I got offered 2 programs from 1985 but told the family to give it to EITC for a possible auction. Wish I’d had seen them though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I’d had seen them though Matt, I have loads of programs from the 1950's and 1960's, including the first game I played for Yorkshire Amateur in 1957. (the year I was demobbed from the Army) Away at Goole Town. I also have six Yorkshire Amateur 'home' programs for the 1957/58 season. Must have about 20 odd programs for the 1950's/60's, mainly Amateur Cup games against teams from all over the country. Several London clubs. The biggest difference, distance wise was between Durham City (unfortunately didn't get a program) and Eastbourne United (did get a program).

MikeO Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Minority interest only I'm sure but a Brit (Joe Salisbury) made it into the final of the Oz open tennis overnight. Only mentioning it due to the bizarre nature in which him and his partner got the decisive break in the deciding set; Alexander Bublik of Kazakhstan served it and it went... 15-0 Double fault 15-15 30-15 Double fault 30-30 Double fault 30-40 Ace 40-40 Double fault 40-A Double fault game over. Sounds like the sort of game I played as a ten year old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 Potential win win.... if we get 5th and get champs league then Man City will be going all out for the Pram in the next 2 years, which will hopefully stop that shower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree in part but you have to set the bar somewhere, and now everyone will sit up and listen. And besides if we finish 5th we are in the CL so let it stick.

Palfy Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 They have been found guilty of inflating sponsorship deals to beat FFP rules. This surely has to be worrying for many clubs including us, we could easily be found guilty of the same thing how Usmanov’s money is coming into the club, to try and balance the books after the disastrous 3 years of spending.

From the moment the owner's cousin, or whoever, awarded them a marketing contract of immense proportions, this has looked rather obvious from the outside. Of course, it's dangerous and unfair to assume; however, I'm not at all surprised of this news. Now we need a commission to determine the impact of gambling sponsorships and their influence on VAR decisions. https://www.thedrum.com/news/2019/08/05/the-season-kicks-just-three-premier-league-clubs-have-no-betting-brand-partnerships Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had snowed all week and only five games were played in the whole of the country, including ours. Durham put 80 tons of sand on the pitch and it was just like playing on the beach. We actually had a match report on the radio 'Sports Report'. We won 2 - 0. I have a match report from the Observer which described me as a 'young player with a future'. Should I take them to court?

MikeO Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/51590396 Wow! My mum used to have a shoulder that she dislocated many, many times; when we were little it was a hospital job and she was in agony but as it happened more often and got "looser" she just used to pop it back in and carry on as if nothing had happened, she knew the correct technique and did it without thought. But a knee? In a football match? If she was a man she'd have quite a pair! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trainer couldn't get it back in so I said 'leave it to me', which is why it's still dislocated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 I'm so bored I nearly started watching the Rugby League game this afternoon (how come they're still playing btw?) but then I decided I wasn't that bored and went and sat in the garden so watch the grass grow instead.
