The program on BBC about my local non league club is worth a watch.I'd imagine it's the same story as many non league teams.......It's on BBC iplayer.....just search for Ashington.

Just £19.99.............f off! It might be Just £19.99 to Top and his mates,but to some of the proper fans it's putting a meal on the table.King Power are so out of touch!

Yes.....went right downhill after Steamin Billy left,just the normal Everards stuff on tap.

Don't care.....it's just annoying.

Yeah i get that....but it is just weird,like he's trying to look clever in an Alan Partridge way!

If Matterface says Cote Du Voir again,i'm going to lose my shit! It's Ivory Coast for us English speaking people!

It's a shame what's happened to The Western......used to be a pool table and dart board at the side room and a big screen to watch the early kick off before going to our game.I think they tried to make it a bit too upmarket with the coffee shop type of thing and alieanated a few regulars(me included!)I think the 2 women on the door counting people in and out was the last straw for me(I'm sure they were the same 2 at the Peel) It was definately better when it was tied to Steaming Billy.

The cynic in me says there must be a 3rd division Burmese team who use this pattern and Adidas have just dyed it blue and stuck a sticker on the inside of the neck.I find it hard to believe that they have knocked this up just for us!

The cynic in me would say thats the case!

This might be a decent watch for people into non league.. next friday at 7pm on BBC1 my local club (now!) are on the Telle! BBC One - Our Lives, Series 10, Ashington AFC_ Saving Our Club, _It's more than a football club... it's the anchor of the town_.html

Used to be alot different in the 80's.I lived at the bottom of Groby Road and a walk into town involved The Robin Hood,The Friar Tuck,Cricketers,Foresters,North Bridge Tavern,Earl of Cumberland.Sanvey Gate Tavern,Joiners and The Ship.........and that was before you got to The Long Stop near the Clock Tower!

The Western was allways the one i used to go in,until i was counted in by the new owners.......never went back! Back in the day it was The Turney.

Doubt the new LCFC shirt will be like the non leauge club i follow's shirt........but who knows! If it is they are £37.00 for Ashington!

Free entry to Trent Bridge tommorow,if any one's near.

yeah.....it's a bearable 20c up here on the North East coast.Had to do a delivery to North Yorkshire this afternoon and it was 32c there........only about 75 miles away but inland.

That made me laugh way more than it should!

I think it's another one we have managed to coach the spontinaety out of.......first few games good,then seemed to be taking lessons off Stephy about not taking men on.I'm sure with better players and coaches he will reach his full potential.

If you can get the away kit without King Power,then i'm in..... otherwise don't know.

Ashington away (Too Forest for me) so won't be getting it and a Limited Edition for when they made the 3rd round of the FA cup in 1926 (losing to Forrest) which i am getting!

Exactly.......i used to go down to Filbo with my dad in the 70's (When he didn't get roped in to work on a Saturday Afternoon!)It was all just go to a game if you felt like it.......Jumpers for Goal Posts and all that.....but it was better for fans!

If i still lived in Leicester a ST is a no brainer compared to pay on the gate.......I had one for 20 odd years until 3 seasons ago and if i'd have had to pay on the gate i really couldn't afford the prices!

Wasn't keen on his politics at the time,but seemed a decent bloke.....RIP.

Good overview here
