Dagenham & Redbridge’s Ground Gets a Very Long Name

Nick — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 18:15:19 +0000

As if the name of the club wasn’t enough of a mouthful, they’ll be enjoying their brand new league status while playing at the ‘The London Borough of Barking and Dagenham Stadium’.

I’m a bit puzzled as to why a local council would see fit to sponsor a stadium.

If your unhappy with your garbage service, it’s not as if you can switch to another council.

MK Dons Continue to Get No Respect

Nick — Fri, 08 Jun 2007 04:50:42 +0000

The Milton Keynes Dons (aka Franchise FC) are a unique club. For those unfamiliar with the story, the MK Dons actually used to be Wimbledon Football Club. The very same Wimbledon that beat Liverpool in the 1988 FA Cup Final in one of the biggest upsets in the history of the competition.

Sixteen rather more unsuccessful years later, after being purchased by music promoter Pete Winkelman — the unusual/tragic decision was made to move the club to Milton Keynes. 62 miles from their South London home. As you’d expect this upset quite a few people who’d followed Wimbledon their entire lives. The mood was generally happier in Milton Keynes.

Three years after the move, there is still lingering bitterness towards the Dons. The brilliant publication When Saturday Comes still refuses to mention the club by name.

So news that Watford have scheduled a pre-season fixture against Milton Keynes has predictably and understandably gone down like a lead balloon with Hornets fans.

Chester City Squad Warned to Mind Their Waistlines

Nick — Wed, 06 Jun 2007 21:30:56 +0000

Any Chester players looking to enjoy a few fry ups while on their Summer break have been warned by the club’s new manager Bobby Williamson about over doing it on the consumption of fatty foods:

“Their body fat content and weights were all taken before they left and if there’s any discrepancy in that, if there’s anybody who comes back overweight or not in the shape they should be, then they’ll find out the hard way”.

No word yet on what the hard way is likely to be.
