8two: My Mother's brother, who joined the merchant navy as a 14 year old in 1915 and later worked at Staveley Works and lived in Barrow Hill. Uncle Frank 'what do they make at Staveley Works?' 'Old men and pig iron' was the response. His team was Chesterfield.

8two: Wasn't aware of that Steve. That small tank engine could have been a Staveley Works one as they had their own locos and track. As an 8 or 9 year old I had a ride in the cab of one.

ickle2: News from the presser is that Ogbene (hamstring - likely to be a few weeks) and Osho (managing bone bruising) are out - Andersen is back training on grass now.
Joe Johnson, Pelly, Doughty and Mengi are all fit and available Mar 28, 2024 13:56:31 GMT

proudhattersince74: "Andersen is back training on grass now". Given the way that our luck (or lack thereof) is going, I may need to smoke some grass before the next three away matches. I guess the presser was before Kabore and Hashioka had returned from long haul flights.
