Re: Arthur Hayward

Maybe this reflective post on the late Arthur Hayward should have have driven a 'success' post elsewhere? For me, it was a great tribute from CTFC (NB with no dig attached) - and also from Jon Palmer. Never met the guy, but know his name so well. A club stalwart, with his heart in the right place. A...

READING - There maybe a game on Tuesday?

Loads of 'sideways' threads current, but maybe let's move on...? This last few games has been a moment. From what I read, £12000 for a win per game in this cup? But maybe already qualified...? So maybe a plusage? This is surely a good thing?
