If we win is the final the week after?

Maybe, when are you available?

Diskin has left the club I think - I'm pretty sure I read on the club website that his last game was the last academy game

Very true, FA.

One thing I will say is that it is much easier to guess the crowd in an all seater stadium, where the stand capacities are known, than in a standing area where crowd density makes it very difficult to make any kind of estimate.

Ha ha, just trying to gauge when it is





Got my boy next couple of Saturdays so will be able to make the semi and final if its next couple of weeks. Although might have to sample hospitality again was in there for the Halifax game as a friend of mine does the entertainment was a good afternoon

I would certainly be swapping out Charnock for Keyes. And I think there's a case for maybe starting with Oakes and putting Mellor on the bench

Didn't we once have a stand-off back in the day .. Gascoigne or something. Are we saving him for the Final?

That ship has long sailed... never see him in any of the pre-match training videos either!

To be honest, with the size of our squad I'm pushed to see who's there and who isn't, not much room to see how the grass is growing either.

yes, the Final Mass Exodus team, he's captain, tasked with leading the team away from the pitch.

Yes we did. A lad called Gaskill - sponsored by Vanish products UK.

It's a real shame with Gaskell. He's gone from being a bit of a hero with our fans for staying with us when we got relegated and then winning Championship Player of the Year, to now being generally quite disliked for this "I don't want to play and risk being injured for Huddersfield" rubbish. Sad that he'll probably (and justifiably) be remembered for that, rather than the good stuff.
