    Always remembering that this is full-time squad. Many in the league aren’t!

    Good to see the injured players making a comeback, but with games every Saturday and Tuesday for the next couple of weeks the coaches are going to have to manage things carefully.

    You know, it’s not the football league any more, most of us just pay on the gate….

    Yes, this is one to bear in mind. We’ve always been able to pay on the gate at Spennymoor, Blyth, the Heed or wherever.

    In fact I can’t decide whether to pre-order tickets for Blyth or wait till we get there!

    Any club at this level turning away punters because they haven’t got tickets in advance is cutting it’s own throat!

    according to some reports, a few players are not puuting a lot of effort into their performances.

    The way the players celebrated after the Brackley win would suggest otherwise

    We’ve actually got four strikers.

    One is on loan at Southport!

    Dean said he doesn’t want to come back as he wanted to be back down south so he’s as good as gone.

    He’s at Southport, not Southend!

    Unless Lancashire is south of Lincolnshire?

    Calum McIntyre, the Chester manager is only 30.

    He never played League Football and his only previous managerial role was at Runcorn Linnets.

    Experience is no guarantee of success.

    Remember Keith Hill?

    23.9% swing to Labour in Tamworth!

    That’s virtually unheard of.

    Perhaps, but they are unknown to us today.

    Tolstoy’s War & Peace references a number of historical events, but it still remains just a story.

    Correct 50p. The authors of all four Gospels are unknown.

    Additionally there are dozens of other gospels known as Apocryphal Gospels that were written during the early years of the Christian Church.

    The Bible is a reliable collection of historical documents that were written by eyewitnesses during the lifetime of eyewitnesses,who reported on supernatural events that took place to fulfil specific prophecies,and they claim they were divine in nature and not of human origin.

    No it isn’t.

    Your New English Bible is a modern rewording of the King James Bible. That was completed in 1611 and was the work of just 8 ministers belonging to the C of E.

    There were (and still are) no original texts to translate. The oldest manuscripts were written down centuries after the supposed death of Jesus Christ. There are over 8,000 in existence and no two are alike.

    None of these were used by the King James translators who just reworded the RC Latin text altering passages so they would be approved by King and Parliament. The changes made run to hundreds of thousands.

    So here in the 21st century you believe that the “Word of God” is a book edited in the 17th century from 16th century translations of 8,000 contradictory copies of 4th century scrolls that claim to be copies of lost letters written in the 1st century?

    You may call it faith. I call it stupidity

    Good luck with that 50p!

    I also look forward to Professor Brian Cox presenting the “modern evidence” in a new BBC TV series.

    But away supporters are not getting more information are they? Hence the OP.

    Just rumours being bandied about like we’ve been experiencing all year.

    We currently have the museum of the moon in Hexham Abbey. It’s a 6m diameter replica of the moon suspended above the crossing. Put together from NASA satellite images. Pretty spectacular!

    We went there to a lecture given by photographer and astronomer Wil Cheung on the formation of the solar system and the moon.

    As we went in we in we were given a leaflet on the Abbey which included a prayer: “Oh God who formed the moon and created all life on Earth……..”

    The irony of attending a lecture on cosmology in a building erected by creationists was not lost on me.

    PS Also went to see a Pink Floyd tribute band doing Dark Side beneath the instillation. That was pretty cool too!

    “To echo your thoughts? What exactly are your thoughts? “
    My thoughts are in UNISON with the video. To write on here the same message would be impossible.

    Hope you not sitting any written exams in the near future!

    Spot on Heathy, and that is “faith” in a nutshell.

    The believer has to take his/her thoughts from an external source, be it the Bible, Q’ran or YouTube videos.

    we are only just over a week away from what should be our next home game, which will have to be played somewhere.

    Or postponed and rearranged at a later date.

    Was at a freezing cold Victoria Park yesterday to watch our next opponents do a smash and grab job on Pools.

    Chester won 2-0 with a breakaway goal in each half, but if they had 35% possession that’s generous.

    They’ve got a well organised defence with two tall CBS (Williams & Burke) who win everything in the air, and their CF Charlie Caton is very quick and has an excellent first touch.

    Elliot Whitehouse scored their first. He’s still jogging along in midfield but does the break up of play bit well.

    The good news for us was that a couple of players hobbled off with injuries late on, whereas we’ve had a fortnight to rest up.

    They are beatable but we’ll have to play through them. Lumping balls up to Whitehall and Bennett won’t work on yesterday’s showing.

    As I ended my working life lecturing on architectural history I could fill you in on the building of churches and cathedrals, but that’s a separate topic.

    Suffice to say he who holds the money controls the architect.

    The “cathedrals” of the 19th century were railway terminals. Nowadays it’s airports and sports stadia.

    All depends on what/who are the current gods to be worshipped!
