Timbeeeeeeeeeeeeeer

It's common knowledge that Histon are all about saving money at the moment, and it seems the playing budget isn't the only thing being cut back at the Glassworld.

For the Villagers have landed themselves in hot water by chopping down a load of protected trees near their ground.

Stop laughing at the back, it's a serious business, and one which could see the cash-strapped Stutes lumbered with a £20,000 fine. To make matters worse, the perpetrators seem to have conveniently vanished.

"We had an address for them [the tree fellers] but when we tried to contact them there was no-one there. They are travellers and must have moved on. They have disappeared," a folorn sounding Tony Roach told today's CN. Travellers moving on eh, who could have forseen such a thing? I hope the Villagers got a receipt.

Histon seem to lurch from one disaster to another at the moment, with Roach, Uncle Fester, and the players contradicting each other from one day to the next. One can only think that it's karma coming round to kick them up the backside for all the gloating and smugness we have had to endure from the Glassworld in recent years, and hopefully they will be destablised enough that we can at least manage a draw in Saturday's match.

Before that United travel to Kettering tonight looking to extend our unbeaten run to five games. Is it too late for a play-off charge?
