Ray Woods- (The) Ray Woods (Road in Nuneaton)

I watched the first series and really enjoyed it. It does give an insight into the running of a football club, also the amount of money that they have had sloshing around. I loved the song that went with the first series too. Not written specifically for the programme but was written by a...

I always felt that there was a bit of extra 'dig' in Cyrille's challenges after he announced he was a Christian. It was as if he was saying 'I may be Christian, but I'm not soft'.

That was such an underhand thing to do, sack him when he was ill. Employing Butcher was always going to be risky. Why should a great player be a great manager? If they really wanted him to come in, surely he could have been Sillett’s assistant to the end of the season when I think John intended...

I think it would depend what you mean by modern. I think Ron Farmer is the best, certainly since the war. I think Gary MacAlister also only missed one for us?

I don't remember him either. Was going to look him up on Wikipedia

Just watched the game, Deloumoux, Warnock, Joachim all looked good. However, I think this year's team is better and would beat that team. If I was picking 11 from the two teams then: I would keep this seasons keeper, play all of the back three plus Dabo. I would put Warnock in for McCallum...

Good, sensible ideas I thought.Seems like a good bloke.

I wouldn't want to trust the outcome of the season on so called experts. I have always felt that we as a club are under valued and that the likes of Sunderland and Portsmouth would be portrayed more favourably and that this might sway results in their favour because of their name and in spite...

Really liked ‘When the Boat Come In’.

I wonder if this will concentrate minds a little bit. The stadium and associated parts with little or no income, hotel, exhibition halls with no clients, the casino feeling the pinch and perhaps wanting a relaxation of rent. The overheads of keeping all of the stadium areas going. Maybe the lure...

For me Walsh has been player of the season. Goal of the season would be Biamou's at Peterborough. Away performance I think could be the one at Wycombe, our first away win, their first home defeat and a real statement of intent for us, or the 3-3 draw at Portsmouth. I didn't know this at the...

What is the situation with Rugby Union? Are their leagues suspended or is the season over? Could really hit Wasps hard hopefully. Not sure about Cov?

He had a really good two years, played with and against some very good players. He also played at some good venues including Lilleshall, Telford Utd and Hendesford Town. The latter two grounds would certainly be league standard. The two main highlights would have been playing at the Bescot...

Nuneaton did have joint Youth and MJPL teams, the former playing mid week (home games at Liberty Way) the latter playing Saturday mornings (home games at Griff and Coton). My son's second and last season with the youth team was the season you mention. It ended under a cloud due to allegations of...

This is true. My son played for Nuneaton Schools but as he progressed up the age groups more and more of his team mates opted to play MJPL on Saturday mornings. The district team in his final year of playing was considerably weaker than when he started. He played MJPL when the district team...

Great book too.

Showing your age. I was a Woodentops fan myself.

I'm not sure how it was lucky, typical Wycombe goal. The ball fell to Akinfenwa and he put it away well. Disagree about his performance in the first half. Again, typical Akinfenwa, half football, half wrestling but we were under pressure until the third goal went in The fourth, so early in the...
