 BRIGHT GOLDEN HAZE - home of the best(or only)Yeltz fanzine
Bright Golden Haze is the proud sponsor of Jay Denny for the 2008/09 season
 The fanzine is out! It can be obtained from the Waggon & Horses, Yeltz Bar and the HTSA suite within the Grove or you can buy it from my, ahem, shop.
Ultimate latest site news - August 22nd 2008
Bright Golden Haze is staying put! This site will continue as the online vehicle for the Bright Golden Haze fanzine and my inconsequential ramblings on all things Halesowen Town.
I will also, along with my trusty sidekick, be running the 'unofficial' home of Halesowen Town FC - www.yeltz.co.uk. This is the place to go for extensive statistics, match reports, club records and, of course, the famous Yeltz forum. It is, it almost goes without saying, magnificent and you should really have a look.
If it's more stats you want go here...

It's a long trip up north to the plastic pitch of Durham City in the FA Trophy after they beat Curzon Ashton in their replay tonight. It's a bloody long way to go for the first qualifying round to face a team who've conceded just one goal in their seven league games so far this season. A tough day in prospect on the pitch with the risk of some deep vein thrombosis thrown in on the coach. Marvellous.
As is the way with most of our players it seems Daryl Taylor's spell at the Yeltz was a short one. The promise of regular first team football has lured him to Hinckley United. You'd need something to lure you - I don't think I'd go there voluntarily.
Finally - I saw Morell Maison in Halesowen today. Physio Rob Woodbine is right (wait until issue 2 of BGH - this is what we in the trade call a teaser) - he does always wear the same clothes!

It has occurred to me that this team is the second that Morell Maison has built since he took over last October.
Let's have a look at the starting line-ups from the play-off final against Team Bath last season and the team that played yesterday:
So which is better? There are two obvious differences to me. Firstly, the shift to three central defenders which I don't like and secondly we are much weaker up front. It's difficult to argue with the goals that Palmer and Rowe have scored, and I think Justin Rowe in particular is a good player, but in Dean Brennan we had a clinical finisher and Eldon was capable of producing moments of genuine brilliance which set him apart from virtually every player in the league. With Brennan and Maquemba we were never out of the game but I'm not so sure you can say that about Rowe and Palmer.

Bedford Town 1 Halesowen Town 0
Another defeat and (apparently) a dismal performance after we went behind after about 20 minutes. A lot of other teams will play twice before we play again in the league so we will be mid-table by then with ground to make up. So, after 8 league games and 3 defeats it has been, at best, a moderate start. It's not time to panic but I have a feeling that the Chippenham game (and the events afterwards) may come to be remembered as the end of Morell Maison's honeymoon period. He needs to start again now which he can and almost certainly will do but only league wins really matter at the moment.
Transfer news: Chris Sanna, a goalkeeper, signed from Colwyn Bay and made his debut today.
Added Friday 3rd October
Back to league duty tomorrow away to Jack Duckworth's each way bet Bedford Town. Early days as it is, it is a big game as Farnborough, as well as playing tomorrow, have two further games before we play another league game. If we lose tomorrow they could have 29 points by the time we play Brackley on October 14 (and that is subject to FA Cup replays), which even allowing for three games in hand is a big lead.
Added Thursday 2nd October
Colin Brookes is in the Halesowen Chronicle today saying the club have had no contact with Dean Brennan and will be contacting him in the next few days to decide how to proceed. It may not be a long conversation.
Gavin Hoyte has been signed on loan from Cambridge United until the New Year. He played against us when he was on loan at King's Lynn last year and is an excellent player. We've got loads of centre-halves now - perhaps instead of three of them we are looking to play eleven.
