From the Programme Editor
First of all I want to thank Mel and Chris for the grand job that they did talking on SFM radio to
Pete Flynn about the club and particularly the reforming of the supporters club. I thought they
did an excellent job, well done. The fantastic Woodstock chef, Phil was also on SFM that same
day talking about all things culinary, so all in all a great advert for Woodstock.
SFM gives us lots of publicity and so a big thank you to them.
I thought I would offer some news snippets from around the world for this programme starting
with news from Ghana! Apparently top flight football in Ghana is suffering because players are
indulging in too much loving, says a former boss of the national side.
Mark Jibar believes players are too tired to perform on the pitch due to the extra time spent in
the bedroom! “A lot of today’s players cannot play 90 minutes because they get so tired easily”
said Jibar. “And you know why? Because they
don’t sleep enough and don’t train enough and
they engage in too much sex. “There are beautiful
girls in Ghana and they wont leave them alone!!”
When Aston Villa manager Roberto Di Matteo was
sacked by Aston Villa Villa became embroiled in a
twitter spat with Virgin trains after a cheeky dig at
them.
Virgin Tweeted a picture of an empty carriage
along with the message “The next batch of potential
#AVFC managers have just left for Birmingham
New Street…”
Villas reply was cutting. “Would our managerial
candidates actually get here for interviews on time
if they arrived via @VirginTrains?” Virgin hit back
insisting they had more trains on time in the past
year than Villa had managed victories, before the
club listed all the trophies they’ve won and urged
the train line to ”get back in your quiet coach, “ 1-0
to the Villa? Virgin have now offered to settle things
out on the pitch, surely a game even Villa can’t
lose!! (Editors note: I like Virgin Trains ever since I
was able to buy a First Class ticket for £33 from
Rainham to Liverpool Lime Street for a trip in November!)
Now news from Argentina. A club has ben told to
rebuild their home ground after Google maps
showed the pitch was the wrong shape.
The Argentine Football association has closed down the Juan Antonio Arias stadium in the city
of San Justo as the grass did not form a rectangle!
Finally I have heard from Grant Wilbur who is now very involved with Hawkinge Town. He tells
me that he spotted some of our old players Brad Ashmore and Toby Ashmore playing for Deal
Community Sports and also Brett Smith, Richard Sinden, Adam Douglas and Charlie Belcher all
playing for Kings Hill.
