The re-arranged date for Swindon at home is on Tuesday 28th October 7:45 ko.

All because Swindon have got 3 international players on international duty and are worried that it will make a big difference, I bet they wouldn't do it for us if we had players on international duty.

BBC have stated that Grayson was approached for the Leeds job last Monday but turned them down

Guys

As we get this up and running there are undoubtedly going to be some teething issues and things we would like to see improved, changed or added. Rather than posting these in existing threads I have added this thread so that we can keep these suggestions in one place as they arise.

I promise to make Mark and Stairs aware of them all and so far they have been quick to respond and implement things. I cannot promise that all of them will get done but I am happy to suggest the things that you want.

Please don't repeat the ones already posted, I will take care of those now.

Brilliant idea, this, although I wonder if it's better off being a board for sporting nostalgia in general? Obviously that can encompass a thread or threads on our own experiences playing and supporting, but also just reminiscing about bygone sporting events and culture...

My own story about being a player? I was shite. Not enough pace to be a winger (despite the old man being a medal-winning distance runner), not enough eye for goal to be up front, not especially capable of beating a man unless luck was on my side, which ruled out central midfield; my "gifts" were half-decent reaction times which often saw me in goal, and being naturally left-footed, which made me a prime candidate for the standard just-stick-someone-there-and-hope-for-the-best position of left back. There, I was allowed to roam free in my very own realm, unshackled from the responsibilities of being any good, and required just to stick the boot in on anyone who strayed into my territory (and as far as I was concerned, that included my teammates).

The Glorious Day was a school match which was a stalemate at 1-1 with minutes to go. I got the ball off our keeper, who'd stopped booting them long - in a scandalous betrayal of the time-honoured English schoolboy tactics book - because our short-arse striker was losing every single aerial battle. So suddenly, I was required to play out from the back; to that end, I knocked a short ball to our central midfielder, and to my surprise, under pressure, he made it a one-two which beat their right winger and gave me a wide open flank to run at.

Oh yes. I'm going on an adventure.

I looked for our left winger to pass to, and he made a run towards the byeline, but their right back tracked him well so I carried on into the space the right back had left open. And then I was on the edge of the penalty area, still looking to pass but with no one open, so kept on motoring for goal, getting ready to place what would probably have been a wasteful shot, until their right centre-back came across and just hacked me down with a last-ditch challenge. A more blatant penalty you've never seen.

Did I want to take it? Did I f**k. But my teammates were going on the age-old lads' principle of "you won it, you take it", so I had to step up. My mate James told me to aim right and put my laces through it, so I did just that. Walloped it. Had enough time as my boot made contact to think that I'd spooned it and it was going a mile over the bar.

Nope. Top right-hand corner. Keeper nowhere near it. It was the winner.

It wasn't too long after that I announced my triumphant retirement from the world of sport to pursue far more healthy interests such as beer and pork pies, but The Glorious Day will always be there, and I suspect it'll never be bettered.

.....who exactly is on here from the old new606??
Come on, Letsby Avenue!!

( Likes required....)

Looks like I'm the first Spireite to make the big leap across to the new site hopefully I won't be the only one. I will try and drum up some new Spireites for this site who weren't on New 606.

33 Year old forward Andrew Johnson back at Palace under Neil Warnock
How long before Paddy Kenny and Michael Tonge are signed?

Seem`s to have really become an issue after selling Danny Welbeck to Arsenal that Man Utd are losing there identity by selling players that have come through the ranks

Welbeck by the way is probably the most successful forward to come through the ranks since Mark Hughes-there`s been plenty who didnt make it at Man Utd and did ok elsewhere David Healy, David Johnson, Jovan Kirovski etc

Despite what the papers say its always been about selling homegrown players even the likes of Gary Walsh, Clayton Blackmore, Nicky Butt, Phil Neville, Norman Whiteside, John O Shea, Wes Brown, David Beckham were all sold without it being an issue of losing identity
Theres certainly a damn lot more in Danny Higginbottom, Ronnie Wallwork, Kevin Pilkington, Simon Davies, John Curtis, Luke Chadwick and half the Leicester city squad amongst the many others who have been brought through the ranks and sold off, I dont see why suddenly its been become a problem?

Fantastic tournament coming to these shores next season. There is nothing like an international rugby game to get your passions raised (Except an Albion v Wolves battle).

There is a ballot open now to try for tickets in advance on the official RWC 2015 Site http://www.rugbyworldcup.com/ticketing/

I'm in!!!!
