How's your footy team doing?

9 am tomorrow morning - 2021/22 fixtures are released.  Got to have something to look forward to, eh? 

Pliers,    Will singing , if that's indeed what it is, be allowed in public places by then ??

Well Town got their first pre- season friendly out of the way yesterday. A 1-0 win over the Sulphites aka Harrogate Town.

I only mentioned their nickname because someone had clearly told the commentator this at half time, he must have woven it into his commentary umpteen times in the second half.

I watched the match on Town’s YouTube channel. For a one camera coverage it was ok, although if they’re going to do this again they could do with getting the camera a bit higher. It’s ages since I watched a match from touch line level, it just shows how you get spoiled watching from high up in the stand

Reliably informed that the Crewe  v Wolves friendly went off satisfactorily with Wolves displaying their higher division status quite clearly  { But t'Alex won one ~ nil   as was only fair 'cos we let 'em use the porage pitch   }

Unfortunately the Alex won’t be coming to town as I previously mentioned. The friendly match was due to be played on 31st July but Town’s Carabao cup match v the Owls has been moved forward to the 1st August.

Here’s the thing. Last season Town were awarded four penalties all season and they contrived to miss all four without troubling the keeper, two hit the woodwork and two missed completely.

Yesterday at the Wendy House they put away all four that they were required to take, couple that with our new keeper saving two of the four he faced and Town win on penalties at Hillsborough again😀

Hmmmm,  Not the worst start to the season being kind to the newcomers !

T'alex off to 'Artlepool tomorrow for the EFL Cup whatever THAT may be    ~~ suppose it's just another way of balancing  the various divisions Carbon Footy prints

Typical Town. I thought Derby were there for the taking on Saturday and what happens, four players plus the manager test positive for COVID and we scrape a draw😡

well Done Alex,  winning 1 -- 0  and away from home with only ten men  for most of the game
