Club fines imposed on players by their team mates
for a variety of “offences” is not a new idea. Notts 3rd
XI of the Eighties used to collect fines for all sorts of on the pitch
misdemeanours and then use the kitty to pay for a curry night at the
end of the season. This year’s 1st XI seem to have taken the idea one step further and are now in all out "fine warfare" with players being fined for all sorts of petty on and off field infringements. Arriving late after the allotted meeting time is a standard £1 team fine, or in the case of young Richard Shaw a standard £61 fine as he was so determined not be late that he got caught speeding on the way to the meeting place! The £60 fine was bad enough, but he was still late and STILL had to pay the £1 fine. First team Captain has told his troops that the money from the fines will go into a fund to pay for a trip to Blackpool. With £40 being collected in one Saturday alone, it is estimated that at the present rate of growth, the trip will probably be upgraded to Las Vegas. |

Beware the curse of the 'Man-of-the-Match' award. Certainly in the First XI. Players have noticed a disturbingly familiar trend in team selection recently. Whoever gets the dreaded 'MOM' gets dropped the following week! |

Understandable that people might have difficulty prouncing some
team names, but what excuse could |

Trust Andy Newham to keep the fanzine in print!
Firstly he informs us that the female members of his family have the
'hots' for Burford Primary School’s Lounge Lizard and football
coaching sensation, Henry Overton. Then he lets slip that he is taking
his bird for a Saturday away on the 23rd without telling her there’s
no game for him. She thinks he’s being thoughtful and generous,
giving up his priceless Saturday afternoon just for her! Now she knows different, Andy. Better hide this copy, quick!! |

At least Andy’s better at deception than he
is at picking Blotto numbers.
"What numbers do you want, Andy?" "56" (Laughter) "63" (hysterics) "I don’t know, I’ve never done the lottery before." |

Well done to Second Team Keeper John Colclough for
keeping his teammates amused before the Twos game against Racing
Athletic recently as he parked his motor neatly on the grass verge,
straight into a post!
