Cricket? England v South Africa tomorrow Racing? Moved from sat to sun So it's just football! Did they play today yes or no ? They’ve cancelled one day of the test - the football authorities have cancelled one game day yes or no ? The two games today were part of Saturday’s game day yes or no ? As ...

An obvious answer, the obvious reply then is why have the governing body decided to postpone matches when it appears to be ONLY football and no other sport or industry is affected??

Cricket .. racing .. ?

There is a world of difference between a couple of
private training games at Gawthorpe and a public friendly
on the Turf let alone a League fixture

thehistorylecturer1

Friendly matches are not scheduled on what would be game days at all. The rest of the sporting fixtures seem to be a go but the footy overlords decided to shaft us to maintain whatever perceived public image they think they have Indeed they are not but it wasn’t a game day as of last night was it ?...

Odd that the “working class game” has to stop but Rugby a game invented for the posh and rich gets to continue.
I guess I just have to “grow up ffs” then I might understand hey.

Oh yes the ‘posh and rich’ live for their RL

End of the day, it’s a week or so. We can all deal with no football for a week and a bit can’t we? I’m not saying it’s a right or wrong decision, just looking at it like that - it’s not a big ask really is my attitude.

Think I read somewhere this week that the locals are glad there will be no more filming.

I’m not surprised - it gets a bit wearing after a while being held up on your own doorstep while some idiot takes half a day to film twenty seconds of TV

Just got round to watching this last night. The caravan park is in Formby. The police station is in Bolton, at the rear of the town hall. I think it’s council offices and is call Le Mans Crescent or something like that.

Enjoyed it myself.

excellent … mind the Manics we’re on too and they were also very good

Thought all three were excellent.
Can’t agree with Wallace being excellent when he got near the corner flag he had no end product and passed back yards and lost all his side’s momentum
Thought he looked a league 1 player

Agreed

would you prefer us to play in our current home kit or their away kit? (badges etc. changed to ours of course )

Twine is a lad that I think might take a little while to adjust to this level.

Physically it is a big jump.

Twine is injured difficult to judge his ability to adjust at present … he has suffered the type of injury that players get at any level from non-league step 7 to the very top
of the game

From L1 training to basically PL quality coaching is some leap.
Interesting that Twine and McNally seem to have struggled a bit so far, could it be fitness levels?

Twine is injured

May I ask, as in the case of signing a player who has an injury ie Naki Wells types in the past or maybe shortly the player from Coventry.

It can all be done remotely now. Half of our medicals this summer have been conducted overseas and contracts can be signed anywhere.

All of our medicals to date this summer have been completed in the North West of England as is usual .
