  1. I was amazed how fit some of them are. I've done  sub-3 hour marathons and a sub-1 hour 10 miles, but running consumed a large part of my life to achieve it.

    For any budding runners reading this, the Ashbourne 1/2 marathon is a real toughie, possibly harder than Eyam, and definitely much harder than Buxton (unless they've changed the course.) The cattle grids don't help, either.

    After the Jo’burg openers both got ducks, a superb match winning 81 not out from du Plooy in the SA20 yesterday. They are currently joint top in the standing.

    Looks like the new captain will be coming back to start his reign brimming with confidence ?

    Sadly, he got a duck today. The vagaries of cricket, eh?

  3. A couple of quotes from the Morecambe Forum.

    "Ref is giving them everything. We've been pulled back/down a few times and got nothing, but their lads go down, free-kick every time."

    Famiiar?

    "Yes Derby are excellent, but we're just letting them attack, attack and attack again. Their defence could start a card school to keep them occupied."

    Are you sure they're not quivering with excitement at the wonderful play before them and in the magnificent Stadium!

    More like quaking with fear lest they get one of the EFL special rules wrong.

  5. This from Wikipedia

    The pitch is clay underneath the grass, rather than sand. These two factors make the pitch vulnerable to freezing temperatures. It is an extremely dry pitch, which often makes passing football quite difficult. There is also a coal seam under the pitch, and numerous mine shafts dotted around the local area, including many under the park opposite the ground.

    The Vale Park pitch is one of the widest in the Football League.The pitch was originally laid over a filled-in marl hole and does not have a subsoil structure so is liable to flooding as it lacks proper drainage; a complete re-laying of the pitch would be needed to fix the issue (the club were quoted £450,000 for this work in 2014

    Sounds Good.

    We are in the 3rd division - if we can’t get anyone else and Bristol city are paying most of his wages why not?

    That would go down well the BC forum. Bring it on.

    As for 'He's coming home', I thought he was born in Beccles.
