A joint promotion and extinction party next week then Brizzie

Woken up on the other side of the world to this great news. The FL were always going to act, it was the timing that was the issue, they did not want to be seen to be responsible for killing off the club. So why today? What made them finally run out of patience? Answers on a post card, let us rejoice, Friday 13th!

That Swindon match, chanting for Pardew to make a substitution, there seemed no hope that night. Another painful night was Preston away losing 4 nil. I had a meeting in Machester that dat, nipped up to Preston, but had to be in Sheerness the next morning. Miserable long drive. Museum was good though.

Rangers block international clearance for transfers of five players http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/jul/09/rangers-block-transfers

Interesting reading Whitey, wish you well. I have had similar issues over the last couple of years, and have now at the grand young age of 55 I have been offered the chance to live and work in Brisbane. The big attraction is the work life balance here, I the four months I have recently spent here my blood pressure has gone down, and I await the results of my glucose test to confirm I have moved out of the type 2 danger zone. I should have learned about balance when my wife died 12 years ago, but alas after a few years I was back in the rut. I have learned this time and your story only reinforces the commitment I am about to make to join the ranks of Brizzie Saints. And Juddie if you are reading this also take note!

So no ice creams to go with the free tickets to attract the kids then?

Indeed, which one of Viafara, Quashie or Palmer could pass a ball, let alone as well as Morgan can?

The past is gone. Football has moved on from these types, they would not get anywhere near top flight football these days.

Will be there!

Avoid France! There is no speed on the Motorways during August.

A chap I used to work with at the OS in the seventies got done for that. The irony was that at work he was a really straight guy never swinging the civil service lead so to speak.

And me for 21st

It can happen, Administrators can be sacked........ http://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/companies/onetel-liquidator-sacked-by-nsw-supreme-court/story-fn91v9q3-1226401685915 THE special purpose liquidator of the failed telecommunications company One.Tel has been forcibly removed from his role by the NSW Supreme Court after it found he had lost objectivity and the ability to do his job properly. Paul Weston, who has served as special purpose liquidator since December 2003, was yesterday removed from his role after judge Patricia Bergin found creditors, led by Optus, had lost confidence in him.

At the moment any Saturday up to the end of July for me

Pig n whistle was a good laugh this morning for the England game. It is a lock in Friday/Saturday. Be there by 3am! Went to Aus Japan match tonight. Seen better refs in the Hampshire League. Entertaining game albeit short of quality. Hope to catch you all again soon.

Well to be fair we did sack Ranger. Shame other clubs felt fit to take him on. He is still getting into trouble. I suppose he will always be taken on by someone who values results rather than image, see Barton etc.

Anyone going to the pig and whistle for the England game 11th June?

Cheers DC, class player. Thanks for your vital contribution

I am here until the end of July, so any date before then suits me.

Statistically the team finishing second does better the next season in the EPL than the team finishing first or third. And look at last year from league 1, did Brighton finish above us?

If they get as far as June 2nd, and CVA2 is granted, you can rest assured that the FL and the other member clubs will not grant them the golden share for next season without a points penalty for failing to complete CVA1.

I am in!
