I enjoyed that.

I've always wanted to see BPA play hopefully will one day.
Did a lad called Jack Lewis play for Basford? He is on loan from Leicester and is a Thornton lad.

I couldn't honestly say as the announcer went through the teams but apart from Jake Daniels and James Hanson I wouldn't have known who was playing.
One thing I did learn was that Colby Bishop started in the Basford academy.

I couldn't stomach our match against Cambridge today even if we were to get the 3 points, so I visited a my second team Bradford Park Avenue who simply had to win to have any chance of avoiding relegation. Basford are just above the relegation zone and are the only team that can be caught .
Avenue miraculously won 2-1 in a match that was played like a cup tie from the 1st minute to the last.Jake Daniel's came on as a sub but never got into the game, whereas the other sub was James Hanson (remember him) who gave the Basford defence something to think about.
Anyway I was very surprised at the quality of both sides and started to compare some of the players on both sides.
The Bradford keeper Ellison a loan player only playing his second game.
He saved shots that were going into the top corner, he came for everything as the crosses rained in on the Bradford goal.
I don't know who his parent club is but we should be looking at this lad.
I have to admit though that Basford had 5 or 6 players that looked absolute class and were really fired up.
On any other day this could have been
Avenue 2 Basford 6
What an afternoon's entertainment.
What a change!
Sorry for the long post. (Still buzzing)
I had almost forgotten this feeling.

The keeper is Craig Ellison, 36 yrs old and was once on Crewe's books amongst many others. Never played above National League level but once had a trial at Flumenese!

Half a dozen, not many, but I wouldn't have gone to any more regardless of the football we were playing.

If people can't, don't want to, whatever, then that's their choice but advertising it as some kind of protest is utter bollocks.

So what you are saying is you can criticise other pool supporters for taking in a very important local game because I didn't fancy either the journey or the lackluster performance we are serving up at the present, and you have turned up for a mere half a dozen games and wouldn't have gone to any more even if we were playing like Brazil and were top of the league?
Weird or what.

I heard he was on loan from somebody?
I naturally thought he was a young keeper just starting out. He was absolutely brilliant though.
Think I need to go to Specsavers.

No, what I'm saying is I didn't miss games I otherwise would have attended as some kind of futile publicity stunt.

Were any of you lot around when Worthington or Hendry were in charge under Oyston ownership.
Top 8 finish was a dream then.
Some folk have short memories.

So we should just settle with being less shit than we used to be? It literally says 'Progress' on the club crest.
