Wigan currently 2-0 up over Huddersfield.

You can go there for free on any Saturday for a late morning or afternoon university match being played on one of the many pitches (except the main one with a barrier around it). We don’t own it or have sole use of it and Imperial College have about 10 teams using it for football and possibly also rugby too.

Assume it was a re-arranged game so doesn't feature on there?

Think that happened with one of our games we all assumed would be featured?

Birmingham v Leyton Orient.

What result are we hoping for ?

I’m hoping for a Birmingham win, conceding the title to Birmingham but keeping Orient well out of the way of 2nd place.

more strikes than a bowling alley

That’s the trouble with football, you can’t make footballers redundant because even if they are not performing they are a huge asset.

The canteen was costing the club about £500,000 a year in free meals and wages, so not insignificant.

Once players contracts are up I expect the club to hugely trim the playing staff and wage bill also, that will take 2-3 seasons, it’s just unfortunate the staff on the normal wages and behind the scenes are getting culled first.

Will be a long road back for Man Utd, I hope they stick with Amorim though.

Still no caramel wafers in the kiosks what kind of operation are you running here.

oh and an update on the academy would be nice.

Perfect opportunity to voice them in the flesh.

Though you'd assume it won't be a free for all.
