Nooooo! That would be really tacky IMO, especially for the UCL.

Don't think a star on the badge for winning the Uefa Champions League is tacky!

Good job less people listen to you than they do me.

No idea what made me do this but the number of times the opposition have ended a match scoring once is 18 (UCL Premier only). Well over half of our matches played.

I must be bored

(The Thurnby and Holbeach maximum totals reflect the possible result of the game between the two teams (Thurnby Win / draw / Holbeach win). There is also a game between Wisbech and Holbeach to be taken into account.

Holbeach may have patched things up a bit after their spell where it looked like they might lose to anyone. This might be good news if it means they can threaten Wisbech on Easter Monday.

By the time we next play a league game (against Long Buckby on April 6th), Holbeach will have played their two games in hand, which means we could actually be promoted on Saturday 4th April without kicking a ball although that would require two Holbeach defeats against Deeping and Sileby.

Wisbech V Holbeach is on April 6th, so i'm starting to think it's highly likely we'll get things sewn up on that day. It'll be nice to do it at home!

If Holbeach do win their two games in hand, Easter Monday could be one of those days for checking texts / twitter as well as watching the Long Buckby game. Its worth noting that Thurnby's game against Oadby that day is a 1pm kick off, so will be over by 3pm.

sussexdiamond it was the 21st October, are 5-1 win over AFC Kempston Rovers did it.

4 wins out if 5 games will do it, see us as champions,

I agree that it would be nice to win the league at home, (but just have a feeling will win the league at Sileby) on the pitch, on the pitch.
