I WILL WRITE A NUMBER OF EMERGENCY ON PLANET EARTH BLOGS THROUGHOUT THE TORY SPONSORED CORONAVIRUS CRISIS. What follows is a random collection of thoughts from a human being trapped in 21st Century British society. *** It appears that the Covid-19 crisis is rearing its ugly head once again, so I thought I had better […]

This week’s programme review comes from Canon League Division 4 and Chesterfield’s encounter with York City at Saltergate.  This 16 page issue cost 40p, but this basic production is rather advert-heavy and “manager’s notes” are conspicuous by their absence.   Page 2 of this programme, launches straight into a news-round feature – we learned about

After the first round of matches, the Canon League barely paused for breath as just two days later there was a limited programme of matches in the top two tiers of the Football League.  The results can be found in another blog, but for now I will focus on the programme for the match at

After the opening day of the season, a limited number of games were played on Bank Holiday Monday after a mere two day break.  The results of the day probably came at St. James’ Park where Shrewsbury Town beat Newcastle United 0-1.  In Division One, Nottingham Forest beat Manchester United at Old Trafford by the
