what game did you go to? was it enjoyable game? any standout players who could make the step up to the championship or higher? 

I went to Crewe v Bromley as my granddaughter is ticking off new grounds and it was a first for her. Bromley deserved their win and the really interesting aspect for me was that Crewe were one dimensional and tried to play out from the back but Bromley were far more pragmatic and did what they had to do without taking and unnecessary risks. I was impressed by Bromley's Arthurs and Krauhaus who was a dead ringer for Todd Cantwell in looks, gait and playing style.

We met a Rovers legend on Bolton station and travelled down with him reminiscing about bygone days. He was also on the train back so we chatted again but more about the game today at Crewe.

Erstwhile U21 goal-getter here, Jack Vale, signed for Northampton, managed by Kevin Nolan. Interesting to see if he can stay fit and score some goals. Though, doesn't look likely to me as he struggled for goals in every loan spell he went on - but he may surprise. I hope he does.

Tyler Magloire was there before but released. He had a brutal knee injury that kept him out for over a year, ruptured ACL, MCL and torn meniscus. I read he is being looked at by Grimsby who have Zak Gilsenan.

The lad is made out of biscuits or something,, injured again

Shame for him

I would gone to Stanley today but instead we all going out for family meal. 

I fully understand your point and its valid one. Tho I have watched Blackpool and Salford City when on

So i take you will be off to watch a game of football today? 

So you would have gone to a game but instead you did something else instead of going to a game, sounds like you never really were going to a game at all!

So what game did you go to then?

[Mattyblue]

To be fair he has to fit all family engagements into international breaks as he certainly wouldn’t be missing QPR at home for one.

[London blue]

It'll be normalised pretty soon.

It really is the long death of locally supported teams.

[chaddyrovers]

 

Good luck to Jack there

 

[London blue]

Not to be a mardy prick, but why good luck? 

Good luck to every manager who picks up a new role and if/when they get fired I wish relegation upon their respective club.

Yeah I dont get why such an appointment would provoke a response of anything but total ambivalence.

Never played for Rovers either or has any affiliation. odd one.

[chaddyrovers]

Not everything is about Rovers. He is young English coach and he has took his first move in management so I hope he does well there and develop into a good one

It's alright, they'll plant three trees to carbon offset it all. Though of course, that doesn't apply to us proles. Sell your car and catch the bus, you selfish peasant.

FCUM have refused to get involved in the NPL's decision to change kick off times to suit live broadcasting. Their reasoning for me is absolutely correct.

 

[Rogerb]

Getting gates of 1600+ at tier 7 level they are an exception which explains decision to opt out. On a personal note if Bamber Bridge mess with the 3pm kick off on a Saturday I won't be bothering. Think this is an awful decision to change kick off times for streaming. Hope large numbers of clubs opt out.
