Publication date for the book 'The Road to Wembley from Scotland' could be soon and Dougal the Dog is keen to promote the launch

Just a brief update this weekend – for those who are interested. The publication date for the book was reported last week as Saturday the 5^th August (to coincide with the extra preliminary round of the FA Cup season 2017-18). The book will definitely be available on this date. In fact there is a very strong possibility that it will be available for purchase even earlier – maybe even significantly earlier. Putting it all together is a painstaking experience but I am getting a massive amount of help from Kev Panther the programme editor for Skelmersdale United FC. Words can not express how grateful I am to Kev for his assistance and it is proof positive that there is such a thing as the football fraternity and it is a wonderful community to be part of – full of warmth and genuine friendship. Thanks Kev.

Fathers Day today and my youngest daughter Mo who has produced the artwork and branding for the Road to Wembley from Scotland (and who will produce the cover for the book) popped round to don the famous RtWfS T-shirt that she designed. Thanks Mo.

Mo’s dog Dougal also got in on the act and wore the famous T shirt with pride.

Barking Mad! Dougal is on the Road to Wembley from Scotland

 I will pop out a blog post next weekend when I hope to be absolutely precise about the launch date for the book. I also intend to write one last long-ish post where I try to make sense of what this wonderful nonsense was all about … so keep reading.
