My local non-league side Rushall Olympic came so close to winning the Evo-Stik ground make over competition after a bizarre influx of voting from Swansea City fans. A prize of £10000 was up for grabs. The eventual winner were Chasetown (backed by Swansea's rivals Cardiff City), a team with £0.5m worth of ground improvements already approved. Its such a shame that the money has gone to a club where £10000 will make such little difference, £10000 to Rushall Olympic would've been massive.
Following last night's replay we now know that Charlton will face Luton Town at home in the 2nd Round of the FA Cup, lets hope for a good result there and an exciting money spinning tie in the 3rd Round. Although i dont miss the Premier League days as such, i do feel the sense of a complete lack of occasion at The Valley these days.
At West Brom we're gearing up for the home game against perrennial bogey side Stoke City and the news that Chris Brunt is now injured is less than welcome. It is Olsson however, whom i feel is the greatest loss to the Baggies side at the moment. I find it as little coincidence that his injury has coincided with the Baggies dip in form. The return of Jara however, from suspension will no doubt be a welcome boost going into Saturday.
Finally Jay Bothroyd made his debut for England yesterday in the drab game against France, if Bothroyd is the future of English football, winning the 2018 world cup bid might be our only hope of qualifying for the competition.!
