Goodbye Durham

2009-08-02T10:44:00.002+01:00

Time to pack up and move out
just been up the street and Wetherspoons is shut and full of Police and Forensic teams, what have they done..........

Cant get pics of the wee camera just now but the term brokeback mountain springs to mind when thinking of one players pose

Herdy last spotted with a sausage supper and all his clothes on
still there was time yet...................

Now Davie Baikie lets have the Scottish Cup and League please and we can then do it
all again next year.............Benidorm Anyone!!!!!

Good Samaritans

2009-08-01T18:09:00.002+01:00

2009-08-01T15:11:00.002+01:00

Ref not endearing himself to Bufty Boots: "There's 2 teams here ya cheat!!" Rose look the part though.

Jeez

2009-08-01T15:06:00.002+01:00

We're in the Durham equivalent of darkest Africa ... broadband my arse!!! So apologies if this becomes a bit slow.

Early pressure all from Rose - Manson's pace is giving them the fear.
Poor crowd - last night was much noisier (that was probably the drink talking though).

Here we go

2009-08-01T15:01:00.001+01:00

The players look fit ... the supporteres are a mix of hung over and gassed!!
