Give Sally Gunnell my regards if she makes an appearance, her two sons Finlay & Marley Bigg often turn out for Varndeanians, and she goes along to support them. A very personable and modest lady, invited her into the boardroom for half time hospitality at Gorings Mead when she visited, but...

Indeed, probably a case of him being at thight club but sadly not at the right time. Been so many examples of that over the years.

Going off piste somewhat, is the Castle Inn still a Chinese restaurant? or did that close some years ago never to reopen?

Silky hair and equally silky ball skills. A very good player for us, albeit not quite a great one. Far too good to be lost to football for ever.

Yep as did l many times, The Costa special coach used to pick me up across the road outside the Castle, and drop me off when l travelled away back in the day.

For sure! The same can be said for most of the players too really, they take part because they love to play football and have a jar and a natter with thike mates after the game. In the most part they are paid very little. Some of them are actually very good players, but because they all have...

Glad to see you are planning a visit to see us at Gorings Mead next month!

Whatever happened to Dad's Army?

That building burned down in the 1990's, wasn't even in Torquay, or even a hotel, but a retirement home in Bucks.

Well quite, l had to put up with staring at it on a celeb edition of The Weakest Link recently. Fortunately he was voted off quite early on. His wife Frankie made it nearly to the end though, she was much easier on the eye. Intelligent for a WAG too.

I've never had an issue with my android phone either, there again l don't have my season ticket on it. I rely on my good tried and tested old fashioned season ticket card. Remember those?

I kind of get where the OP is coming from actually, playing kit, training kit, teeshirts, hoodies, pyjamas, kids will demand EVERYTHING with the seagull motif on it, especially if they see their heroes wearing it. The mere fact that their parents can't afford to buy it will mean nothing to them.

A Fawlty Towers v. Only Fools final shirley? I wouldn't want to pick a winner though.

Well l sure hope he will be, it would be good to see him bow out in style.

Just an observation, albeit an obvious one, there were nine games scheduled to be played in the SCFL last night, six of them were postponed due to frozen pitches. Only three went ahead and all were played on 3G. Prood if proof were needs that 3G has to be the future for the non league game.

Amazing stats at first glance, but is that really saying a great deal when you look at the standard of most of the opposition in the Eredivsie?

A very fair chance that Tin Pot, l mean Reading, will end up in League Two next season anyway, with or without their current owner!

Welcome to the non-league football scene! Yep seconded, we have the same set up at Horsham YMCA too.

Ricky Gervais is a cocky so and so and he makes me cringe. #teamblackadder here.
