This Saturday, , , ,

I'm still taking in some live sport but the one with the funny shape ball! Watching Northampton Saints for FREE, , just looked out of interest how much the seats cost and where I am sitting is £55!! Never realized is was so expensive

It's going to be scorcher apparently. An Indian Summer if you will.....

Think I'll give the Halifax v Chesterfield game a watch (17:15 BT Sport) to see how much the mighty Chesterfield have fallen.

Your bath must be massive with a plug that size  

I’m going to plant an apple tree and then have a chicken madras.

I will be looking after my chickens in the garden,

Off to Mansfield shopping - don't want to waste the train ticket!

Shopping????

Just do a tour of the pubs and get wasted!

I wouldn't go to Mansfield even if I had a train ticket!

Having a day and night out in Glasgow and then off to Newlandsfield (home of Pollok FC) on Sunday to see Auchinleck Talbot in the Western League Cup Final vs Lesmahagow Juniors. One of the biggest mismatches on paper that there's probably ever been in a Junior Cup Final, so hope it's not going to be anything bar a significant Talbot victory.

Taking care of business, badda bing badda boom, Pollo Sopresa!

Playing for the team I run in the Taunton league (Welly A AFC) always check results straight after but seems though town aren't playing I won't bother.

Spot of fishing and relaxing

Might go into freshney place with the wife for a look I haven’t been up there in about 2 years, she normally drags me to Leeds / Meadowhall  ..will I be safe

I will enjoy Saturday with my son as no football game for me.

Will enjoy next Saturday with the visit of Exeter.

Missing Col U game as going away for the week with The Missus and son that week.

Here's to 6 points out of 6.

Hoping always,

U.T.M.

Ought to be painting Saturday. Ought to be.

Went in on a Saturday in August, admittedly the Summer, but it was dead. It's dying there.

Celebrating my birthday, but spoilt by the match being cancelled after Son Of had paid for my ticket.

I'll be shovelling 2 tons of topsoil onto the back lawn to level it. Once they've been wheelbarrowed round the back of the house which is going to take 30 journeys I reckon.

Can't wait.  

i shall be directly supervising the staff for a change - 1 of my stable lads hasn't been mucking out to a sufficient standard, the head gardener needs to sort out the vegetable garden and lower paddock, whilst I simply must tour my estate and wood lands with the gamekeeper.






or else i might just go to the pub

Anyone going in for this?

A Cleethorpes fish and chip shop is offering hungry locals the chance to win free fish and chips for the year if they are able to take on an epic challenge this weekend.

Papa's Fish and Chips are holding a special all you can eat contest this Saturday at 4pm, where they are hoping to crown their very first Fish and Chip Eating Champion, who will gain the privilege of free fish and chips for a year in their restaurants.

Dubbed the International Fish and Chip Eating Contest, it will see contestants try and eat as much fish and chips as they can in just ten minutes, with the person who has eaten the most being crowned champion.

Quoted from Les Brechin

Anyone going in for this?

There must be one or two ex (recent) Town players that could give this a good go  

Stop press.......latest betting at Papa's:   J. Parkin 2/5
                                                                 M Rhead 4/5

It'll be an awesome sports bar. Freshney Place is quite a big site.

Likewise.Love the lower league games.Football how it use to be eg more about fan power than rich business investment flooding in which makes a mockery of what true sport should be about

Well......nice afternoon PSG.....good atmosphere, good beer and nice food. Well played sir.

Bumped into a few lost souls this afternoon in Meggies....quite funny considering i know most of them grumble about watching Town but we were all lost without a game to watch.  

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for coming. We were rammed and underestimated how busy it wouldn be so apologies if you had to wait or struggled for somewhere to sit / stand.

We got quite a few town fans in (plus a certain Dave Smith!) who would’ve otherwise have been at Mansfield.

Slightly longer than 20 mins to be fair 😎but on a positive most people seemed normal folk going about their business , one or two beggars but nothing out of the ordinary and other than having to do a marathon for a urine in spoons it wasn’t that bad of a experience.

Decided on a whim at 3pm Saturday to go to Sheffield for the night. Caught the bus to the Pier, passing Message in a Bottle en route, which looked rammed as we went past. Got a train to Sheffield, booked into the Travelodge, and was having a pint and a pizza at Craft and Dough in Kelham Island by 7pm. Then a bit of a tour round the pubs, which were mostly reet busy. Luckily, it was unseasonably warm and most folk were outside in the street, or in the beer gardens.

Woke up to heavy rain, so got the tram to Meadowhell for a bit of shopping and lunch. Ended up in Ikea after that looking at sofa's. Got back to the train station to find a replacement bus service from Sheffield to Scunny, which was a pain, but not a bad weekend all in all. Footy would have been easier on the wallet.  

I didn’t have a madras in the end. I had a chicken phall. Shouldn’t need to explain what I’ve been doing or where I’ve been all day today.

I did have a Madras on Saturday night. It was ok, but nowhere near as good as the Madras I had in Birmingham 4 weeks ago after the Shine On festival I attended, featuring Shed 7, Happy Mondays, Embrace, Cast and The Wedding Present.

Had a SriLankan curry in Macclesfield, really love them and so different to typical Indian.

Not tried one but would love to. Must get round to it.

Use the disabled one downstairs , just limp a bit

If anyone cares the Rugby (see OP) was a good experience all round - the highlight's, the ref radio - thought that was fantastic and he has so much respect from the players, even calling him 'Sir'! And the obvious highlight, sat drinking a beer in my seat!! They have got a lot of things right with the matchday experience and its very much more relaxed and family orientated, does at times make football seem like its stuck in the dark ages, sadly especially the BP experience.

I think the drinking in your seat part is outside the control of football clubs and the FA - isn't it illegal to drink alcohol in your seat at football?

The ref mike thing is a good idea. It'll force refs to discipline the players who harangue him, which in turn will change players' behaviour.
