They struggle to get a crowd of 300, they get about an hour and a half of sunshine a year and the only time it stops raining is when it's going to snow.
Ya cannie understand half of what they say and their main rivals are a team called Hill of Beath Hawthorn FC. No, seriously, that's their bitter rivals!
If you were a yank with too much money, why wouldn't you buy a club:
a) nearer to home.
b) somewhere warmer
c) somewhere where they spoke English
d) somewhere where the prematch entertainment consisted of more than watching a dog take a dump in the centre circle.
In the US, college American Football gets crowds of +40,000, so what's the attraction of Kelty Hearts?
....and finally, why would you need a consortium to aford it? Have they each chipped in a fiver or have they paid through the nose for it (hopefully the latter)?
If there's any Americans reading that are desparate for a little slice of cute little Great Britland, I have some old bone china cups and saucers, pre-loved baked bean cans, and a roll of toilet paper that's only been used on one side, you can have the lot for £250,000. I'll even spend half an hour speaking Mockney to you, just for authenticity.
Seriously, what the chuff is going on in the UK? Is there no one left in the country with a few quid? (Apart from betting firm owners). The vultures are down to the bones now.
The Russians have pulled the strings of leading Tories and Nigel Manfrog for years and we jump everytime America blinks, I guess it's only a matter of time before old jug ears turns up for trooping of the colour with a waistcoat stating 'Sponsored by Emirates'.
Let's hope it's got some legs. Those Brazilian lads are in for a treat when they see Essex girls! Far better than anything they see back home!
If RC is not content with the money that an Englishman can offer, and we have to be the play thing of a bunch of foreigners, I would much rather it be from an emerging country like Brazil, than a bunch of backstabbing US bastards that forget who their friends are.
Late for two world wars, they're hell bent on starting the next one.
I see the tractor girls are violating the Community Stadium again today and (OK the spelling is wrong but…) I notice they have a player called J. Dear.
Here’s hoping they’ll sign a Mandy Fergusson and a Nancy Holland.
Anyone remember this shocker from 1982, by Clare Grogan of ‘Happy Brithday’ and Gregory’s Girl fame?
On that theme, I can recommend the film Song Sung Blue that’s out at the moment, it’s quite pleasant entertainment, base on a true story about a Neil Diamond tribute act.
Last night Forest managed to score an own goal, get someone sent-off and miss a penalty, whilst losing 1-0 away to Braga. They are probably on their way out of Europe and they have a delightful owner that spits at match officials. The travelling Forest fans couldn’t even get some relief in the way of winter sun, because the weather there is atrocious at the moment.
The game was played in the amazing Estádio Municipal de Braga, which is well worth Googling. It’s only got two stands, but what they lack in numbers, they make up for in style. Behind the goal at one end is a massive rock face with a huge scoreboard perched on top. The two opposing stands look to have enormous canvas roofs that are held up by wires that cross above the pitch. It’s known locally as ‘The Quarry’ and it’s quite something.
