Royston appoint new manager

[Rhodes]

Yes but 'the great one' has come to expect that at Kentish Town and it's par for the course for him, a bit like Tony Galvin at Royston. If truth be known he probably much prefers to be a big fish in a small pond as although he shuns the limelight he is still quite flattered by the recognition and press publicity he continually gets.

[Jonno]

blah blah blah...

A report on Royston Town v Bedford from Royston's local rag:

Does anyone know anything about recent Royston signing Ashley Townsend:

[NeutralFan]

Yes....

 

Ashley was part of a successful Buntingford youth setup and he played a number of games for the first team before a productive move to Arlesey in October 2006.

 

He's got an eye for goal in and around the box, he's strong on the ball, has a lovely touch, and is generally an all-round natural striker.

 

[Special1]

One of his goals!

Saturday 10th March 2007

AFC Hornchurch 2-2 Arlesey Town

Ryman League Division One North

- 8mins. The visitors take the lead through Ashley Townsend

[Mcmullen]

A good report always is in this paper, hard to relive though!!!!

 

Oh and Willo no offense taken, update: gonna try the lemon one

[Rhodes]

McMullen - I received the Bedford team sheet for our programme tomorrow and was surprised to see that it just had one name down on the Coaching staff which I assume was yourself, are you chief cook and bottle washer then like Special1 is at Sport London e Benfica and is it only ever you and the substitutes in the dugout.

There should be a case of Orange powder in their somewhere as well!

PS I prefer the Lemon. Haha, mix it too strong and the players come off at half time with their eyes bulging!

Why don’t you try mixing them both together and adding Cola – only for comedy value thought.

Interesting you should say that, last week and this i have been on my own as my chairman is heavyweight boxer Matt Skelton's manager and my assistant one of his trainers(cardio/boxing). You may or may not know that Matt is fighting in Dusseldorf tomorrow night for the WBA Heavyweight championship of the world

Matts a good friend of the club and i hope i speak on behalf of the forum in wishing him all the best, COM'ON MATT BRING THE BELT HOME.

Incidently i will be gutted if the game is off i could have gone!!

A great find by Kevin Sanders. I wish our Commonwealth champ Matt all the best, but a tough test no doubt.

There will be dancing in the streets of Bedford

By the way, you know the game will be off just to spite you!

Sounds like you have a bit of boxing knowledge Wader and this is my other sporting passion, had the pleasure of being at Calzaghe v Kessler at the Millenium Stadium and going down to Haye v Macranelli in March.

save your money...haye in 2

if skelton lasts more than 4 hes done well

[Mcmullen]

No doubting that Matt has a big task Chagaev is decent but i back him in 7. I will take the other as a joke the welshman ouzes class and hits with more power than i have seen, Haye just doesn't impress as much as he thinks he does.

Not so much now. I was around the amateur circuit some years back. My subscription to Boxing News lapsed a long while ago, but I still keep in touch with it all. Interesting that Skelton was never an amateur and entered the thing at about 30? He was a kick boxer before that if I remember rightly.

Bludy good luck to him.

[Mcmullen]

Nearer 35 actually, yes a very successful one in the far east, won pretty much everything so turned to a new challenge, thats why his style is as it is 1. No boxing background and 2. Getting close should it be a kick boxing ring the knees would be used with good effect, he basically wants to beat his opponent up rather than out box him, he knows his strengths and fair play to rise to the top of another discipline, doesn't deserve the stick.

fair play to him going the distance

[Wader]

A points loss against the Uzbekistanian is a great feat. I'd be interested to get your views McMullen after speaking to Loui. How close was it?
