Err think we are at cross purposes here. You intimated ctwd put in for the banner?? i think. I said i didnt want any group to put in, i said this weeks ago too. Olm has now said ctwd didnt put in. So i dont know which group has put inb but i would like to. I dont care who it is, I dont think that was the spirit of the original idea. I dont give a **** what ctwd or any other group think of us putting together for a banner in support of the team. This was and is all about individual choice!!! So get back in line kempton
I'm a CTWD member. I put money toward the flags, therefore CTWD put money in ? Everything's about individual choice isn't it ?
The total collected (minus the paypal charges) was £492.56 The Bruce Banner cost £325 Which leaves £167.56 for the new banner. I'll be transferring £170 to mauled1904 today ready for him to produce the next banner. Well done and thanks to all involved.
Chazz. On the original thread CTWD offered to donate £50. We (the OSC) offered to match that. I don't know about other groups. Happy and some others moaned about CTWD contributing which led to a vote on here where I think the majority voted in favour of going ahead without CTWDs support, which presumably is why they didn't donate in the end.
The original book written by Cobb Morley goes on show. http://www.thefa.com/news/2013/aug/fa-minute-book-display-british-library-210813 Original FA minute book from 1863 unveiled at the British Library The original FA minute book has officially gone on display at the British Library in central London. Compiled in 1863 and valued at £2.5m, the book forms the centrepiece of the British Library’s first-ever football display. Speaking about the exhibit, FA Chairman Greg Dyke said: “The importance of the 1863 FA minute book cannot be underestimated. “Without it, quite simply, the world would be without its most popular sport so it is fitting that the book is going on display in the Sir John Ritblat Treasures Gallery at the British Library. “This not only reflects how football has become interwoven into the fabric of our society, it also offers the public a glimpse into the origins of the nation’s favourite game.” Handwritten and compiled 150 years ago by Ebenezer Cobb Morley, the book contains the 13 original laws of football – and goes on display in the Sir John Ritblat Treasures Gallery alongside some of the world’s most significant books including the Magna Carta, Shakespeare’s First Folio and Captain Scott’s diary. Jude England, Head of Social Sciences at The British Library said: "This is a really exciting day in the life of the library as we've accepted into our treasures gallery the minute book which founds The FA and sets out the laws of the game of football." The FA formed on 26th October 1863 at the Freemasons’ Tavern in London with the aim of creating a single set of regulations for playing the game. It is the most significant book in the history of football, now played and watched by billions across the world.
Yep but its also a curiosity and has been dun dun duhhhhhh "changed" This is my own views and has no bearing on any other threads name changes etc etc etc 13 original Laws. 1 The maximum length of the ground shall be 200 yards, the maximum breadth shall be 100 yards, the length and breadth shall be marked off with flags; and the goal shall be defined by two upright posts, 8 yards apart, without any tape or bar across them. 2. The winners of the toss shall have choice of goals. The game shall be commenced by a place kick from the centre of the ground by the side losing the toss; the other side shall not approach within ten yards of the ball until it is kicked off. 3. After a goal is won the losing side shall kick off and goals shall be changed. 4. A goal shall be won when the ball passes between the goal-posts or over the space between the goal-posts (at whatever height), not being thrown, knocked on, or carried. 5. When the ball is in touch the first player who touches it shall throw it from the point on the boundary line where it left the ground, in a direction at right angles with the boundary line, and it shall not be in play until it has touched the ground. 6. When a player has kicked the ball any one of the same side who is nearer to the opponent’s goal line is out of play and may not touch the ball himself nor in any way whatever prevent any other player from doing so until the ball has been played; but no player is out of play when the ball is kicked from behind the goal line. 7. In case the ball goes behind the goal line, if a player on the side to whom the goal belongs first touches the ball, one of his side shall be entitled to a free kick from the goal line at the point opposite the place where the ball shall be touched. If a player of the opposite side first touches the ball, one of his side shall be entitled to a free kick (but at the goal only) from a point 15 yards from the goal line opposite the place where the ball is touched. The opposing side shall stand behind their goal line until he has had his kick. 8. If a player makes a fair catch he shall be entitled to a free kick, provided he claims it by making a mark with his heel at once; and in order to take such kick he may go as far back as he pleases, and no player on the opposite side shall advance beyond his mark until he has kicked. 9. No player shall carry the ball. 10. Neither tripping nor hacking shall be allowed, and no player shall use his hands to hold or push an adversary. 11. A player shall not be allowed to throw the ball or pass it to another. 12. No player shall be allowed to take the ball from the ground with his hands while it is in play under any pretence whatever. 13. No player shall wear projecting nails, iron plates, or gutta percha on the soles or heels of his boots.
