[Keswick_Krumble]

I guarantee it. He offered to play for us for free this season until he was talked out of it by some of the coaching staff.

A fantastic player. I've got no way of knowing whether your statement is true The Heathens, but wasn't the big problem in him leaving City last year with his wages? I heard in an interview, the man himself say that he couldn't take a pay cut because he had committed financially to causes in Africa and that people were relying on him. Now maybe that was only for a set period which has now ended because otherwise it would make his offer to play for free an even more curious one.

A bit of a dire match at Dagenham yesterday but a wins a win and 2 points clear at the top. Another win next Saturday and i might contemplate a day trip to Torquay in a fortnight

More than likely but not until 14th Jan. The way things are going there, a City/Park Aveneue derby might only be a couple of years away. They could be saved this year because of the situation at Plymouth and because Hereford are even more shite than Bradford. Despite the dire position they are in, City brought 1600 to the Globe Arena a couple of weeks ago

4,300 at the Globe Arena last night for the JPT derby against the Nobenders. Two down after 20 minutes, got it back to two all only to lose 7-6 on penalties. It all turned a bit nasty at the end with a pitch invasion by the Preston fans, objects being thrown then a rather unpleasent walk home trying to avoid the gangs of lads from both sides looking for a rumble.

Back to the more friendly atmosphere of Division 2 on Saturday with a 3rd v 4th clash against AFC Wimbledon

....and Alex Ferguson says he left Rooney out of Man Utd team today because he is "devastated" by his England Euro 2012 suspension."

B*llocks, he's left him out because he wants his best players fresh against us next Sunday as Baconface knows that match is bigger than todays match no matter what he says.

Sounds like there was some fun at the Lancaster City - Halifax Town FA Cup Qualifier this afternoon. Crowd trouble after Halifax scored in the 3rd minute caused the match to be held up for half an hour
