Re: ARTICLE: First Turf Moor floodlights switched on
In a dim, dark corner of my mind there is something that tells me that the floodlights were second-hand and bought from the army - Aldershot maybe? That match was the one and only time my younger brother went on t'Turf. After seeing the lights he wanted to go home and spent the entire match sulking...

Re: Salford v Leeds
To be honest I'm sick and tired of the exposure Leeds get. It's the third time this season. A good reason for thinking about cancelling my Sky subscription. Come on Sky there's 23 other teams in the Championship. Are Salford actually behind Leeds in the exposure they are getting from Sky? Already b...

The suggestion that we were pants for the first part of the season due to the idea of rotating squad players is nonsense I didn't suggest that it was due to that - I was merely pointing out that when we did go in for squad rotation we didn't do very well.
