  1. For some reason, Bridgwater United Women played on it yesterday. Has been a lot of rain in past 24 hours in Taunton apparently but seems a strange decision to allow another club to play on it when the surface is so fragile.
  2. I think a big no. 9 should be one of the top things on City's shopping list this summer. Before anyone flames me, someone like Chris Martin would be perfect. Not saying that City should go rob him from Rovers but he's the TYPE of player they could do with. Someone that holds the ball up, brings others into play and chips in with 10-15 goals themselves.
  3. Ah thanks, that's very kind of you, appreciate those words. Limitations is a great word and no disrespect taken either, it was a good way of putting it. The last couple of games since I posted that have seen two wins so things are already looking brighter & with us still having to play a few of the teams around us, I would hope we had enough to stay up.
  4. Spoke to someone at the Swansea game that knows Cornick very well from his time at Luton and whose opinion I deeply respect. He said Cornick's success at Luton came by playing up front off a big number 9 and that playing out wide in a 4-2-3-1 or a 3-4-3 or even a 4-3-3 was not getting the best out of him at all. Only trouble is, City don't have a big number 9 for him to play off so maybe Cornick is not the problem here.
  5. Am going to my first England game at the age of 55 v Belgium on Tuesday. Sat in Block 248, in the corner.
  6. It would probably never get made these days but what an utterly brilliant programme that was in so many ways!
  7. Noticed that. They lost 4-0 to Wincanton yesterday which compared with some scoreliones they've had this season, has been quite respectable. Their under-18's are decent, yes, we have them on Thursday night. Think a few have stepped up into the first team this season and some play for the reserves too. Like the sound of Fin Maddern although I've never seen him play.
  8. Must admit I'm quite heavily involved with a club at risk of going down and we don't really have any idea as to how many are going down. I think it's hardly a big gamble to say Bishop Sutton and Cheddar will be the bottom two & if I were them, which I'm not, I'd be planning for next season at a step down. My side, Hengrove, are third bottom but have the other four teams in the bottom five to play still so our fate is in our hands. One thing I have heard is that four sides may have applied to return from the Hellenic and three more have applied for promotion from below. If true, seven teams wanting to come in may be difficult to ignore, so maybe three will drop. Ironic really as in the ten years I have been a TWL secretary, don't remember many teams being relegated due to their lack of points. Chard (their sloping ground), Chippenham Park (their link to first team) & Ashton & Backwell (folded their first team) all went and a few moved laterally or downwards away from the TWL (Devizes, Bishop's Lydeard etc).
  9. And their sister Onya, who invented the starting pistol.
  10. Not sure, Phantom, but Truro are playing at least one more game there, versus Chelmsford on Saturday night (yes, Saturday night) at 7.30pm. Gloucester City are hosting Boston United at 3pm before Truro's game later on. So there will be a National League North game followed by a National League South game on the same pitch, the same day. Having seen the pictures of Taunton's pitch on their Twitter account earlier, think they will struggle to play any time soon unless we have a good 4-5 days of absolutely no rain at all and decent drying winds!
  11. Yes, only the Lansdown Lower is open for the games against the lower & mid table sides. For the other matches, Dolman is open + on a couple of occasions, the South Stand was too.
  12. These are brilliant, one of the funniest Twitter accounts out there. The way they shoehorn Dion Dublin into every one is superb. There was one a few weeks back where I thought they'd missed DD out but there he was, popped up at the last minute.
  13. Bizarre day for Keynsham then as their first team game at Crown Fields was postponed very, very late after a shower of rain. Wincanton Town had arrived and warmed up apparently before the shower... seems strange.
  14. It's pronounced NG (enn-gee), as it's spelt. That came from the Cardiff media team.
