Apologies if this has been covered already and I know we had one not so long ago, but I would say a meet on Saturday, 31st July would be a great curtain raiser to the season starting the following weekend. How about aanother session at the Standard?
This is what will happen on refs for the final
The refs for all the play off semi-finals are as follows
Neale Barry
Graham Laws
Richard Beeby
Mark Clattenburg
Paul Taylor
Michael Jones
David Pugh
Graham Poll
Mike Pike
I think you will find the Nationwide have deemed these guys as the best...
These are from the Guardian last August ( a fine newspaper by the way ).
Div 1
1 West Brom
2 West Ham
3 Notts Forest
4 Wigan
5 Ipswich
6 Sheff Utd
4 out of 6 - not bad
Div 2
1 Sheff Wed
2 Rushden
3 QPR
4 Stockport
5 Brizzle City
6 Swindon
3 out of 6 - but Rushden?
Had Brighton to finish...
I know there has already been a thread on this today, but the Sky magazine has got the following times and days allocated - without saying which Division is being covered.

Sun 16th May at 15.30
Mon !7th May at 19.30
Tue 18th May at 19.30

I think you will be proved wrong Balloonboy
I think we would comfortably shift 30,000 tickets for the final at Cardiff. I am married with 4 virtually grown up kids and in 1991, all six of us went to Wembley ( cost me a fortune ); it was my eldest daughter's first and only live game she's ever...
Just to put the record straight
Danny Cullip Lookalike (aka Adrian Costello, No 16 ) scored two goals last night - the second a classical downward header from an excellent corner. He also rattled the woodwork and had a stonking good game, but thereagain I would say that.
Overall performance of...
It won't be Hartlepool because...
I think them and us will occupy the 5th and 6th slots but not sure in what order. The way I see it is we will probably be playing Swindon and I don't fancy that much.
Here's a novel suggestion...
Why don't you pick a team that's going to win the game - especially after the mauling we got last year.
And let's not go too much down the Eriksson route of multi substitutions in the second half.
Oh...and make sure you play DannyCullipLookalike.
I posted earlier this week about the match at Saltergate last Saturday and, for those that didn't read it, let me remind you :-
Chesterfield 4 Grimsby 4
Crowd 4,444
I taped the Nationwide League Goals last night and watched them when I got back from work tonight and noticed that the referee...
It's my birthday on Sunday as well
So it's going to be a pissy weekend all round. Two and a half hours in the Sportsman, hopefully be able to see the match and then out in HH with the family ( at least most of them ) and into the Rice and Spice....sounds good to me, but must steer away from...
I'm with you Chappers
He was crap - a latter day version of Richard Tiltman ( for those who remember his inept contributions ).
I've seen him at Stockport ( crap ) and Sheffield ( crap ) and my brother saw him at Port Vale, and he said that he was more concerned about how his hair looked when...
As mentioned on Five Live while driving back from Sheffield and with apologies if it's already been posted but last saturday this happened :-
Chesterfield 4 Grimsby 4
Crowd 4,444
Odds on that combination??
Quality newspaper
I've been reading it for about 30 years. I get a lot of stick at work on grounds that I support Labour etc...absolutely true and I'm totally immune to it.
that it's his fault that we lost.
" We should have got a point and the reason we didn't is much to do with me because I should have made a change."
Too right, and the change was to remove David Lee from the starting line up because he is plainly not good enough. If Piercey is fit, he is a...
Must disagree slightly Simon
David Lee was cack today and, although Cullip was sorely missed, I think Lee's penchant for losing possession and not being able to beat his man was a big factor in the defeat.
Also you didn't mention the fantastic right footed effort by Nathan towards the end that...
Being a bit of an old fart and remembering what NSC was like in its infancy ( when all people posted was about football ), why don't all these ridiculous polls disappear? Some of the topics people put up for polls are, frankly, ludicrous and belittle the system - and this, I gather, was the...
As clean and powerful strike as you could wish to see. As soon as that left his boot, you knew the keeper had no chance. I thought his contributions all night were good - given it was his first game...much better than Benjamin. Watch Soccer AM on Saturday cos that will deffo feature in the best...
