You can see U7 and Under 8's at Irchester Rec on Saturday Morning, Under 9's & Under 10's at the OG's on Sunday morning, Under 11's at South End School on Sunday morning and Under 12's at Raunds Manor School on Sunday morning.
Entry is free and there are no prima donnas on show, at least not ON the pitch!
Was chatting to some people at Tamworth while we waited an hour and a half for them to get their second pre-Everton presser in two days under way on Wednesday. They were telling me they've been very impressed with Nabil Sharif. He's a part of their youth system but has started to break into the first team properly and make an impression.
Callum Reynolds is also starting to get his place back there after his loan spell at Corby.
Unfortunately Paul Hall wasn't at the conference.

You could have 140 years of no achievement, or twenty years of glorious victories, you decide.
Anyone doing anything tomorrow? I'm going to MK Dons v QPR (Dad's a QPR fan) in the FA Cup for my first game of the season. QPR were given 5,300 tickets by MK and have sold them all. Stadium:MK might be full for a game that isn't rugby.
Off to Steel Park today for Corby V AFC Halifax. Corby could potentially get their first league gate over 1000 in years today as Halifax are well supported away from home. It's also a big game for the Steelmen as their form in recent weeks has meant they've slipped away from the play-offs.
They say we've lost our money we're not famous anymore.....
Firstly, shame on you Rob for putting money into Franchise FC's coffers ;)
Secondly, may see you at Corby Raz, if I get all my visiting done in time (off to Buckinghamshire to see my mum now) thats my chosen game today - say hello if you see me, I'll be all on my lonesome today !!

Off to the same game pal in the QPR end. Havn't been to a match since St. Neots v AFC X1, starting to get withdrawl symptems!
Had to drive the misses to Nottingham today, as with the M1 closed she didn't fancy finding an alternative route :?
Watched Carlton Town v Newcastle Town in the Northern Premier League while there as a better alternative to shopping. About 15 minutes from the end the home side, losing 3-1, brought on Neil Grayson, remember him!! I said "bloody hell he's got to be 60", to which the woman standing next to me replied " no he's 47, and my husband". To be fair to Grayson he has obviously looked after himself, he scored 1 goal, almost grabbed an equallizer and looked, in that short time, a class above anyone else on the pitch. I can remember giving him a right load of abuse from the De Banke when he played for Cheltenham, how long ago was that? Late 90s? But I must say I gained a good bit of respect today for a guy who clearly loves the game.
