Re: Rumour season opens

"I've heard a few things, let's see if they come true but the return of Moore as DoF and George Lloyd potentially to another league one side not too far away seem to be doing the rounds. Worryingly nothing much on the incoming player side." Why is this "worringly"? We have just b...

Please, let's put this bed NOW. We can surely rise above belated petty stuff and infighting. Look back on this thread... It's now anal.

Re: No programmes anymore

RCS - Thank You. But thinking on, if there was printed version I would have bought into it. It was a bad example to cite. It was a game few could attend. You really need to have been there.

Second half better - BUT we do know (of old) finding the goal, and/or better still scoring one, is generally hard wor...
