I'm starting this thread again because it seems to have been a casualty of the change over to the new site. The Terriers scecured another away win last night at Burton. Two wins in a row now after a barren spell. It'll all go pear shaped on Friday when we go to Norwich because the game is to be televised , we haven't won on the telly for ages.

Posted on 14/04/2018 19:29 by KeithandMargaretGather round me young and old
A tragic tale I will unfold
A tale that's known to you and me
A tale of Chesterfield FC.
For years it's been our one ambitionTo see them in a higher division
But now, alas, our hopes are low
They're at the bottom, and rightly so
For hours and hours in pouring rainWe watch and pray but all in vain
Same old story, same old tale
Open goals and shots that fail.
Oh, Chesterfield, give up the ghostPlough up the field, saw down the post
Take down the flags, pull down the Stand
And let us cultivate the land
Then let us all with one accordOn bended knees implore the Lord
Prepare the pitch up there in Heaven
And sacrifice the whole eleven.

So Sad a Tale, K & M !! 
I remember those years in the 50's, before automatic relegation became the norm, when Crewe Alex went so very regularly, on bended knees to implore anybody who would listen that they were worthy of staying in the League, Division Three North !!
Re-election was, for Crewe & a few other sides, rather like the annual visit to Prestatyn by train, for a holiday in one of those chalet thingies modelled on up market WW 2 prison of war camps !! Oh yes I remember them well.
Just go thro the non-league tables & see those that never made it back, like Bradford PA, Southport etc etc.
But As Roger Papgeno keeps telling me -- " Have faith "

Fizz in the fridge, flag in the window!
Who'd have thought it!
And congrats to The Wolves on their promotion.
Think I'll take the flag down in the morning or the parish council will accuse me of lowering the tone of the village 😱

Who would have thought it? After denying their arch-rivals a week ago, United hand the title to City!
"Funny old game, Saint"
Congratulations to Man City, probably the most deserved winners of the Premiership ever.
Looking forward to seeing how Derek Dougan's old side get on next season too 🏆

And don't you take too much for granted JonRay !!
I think you've got Yeovil this week and, even tho' they are not doingtoo well, they did thrash Coventry by 6 and that was away as well.
"Uneasy Lies The Crown" well at least 'til the Trophy's in the display case
