[Costanza]

Mullings is huge.

[Red Frog]

Did we establish who the big black guy is?

Anyone going to the WBA game on Saturday? If England are contesting the pointless 3rd spot play off game will the KO time change?

[Batch]

Can't see it changing for a 3rd place game.

I'm off to RIAT, just thought I'd mention it as out of towners heading Ciren way may wish to think about their route home. Though flying finishes at 6 so it may not be THAT bad.

I was going, but the LM signing has thrown a spanner in that works.

Bet their FB page went into meltdown!

Rolls Royce 0 Notts County 17

Well that must have been a bit of a pointless exercise

[suttonred]

Rolls Royce probably put out a phantom side.

Ghosting in at the far post?

I recon Rolls Royce put out a side made up of owners of Rolls Royce cars.

Described here as a "ruthless win" I would guess that Swindon U16 schoolboys could have put 10 past them.

I can only imagine the spirit of ecstasy that greeted the heroic County players.

[Flashheart]

It's quite a legacy they're leaving behind.

Doubt it, Swindon Schools only have u11, u13 and u15 sides   County FA do an U16s though!

Swindon Schools under 16's used to be pretty strong nationally.... reached the final of schools tournament in 69 and 84.  This was when Swindon could be considered a football town, and the local council was Labour run and used to put in tidy sums into secondary schools.

I've been in big crowds for schoolboy matches at the CG for quarter/semi finals etc
