Idea for new Section

[Ruud]

Roy,

What about a Sports Section, as not everyone on here likes Sports, so if we had our own section for it all sporting topics could be discussed in there.

For example we call have a Football section to be discussed on all things United, Stanley, Burnley and Blackburn etc.

Also A grass roots section for all the people who ether play or have an interest in local events such as Saturday/Sunday Football, Dats and Dominoes leagues etc.

Just an idea

[lettie]

[smiley=idea.gif]   I think that's a good idea, it would hopefully keep any sporting related topics in one area. Applaud for that one Ruud.

Not forgetting that there is a very healthy Accrington Stanley forum at www.accringtonstanley.co.uk and why would an accrington board want to talk about blackburn or burnley teams? wouldn't that be insulting?

Otherwise an excellent idea for local sports.. park football, darts, pool and all the many other sports. Good idea ruud. I ahve a feeling Roy will go for it

[Dicer]

Any Accy darters around?

[Ruud]

Our pub has two datrs teams in Winter league, not a darter myself but a pool player

i think a grassroots section would be a great idea.

they have a grassroots pullout in the Lancashire Evening Telegraph on Tuesday which is very good and we could hopefully have one on similar lines.

do you read the grassroots pullout Ruud? i have a column in every month - the next one is due next week after our game at Foxhill.

[Roy]

will look into it tonight - just off to halifax now to watch the mighty reds!

What's a grassroots section? Something to do with gardening?

[Mik Dickinson]

all up for that and even though i am from Accy and follow the success of Accy Stanley still am a rovers supporter.would like to see the new section running

[adi]

have to agree with Mik there.

i follow the Stanley when i get the chance (my girlfriends dad goes all the time) but at heart i am a Rovers fan.

i think the grassroots section would be interesting Roy - i hope you can work your magic and come up with something!!

500 accy fans at halifax last night making a hell of a lot of noise.. 500 travelling fans.. not bad for accy

Talking of sport

> Following complaints made to the IRB about the All Blacks being allowed  
>to motivate themselves by performing the 'Haka' before their games, other  
>nations were asked to suggest pre-match rituals of their own. The IRB Rugby  
>World Cup 2003 Organising Committee has now agreed to the following  
>pre-match displays:  
>  
> 1. The England team will chat about the weather, wave hankies in

>invented the game and gave it to the world, and how it's not fair that  
>everyone still thinks New Zealand are the best team in the world.  
>  
> 2. The Scotland team will chant "You lookin' at me Jimmy?" before  
>smashing a bottle over their opponents' heads.  
>  
> 3. The Ireland team will split into two, with the Southern half  
>performing a Riverdance, while the Northerners march the Traditional route  
>from their dressing room to the pitch, via their opponent's dressing room.  
>  
> 4. Unfortunately the Committee were unable to accept the Welsh

> 5. Argentina will unexpectedly invade a small part of opposition  
>territory, claim it as their own "Las In-Goals-Areas" and then be forcibly  
>removed by the match stewards.  
>  
> 6. Two members of the South African team will claim to be more  
>important than the other 13 whom they will imprison between the posts whilst  
>they claim the rest of the pitch for themselves.  
>  
> 7. The Americans will not attend until almost full time. In future  
>years they will amend the records to show that they were in fact the most  
>important team in the tournament and Hollywood will make a film called  
>'Saving No.8 Lyle'.  
>  
> 8. Five of the Canadian team will sing La Marseillaise and hold the  
>rest of the team to ransom.  
>  
> 9. The Italian team will arrive in Armani gear, sexually harass the  
>female stewards and then run away.  
>  
> 10. The Spanish will sneak into the other half of the pitch, mow it and  
>then claim that it was all in line with European "grass quotas". They will  
>then curl up under the posts and have a kip until half time, when their  
>appeal for compensation against the UK Government will be heard.  
>  
> 11. The Japanese will attempt to strengthen their team by offering good  
>salaries to the key opposition players and then run around the pitch at high  
>speed in a highly efficient manner before buying the ground (with a subsidy  
>from the UK Government).  
>  
> 12. The French will declare they have new scientific evidence that the  
>opposition are in fact all mad. They will then park lorries across the  
>halfway line, let sheep loose in the opposition half (much to the delight of  
>Wales!) and burn the officials.  
>  
> 13. The Australians will have a barbie before negotiating lucrative  
>singing and TV contracts in the UK. They will then invite all their mates to  
>come and live with them in Shepherds Bush!
