As an out-and-out rock fan in the early 70s, this iconic number from a different tradition was something i could relate to. Sly, founder member of the band, has just passed
Had almost forgotten... but the first (single) test has started against Zimbabwe
Very much a warm up for what's to come: India, albeit without Kohli, which itself will be seen as a warm up for what could be the defining tour of Ben Stokes career as captain
England 59-0
(T'other cricket thread could be reserved for Lancs)
Will be interesting to see how things progress from here. You'd think there's as much cash there as Wrexham have had at their disposal, but infrastructure would need to change
On the other side of the Irwell from Manchester, the city of Salford is becoming a thriving place in its own right so a ground move closer to the city might be in order, which could itself add to the surrounding infrastructure in terms of leisure facilities if a big enough brownfield site can be found
As he left the pitch to very warm applause yesterday, no doubt he'd have had the Wembley Arch in his mind's eye
Even more than those left on the pitch, even more than the manager, even more than the fans, he'll be gutted at missing out on a Wembley cup final appearance
The one remaining hope is a playoff final, but it's looking a very long shot at the moment, and we don't do long shots
So it's a third semi-final under Southgate, against the Dutch
I thought we were marginally better today with the 3 CBs (brought about by Guehi's suspension) allowing greater flexibility but there must be a lot of tired (and injured) bodies after two lots of extra time
We've mainly got though via the odd moment of individual brilliance without looking particularly cohesive let alone fluent, but the FGs must've decided to smile on us for a change. No questioning the team spirit in a "circling the wagons" kind of way
A great opportunity for someone and fresh input at Dale, but the salary of around £30k looks at the bottom end of 'low side' to me, in comparison with the responsibilities. (I'm thinking of roles within the major organisation in which i worked which were at that level with less responsibility)
Obviously, we're in a period of reviewing all expenditure. Anyone know what comparable salaries are at clubs at our level? Also, would that be the starting salary with annual increments? If not, it'd be granting experience to someone whose eyes will always be looking elsewhere to increase their income
Email received from the club which suggests an early shift in gear under the Ogdens
For the first time (i can recall) technology being used to confirm and update contact details and preferences. (My only change was to update the country i lived in, which was recorded in my address as "USA")
First day of the season, and 4* out of 9 matches due to start have their first day abandoned without a ball being bowled; 2 others delayed until late afternoon
With the opening of this new facility on what was becoming a moribund area of the town centre, it'd be great to see the club extend its community-focused outreach to places such as this by creating mutually beneficial links
Having this venture advertise the club (and vice versa) and even provide membership discounts to games at the COA should imo be exactly the type of thing we should pursue under new ownership. It could act as Dale's focal point in the town centre
At the moment, the gym has links with Man U, and the two Liverpool clubs. There's an opportunity to change that by establishing a relationship with Dale
No reason this shouldn't pass through parliament relatively quickly. Can't see there'd be any incentive for anyone to oppose it or to seek major changes in the proposal - not in an election year
I understand the due diligence process with WSH is taking this becoming law into account, since the chances are it could be applied retrospectively in terms of the licensing of club ownership
Almost exactly half a century ago to the day, Dale conceded 5 at home in a cup tie to another team beginning with G from the eastern side of England. Those of a certain age will remember it
Walking away from the ground that day, it felt like the lights had gone out on Dale, but after years of struggle and perseverance, we came good again
I've no idea whether we'll see another 50 years at Spotland. There's a similar feeling right now, but we survived against the odds then, and we may do now
It took another 25 years before we took a proper upward turn. The period between 1999 (the arrival of Steve Parkin) and 2019 (the amazing night at Old Trafford) were, in the main, tremendous and well worth waiting for, since it seemed highly unlikely we'd ever see anything like it. Different times now; football is different. Dale deserve a future, and its fans deserve a club we can once more feel proud of
Starts tomorrow, against our 'old rivals' (in ODI terms) New Zealand
There's talk about it maybe being the last 50-over tournament, or at least marking a curtailment of the number of full-day ODIs being played, so a lot riding on us to retain the trophy and of course India will be desperate to get their hands on it on home turf
As far as i'm concerned, it comes as a welcome sporting relief from Dale
After last night's forum, i'm wondering who might've changed their position - a change of heart maybe? Either way, might be useful to erm... gauge opinion
I'll set the ball rolling. Before the forum i was a definite No. I'm no longer a definite, but haven't quite moved to a Yes. Going to take some time to think and see what else transpires over the coming days
Bournemouth have just been boo'ed off the pitch at half time, a Premier League club who'll probably survive another season playing way above the level that their fanbase might allow
Spurs fans started leaving St. James Park after 10 minutes, 0-3 at that stage. They're fifth in the Premier League
