8.00 pm. BBC 2. FA Cup 1st Round. WARRINGTON TOWN Vs EXETER CITY Live from the Latchford Bowl. 10 minute walk from the Cheese. God help those cider boys if they go to the Cheese for a beer after the game
RHC 3 football related threads in as many days I didn't know they played football in Warrington - it's rugby league territory isn't it?
Shocking isn't it! Although... he did manage to work the cheese into it somehow! Everyone knows Cheshire is the world's footballing mecca- so Warrington should win this 10-0.
The Warrington Cpt was part of the 2005 CL winning squad (squad is the important word, used by Rafa as filler)
Mannix was a youth England international at under 15/16, 17 and 20 levels and gained 15 caps in total. He scored his first international goal against Poland in a 5–0 victory on 22 November 2001. David was also part of the England team in the 2002 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship who reached the semi-final In Denmark and finished in 3rd place. Mannix is a product of Liverpool Football Club's Academy, and played regularly for the reserves, making over 60 appearances. Mannix was one of the youngest ever players to play for Liverpool reserves: he was 15 and was moved to train at Melwood with the first team aged 16.[4] His progress was restricted by a number of serious injuries, including an injury to his right knee in 2001. He was sent to the world renowned Dr Richard Steadman in Colorado, America who specialises in knee surgery. Under-18 Academy manager John Owens said: "At Under-15/Under-16 level David was such a shining light in central midfield. He is a very strong but gifted midfield player. But for his injuries he would be playing regularly for the reserves and making tremendous progress towards being the next Academy player through to the first team squad." [5] In November 2006 he went on loan to Accrington Stanley,[6] but after making a promising debut and being selected in the league 2 team of the week, a slight injury picked up in the game forced him to return after less than a week after just one appearance.[7] On 24 January 2007 it was announced that his contract with Liverpool had been terminated by mutual agreement,[8] and on 29 January he signed a three-year contract with the Norwegian club Ham-Kam,[9] who play in the Adeccoligaen having been relegated from the Tippeligaen (Norwegian premier league) during the 2006 season. On 7 April 2009 Mannix (and four other players) was charged with breaching the FA's rules on betting. He was accused of placing a bet of approximately £4000 on Accrington Stanley losing against Bury in the final game of the 2007/2008 season. He had until 23 April to respond to the charges.[15] On 22 July 2009 Mannix was given a 10 month ban and fined £4,000 for these betting offences.[16] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Mannix
Cantilever Park I believe due to the big cantilever bridge down the back of the stand over the Manchester Ship Canal. I expect some balls to end up there. This is surely a sinecure for BBC Sport since it's a straight punt down the M62 from Salford or indeed the Ship Canal.
Quote of the day from Robbie Savage "If you try to play football against Exeter, they will beat you". Within 2 minutes Warrington go one nil up
