My "Licence to Snap" came through today - my Conference "accreditation" for the coming season - thanks to the efficient Keirina and the Football Conference admin crew down there in Birmingham.
Comforting to know that the "silly season" has started @ the non-league level with Fleetwood of the Blue Square North shelling out ... wait for it ... £17,000 for Barrow's Steve McNulty. Seventeen grand, viz four grand short of the total that could put Mossley into admin/liquid or some other "..ation" ... or the money earned for one morning's training session by Man City's Rocky Santa Claus ...
Seventeen Grand ? Looks a bit "porky" to me !!!
Another local club in trouble is Chadderton - left in the lurch by the so-called "moneybags" of Halliwell & Bhatti, they've been "helped out" by the council (who now own the lease on the ground - keep your eyes on this Mossley peeps - Seel Park could (if certain decisions are made) go back from the Mossley AFC Limited Company to Tameside Council - Seel Park Apartments would then return to the agenda .. just like in the "bad old days" of Lawlor & Fisher). Suffice to say, Chadderton are getting the usual help from the local populace - concrete fence panels demolished, stand seating wrecked - t*ssers ... they should really be playing chicken on Broadway - far more constructive - I'll get me car !!! Going back to the Newcastle Blue Star fiasco - that £61,000 debt is - according to Unibond League admin - nearer to £150,000 !!
Still waiting on the Hyde United situation - the "8 week extension" on their £200,000 "problem" will be up on 15th July (Hyde entertain Manchester City in a PSF on that very day !). And I have to be honest, still waiting for some info from Mossley - the £21,000 debt is out in the open - how it will be covered/go into administration/go into liquidation is still very much in the air ... although again this week Mossley get full back page honours in the local "freebie paper".
Noticed that what Smiffy snapped on Sunday (St John's Church with scaffolding), the "Manchester Evening News" get round to doing in this evening's edition ... slackers !!!
A weekend in the Yorkshire Dales awaits - with tent of course ... fingers crossed on weather ...
LATE 2330 EDIT ... has Michael Jackson died ?? Txts have flown in from my two eldest - the three of us went to see him at the Don Valley Stadium Sheffield back in 1997 ...we await an "official source" ...
0030 - Now sadly confirmed ...............................

Curzon fans can justifiably be upset over this Smiffy.
