They've got a Waffa Cup game on the Thursday.
Such a shame we couldn't organise a Battle Hill Carnival and have the police insist the game had to remain on the Saturday.
Sound as owt when I went to his keeper coaching classes as a 10-year-old.
He might've changed in the 16 years since but he was really encouraging and seemed to put a bit of thought into what he was teaching, not just lumping balls at us for the sake of it.
EDIT: his son Ben was also in our academy when he was here under SBR, too. Anyone know what ever became of him?
They're being all small-time again.

His best mate is in on the act anarl, copying the quotes. However, in traditional style he's still providing moments of mirth.
Whose mutual consent?
Still keen to point out he's a Geordie, and unwilling to state that he's our ex/former head coach...
Should've gone to South America if we were insistent on going that far, tbf.
Potential to build a link with another club or two and some of our players might have actually learnt something.
Just seen the score. Regardless of owt else, what the fuck was with that lineup? A back three of Bigi, Satka and Ferguson?!
We were on a hiding to nothing.
