Isn't Dave Frecklington manager there?
Yes
Isn't Dave Frecklington manager there?
No, Frecklington is signing for next season. Although he'll probably be injured by then.Are Frickley playing games now?
Frickley Athletic is about 6 or 7 miles from me. In 20-odd years, I've never yet thought of popping in to see a game.
When I first moved to London I went to watch Barnet vs Rochdale, sat in the away end. It was the last season at Underhill so I wanted to see it before they moved. A very strange experience not having an actual interest in who won. I ended up rooting for 'dale as Barnet were flying high under Davids at the time and I sided with the underdog/northerners. Can't remember what the result was but it wasn't a great game. Best bit about it was riding the Northern Line all the way to the end at High Barnet.I know plenty of people do, but I don't really watch other teams.

Moving to the dark side of the Midlands has given me the chance to go to non-Lincoln games, though the last one was about 7 years ago now when I went to see Porto play a pre-season at West Brom.
It's quite nice to watch a game without caring who wins, and has given me the chance to see some really good players like Dennis Bergkamp, Luca Modric and Christiano Ronaldo in 'the flesh'.
‘It's been five weeks since the gaffer came in and the change of play has changed for the better of the club and the players.
‘It's a lot better than kicking it, trying to get second balls, this and that. Every manager is different throughout the country but we've got a good manager who wants to play.’
I remember going to see Chelsea v Portsmouth morning kick-off and then on to Southend v Lincoln at 3. Have a feeling it was Boxing DayWhen a student then working in Liverpool, I used to go to Anfield a few times a season (Keegan, Dalglish eras) , and Goodison occasionally too (McKenzie, Gray).
Saw some great games, and some duds. Quietly cheered Mick Harford's first goal for Birmingham, I had to be discrete for my own well being as I was on the Kop at the time.
Once saw Liverpool play Arsenal one evening then Imps home v Carlisle next, the latter much more enjoyable!
