    The Spanish 3rd Division commences today.
    Spain is 4 times larger than England, so there are two leagues of 20 teams.
    ‘My’ Hércules are in group 2.
    At the last count, we’d sold 11,000 season tickets.
    Attendance tonight – hopefully 20,000.
    Hércules 2-0 Ceuta
    Att: 20,002
    Mucha suerte a los blanquiazules.

    Great shout Rene!

    Nice wager Rene
    Before a ball was kicked i had Buxton down as one of my surprise packages this year as well as Scarboro .. fancy both to be there or there abouts come the end of the season.

    They all blobbed today.
    Scunny & S’boro the only undefeated teams now.

    Cruel FA. Probably cause another mental breakdown. All he ever wanted to do was make his family proud and leave a legacy. Nobody understands him.

    A legacy, a legacy – my Rolls for a legacy!

    Sneaked the fee up to £9.99 which is pretty outrageous for 1 camera coverage and often no commentary.

    Same price as last season.

    9 games before they lost their first fixture last season. They then met us in the FA Cup.
    It looks like we are weaker on the pitch this season?
    The 3H’s will have an affect on the result – heat, humidity, hard pitch.
    Expecting a drab opening game.
    Brackley 1-0 Scunthorpe
    0-0 at half time.

    As a kid there was nothing better than having your own program and then getting as many signatures of both sets of players as you could.

    Great move.

    The program at my Spanish club consists of 16 pages and is free.
    It carries an editorial, tables, club fixtures, week & weekend league fixtures, year to date results of all the teams in the league (grid), the opposition (the club & players), Herculanos (fans) Around The World, Herculean Heredity (games, managers, players, trophies etc), Blue & White Legends (more modern history, 1970s to now), Guest Writers (ex players & managers), U19s section, U16s section, the History Files.

    Not bad for nowt!

    Buxton each way (top 3 finish)

    £72.50 back if they finish second or third.

    A seasons entertainment for less than the cost of one Indian meal at the local Punjabi Palace.

    Average age of departures is 27.
    Average age of arrivals is 21.

    A 24 man squad.

    What was so special about Beckham apart from his me me me attitude in wanting to be in the papers for no apparent reason

    His right foot.
    No left foot, couldn’t head, no pace, couldn’t tackle, but magic right foot.

    Take a look at him playing CM for the greatest ever team… Real Madrid.

    2024-25 … 2024-25 … 2024-25

    I’d like to be the first to congratulate Manchester City on winning this seasons (2024-25) Premier League title.

    After finishing as champions in six of the last seven seasons – it was so predictable!

    Didn’t play a single game in 2023-24… unless they haven’t updated his profile.

    1 goal every 5 games at level 7 the season before.

    Not for me!
