How is this for annoying; I've not been able to get away from work this evening to get to Bromley's Trophy replay tonight. First game I've missed this season, but replays are always tricky with just a few days notice. Anyway not only is this the first game I've not been able to get to all season, it is also the first game where we haven't had an internet update service running so I've not got a clue what is happening. Talk about sods law.

Check this out, how cool would it be to have a Tex bobble head?

I know the Barrow fans site does similar, and they also hook up a radio with the commentary to a phoneline so you can call up and listen to it.

bababui · 11-08-2006, 04:23 PM

Arent these matches on the radio??

AM radio signals should carry fairly well at night. Can you receive the Barrow matches in Cheltenham?

Most local radio is on FM here, so no is the answer.
If it's on BBC local radio you can get it on the BBC website though, although obviously you have to be on the internet all the time.

On Thursday, November 23, you should get to actually watch a couple of NFL games live. Its Thanksgiving here and the first game should start about 5:30 your time.

I’m a wordsmith by trade and as a freelancer the one thing you have to do is be reliable otherwise you don’t get work.

I have seen it, yes.
Odd that it makes no mention of the club's former league history, but it does mention that the club nearly went bust in the late 90s.

And I love that the chairman thinks they would be challenging for promotion if it wasn't for the FA Cup run. That's must be why they've only won a total of four league games all season.

That one you would need someone stateside to get it for you.

http://cgi.ebay.com/MARK-TEIXEIRA-BO...QQcmdZViewItem

This one though is different but they ship worldwide

http://cgi.ebay.com/Mark-Teixeira-Te...QQcmdZViewItem

These are all the Tex products on ebay that are either in England or ship to England (most stateside but will ship to England) they have a nice game used jersey card for under a fiver inc p&p.

Are Cheltenham on tv tomorrow night ? Only FA Cup game on and they usually show one on a Friday night.

Is Barrow a 3rd world country?

No, there aren't any games on TV tomorrow night.

It's in fact been moved from Saturday because we have a horse racing meeting on Saturday and Sunday, and the police won't staff both.
