    Pre-Match Thread Torquay v Southend

    A couple of days away but with all the negativity surrounding the stadium and winding up order, thought it might be a decent distraction to think about this weekend's game. Form: Torquay - WWWLLD - 10th - 42 points Southend - WLWWWD - 11th - 42 points A win (and a lot of favourable results)...

  4. Ref for Saturday - pre Mick's excellent ref watch

    We have Roger East from Wiltshire. Domestic highlights of his career include assistant referee appointments on the 2003 League Two FL Play Off Final, the 2004 FA Cup Final and the 2006 Community Shield. Managed the game we lost at home to Millwall last March and our cup with against Northwich...
  5. Anyone been to Boston?

    People of SZ, Has anyone got any recommendations for Boston (not the one in Linconshire - Mad Cyril, I'm looking at you here). It's going to be part of our honeymoon tour and I've got the NYC thread to refer to for that part, so if anyone can give a few ideas it'd be appreciated. Ta muchly. :)

    Just watched Germany v Australia

    Anyone think right sided midfielder Wiltshire (Australia) looks like a younger version of Douggie Freedman ? Could start new thread past and present Sufc world cup look-alikes !

    Oddly Named Pubs

    Can anyone offer anything better than; ''The Dying Gladiator'' Seen in Brigg, North Lincolnshire. Also honourable mention for ''Dog & Rat'' in Broughton, North Lincolnshire.
  8. Would you have her courage?

    On Mr B's "Pictures of Birds" thread, Boris posted up a picture of a lady called Sarah Jane Howe. It was a bit different from the others on the thread because, as Boris pointed out, she seemed to have no nipples. Below is her story - and as asked in the thread title, would you have her courage?

    Snooker "cheat" arrest

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/wiltshire/8512077.stm Never liked him to be honest. Looks like a pig.

    Cup - Season 15

    Redrawn for the third time, should be the final one. I've switched to a home tie but have got myself a IV team with a couple of 100k+ players so will need to be a full strength team on display. Anyone else got an interesting one? I'm not rating Marvel's chances of progressing! Beech Botom v...

    Good Luck From Swindon Town Fan!

    AS MOST people know Swindon Town have lurched from crisis to crisis over the 1990's 2000's. We basically paid stupid wages to players when we were in the Premier League during the 1993-94 season (yes if you blinked you missed it, check the record books we have the record for most goals conceeded...

    Martin Winger Ling

    Martin Ling could have moved to the top of the list for the manager’s job at Blue Square Premier club Cambridge United. The former Leyton Orient boss looks set to be shortlisted for the post, left vacant by last week’s sacking of Gary Brabin, after being interviewed by the board. Chairman...

    Ref Watch Ref v Tranmere.

    Interesting to see a Tranmere fans views on the ref... Referee Watch Dean Whitestone (Northamptonshire) - Decent enough game from the man in the middle and his assistants. The penalty for Rovers was the correct decision although the free-kick from which Rovers conceded the late winner was a...

    Question Interactive Novel Writing

    Ok, bit of a weird one this. I have here the first 1,500 words of a story, battered out in an afternoon to no distinct end or conclusion. It's a first draft, it hasn't been polished or checked and, critically, it doesn't have a direction. I was thinking of a British version of Lost/Journey To...

    Shepherd's Bush Shrimper's Scunny Report

    Apologies for the delay with this one. Makes less depressing reading than reports of our humping in Bristol though.... It’s fair to say that the North Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire region is not a happy hunting ground for us Shrimpers. We very rarely seem to pick up points at the lovely...

    World of Warcraft - Taking decent offers

    While my wife and kids were away last week in Lincolnshire my son bought World of Warcraft - a disc for the basic game plus another disc for burning crusade. ORM is mildly ****ed that the shop (Game) didn't tell them at the time there was a monthly subscription (I only found this out when I...
  19. Ref Watch Cheltenham ... back so soon.

    Having refereed our final non-match of the season against Port Vale, Andy Woolmer (like Dean Whitestone also from Northamptonshire) returns to take charge of our League Cup tie at home to Cheltenham. Obviously there is little to add since last time except that he is now in his 5th season and...

    Date of ticket sales

    Hello all! I live in Lincolnshire, about 20 miles from Peterborough and am thinking of taking a few people from up here to a day at the hall against the posh in August (oh how fun). I was just wondering when tickets go on sale?
