It's the home of Leigh Centurions RL team, and where Blackburn Rovers reserves play.

As this is my nearest EPL ground, I shall be attending my first Home game of the season.

Wigan are not a form team - only 1 win in their last 10 EPL games ( away @ Villa ), and only 6 points from 30.

Let's look at the stats : [TABLE=class: infobox vcard] [TR] [TH=align: left]?–2008[/TH] [TD]Bedworth United[/TD] [TD=align: right]?[/TD] [TD=align: right](?)[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TH=align: left]2008–2009[/TH] [TD]Redditch United[/TD] [TD=align: right]?[/TD] [TD=align: right](?)[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TH=align: left]2009–2011[/TH] [TD]Leicester City[/TD] [TD=align: right]0[/TD] [TD=align: right](0)[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TH=align: left]2009[/TH] [TD]→ Crewe Alexandra (loan)[/TD] [TD=align: right]7[/TD] [TD=align: right](0)[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TH=align: left]2010[/TH] [TD]→ Histon (loan)[/TD] [TD=align: right]8[/TD] [TD=align: right](0)[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TH=align: left]2010[/TH] [TD]→ Kidderminster Harriers (loan)[/TD] [TD=align: right]1[/TD] [TD=align: right](0)[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TH=align: left]2010[/TH] [TD]→ Darlington (loan)[/TD] [TD=align: right]26[/TD] [TD=align: right](4)[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TH=align: left]2011–2012[/TH] [TD]Kettering Town[/TD] [TD=align: right]22[/TD] [TD=align: right](3)[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TH=align: left]2011[/TH] [TD]→ Mansfield (loan)[/TD] [TD=align: right]4[/TD] [TD=align: right](1)[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TH=align: left]2012[/TH] [TD]Floriana FC[/TD] [TD=align: right]15[/TD] [TD=align: right](5)[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] So he was 'at' Leicester's academy, never played for them, and left to join Kettering. His most recent club plays in Malta. Building a side for the Conference ?

If she was prosecuted in this country, wouldn't her defence costs get paid by the State ?

More of the same on Saturday - but with better finishing.

We need to do something about the left side of defence - it's a bugger when Phil Jones is a major attacking threat due to the free kicks he wins.

Well at least MP will see how bad Fox is defensively.

Wooooooooooooot!!!!!!!!!

That date is irrelevant, the FL's deadline is June 30th.

You would have thought that after the first successful appeal, they would have got the parole hearing problem fixed.

Do you think he took it to Strasbourg, or his self-interested lawyers ?

So who decides when somebody loses their Human Rights ? Is it on conviction ? Is it only if the sentence involves custodial time ? Is it for certain offences - such as rape ? But then is it ALL rapes, or only those involving victims under 16 ? Do you believe that a UK Bill of Rights would work any differently ? Once you start being selective, the system is open to manipulation and abuse. This is simply another case where the question should be 'How did officials who know full well what the regulations are allow this to be overlooked for so long' ? If the rules had been applied correctly, his appeal would have happened, been refused, and there would not have been a case to answer in the HR Court.

All the players used are in their respective teams' Premier League squads, and therefore should be good enough to play in the EPL. Same with Saints, if due to injuries or suspension we are forced to pick Tadanari Lee or SDR as starters we'll no doubt bemoan our fate, but they are well paid to warm the bench. Remember a couple of seasons ago when we hosted Blackpool in the FA Cup and HollowHead fielded a 'weakened team', but nobody commented on the number of changes Saints made to their starting 11.

1 year nearer early retirement.

The older they get the more they cost, ( and it doesn't stop when they move out ).

I don't think the FL do have discretion - the last team I can remember in this situation were Stockport; they went into admin in April 2009 and were still in admin at the start of season 2009/2010. They came out of admin in the middle of June 2010, 2 weeks before the FL deadline relating to season 2010/2011. Grimsby Town were hoping that they would have been invited to make up the numbers in L2 if Stockport had been kicked out, as they had finished 23rd that season, but the FL said they would have operated with 23 teams.

Clarinet

But there is always the OTHER court appearance - you know, the one where clever Trevor has to ask politely for permission from the creditors to extend the administration.

Which are ?

In reply to Trousers - above : So the main thing NA did wrong was to deliver the project ahead of schedule ? I think this sort of analysis might well provide an insight into NA's reactions after the Coventry game at the end of last season.

This.

Well the crowd were singing the latter.

Luke.

Good start against a good team - maybe should have been ahead at half time, but hanging on a bit at the end.
