No more updates

Just one more post -- the best of / worst of list.... then this blog will not be updated --- OK – here goes : and I am prepared to be shot at !!! 

BEST: 

Game : Sutton Tn AFC 4-3 Yorkshire Main – good old fashioned finger-biter……although Worksop 3-1 Frickley was not far behind.

Referee : Rob Rees / David Sullivan  

Food : Not too many occasions we had to buy food, but Gedling MW’s cheeseburger and chips were superb – fresh burgers, not the usual frozen ones. Alternative ? Any Pukka pie outlet!! 

Coffee/tea : Forest Town / Greenwood Meadows / my flask! 

Goal : 364 to choose from !! 

Cup : Ben Newman -- overhead kick for Pinxton v Sutton Tn AFC at Sth Normanton. 

League : has to be between Ben Greenhalgh’s great run, dribble and fierce drive for Sutton v Nettleham in April and Julian Topliss’ run and shot for Ollerton Tn at Bliworth in May. 

Raffle win: Bottle of Pinot Grigio at Carlton Tn 

Programme : Not an avid programme collector, but there are a few grounds where buying one is a must. 

1) Rainworth MW – editor Gordon Foster. 

2) Gedling MW – editor Tony Hay. 

However, the overall best programme must be Eastwood Town’s Andy Cope’s publication for the Notts F.A. Senior Cup final - £2, but superb!

  

 Best programme 

WORST : 

Game : Mansfield Town v York City or Worksop Tn v Eastwood – take your pick!

Coffee/tea : Rainworth MW and Gedling Town for quality, Calverton for quantity. 

Referee : Colin Barraclough 

Food : probably Mansfield’s pies – not too good, let me tell you. 

Programme : For value it has to be the Pinxton cup final effort at £1.50 for 4 pages

 

Worst value programme 

MISCELLANEOUS : 

Good feeling moments: 

1) Going back to Field Mill 

2) Seeing Tony Hay at Gedling MW after his recovery from a vicious knife attack. 

3) Blidworth W v Ollerton Town – great game in great company 

Funny moments : 

1) Rob Hornby getting his hat knocked off his head at Kimberley. 

2) Also at Kimberley – Brian Dennett struggling with his OXO after putting a little too much salt in it!!! 

Strange moments: 

1) Looking up from a game at Radcliffe to see a dark hooded figure looming close by – we thought the grim reaper had come for us….weird!!! 

2) Ilkeston v Eastwood – why that police helicopter at half-time????
