country but sadly it appears to have upset one of our readers and for that we apologise. This is her letter To the Editor – Subject: Issue no 33 - page 20 TANJOOBERRYMUTTS I have chosen to contact you in relation to the article published in the recent Eye magazine. I was horrified to read the article identified above. I found it offensive and degrading to people from other countries and cultures. In this age of tolerance and respecting different cultures and difference it is irresponsible to publish such bigoted views and to promote apparent acceptance of laughing and poking fun at people from different nationalities. Why do you think such racist views and intolerances continue and that these prejudices are maintained? The article reminded me of outdated 1970's views that are just not relevant in today's society. I am disappointed that such a publication would print such an article and consider it acceptable in today's society. In general I enjoy reading The Eye and would hope that future articles will not stoop to these low standards. I look forward to your response Editor’s response. Dear Reader, While I am extremely disappointed that the above article upset you so much I nevertheless have to say in my defence that some of your comments are a little puzzling. You claim the article contained ‘bigoted views and promotes the apparent acceptance of poking fun at different nationalities’ suggesting in the process that such articles were a reason for the ‘continuation of racist views and intolerances.’ Reading through the offending piece again, however, confirms that it is purely the record of a conversation between two people and does not actually contain a single view, comment or opinion on anything so where exactly are the ‘bigoted views’ to which you refer? The introduction, in fact, talks about ’the friends’ we have made from foreign climes who are now residing here. In that respect my Friday evenings for the last forty years or so have been spent having a drink with a group of friends in Durham, one of whom is a Chinese chap who attended Durham University, fell in love with the city and its people and stayed. Having accepted my invitation to read the article he actually laughed out loud and admitted he found it funny and not in the least offensive. It is never our wish of The Eye to offend, however, and if we have done so on this occasion then we unreservedly apologise. It is very satisfying to hear that you usually enjoy the magazine and I sincerely hope you continue to do so. In view of your comment, though, I can assure you that even more attention will be paid to the content of articles we publish in the future.

Fortunately, The Numbers Add Up! Look at any league table after three quarters of a season’s games are completed and the statistics will tell you that the teams in the bottom half of the league are almost certainly the worst. League tables are built purely on results. They don’t lie; they don’t allow for degrees of misfortune and don’t take into account the number of injuries that need to be dealt with. Instead, league tables rightly show that over a season-long number of games these things even themselves out. And that’s why, when you look at the current Championship table the following teams deserve to be in their current position because they are not good enough to be any higher:- Portsmouth (24th); Coventry (22nd); Bristol City (21st); Millwall (19th); Peterborough (18th); Ipswich (15th) and Crystal Palace (14th). Sadly, the common denominator amongst the seven teams listed above is that each of them came to the Riverside this season and returned home with a point. Add to that the draws against Blackpool (7th); and Leicester (11th) plus a series of 0-2 defeats against Reading (2nd), West Ham (3rd), Leeds (10th) & Burnley (16th) and the total number of lost home points is a massive 30. Had we managed to win just half of those lost points we would now be sitting comfortably in the second automatic promotion spot. By now I’m sure you’re thinking that this is just another excuse to use statistics to knock ‘Boro’s performances, but it’s quite the opposite. The undeniable fact confirmed by the above statistics is that our away form has been absolute class and most certainly solid reason for complete optimism that we can make the play-offs. At the time of writing (prior to Ipswich away on March 27th) we are left with just three home games and five away games. Analysis of the season’s results to date show that on a pro-rata basis the number of points we can expect from our remaining games is therefore 6 at home and 11 away. That would give us a total of 78 points. If that could be achieved – and let’s be honest, it’s only our average for the season - our two nearest rivals (Cardiff and Blackpool) would need to score 18 points from 7 games to match us. They’re just not going to do it! If I’m now beginning to sound like one of those sad ‘Boro fans who cling to any statistic that might point to imminent success I apologize. In my defence, however, I think the reason that I sound like that is because I am actually one of those sad ‘Boro fans who cling to any statistic that might point to imminent success. And if further proof were needed might I also point out that while I have had two wives in my life I have only ever had one football team. Looking ahead it’s highly improbable that I’ll ever have another wife but I’m absolutely bloody certain I’ll never have another football team! Come on ‘Boro. You can do it!!! PAGE 30
