Having looked at the league table i noticed that the only zero in the whole grid was in the Gresley Rovers away draws column. Would be very nice if they could rectify that on monday......

Bigger straw would be to see a 7 in the away win column...........

What you've got to understand is that during our games with Coalville, form goes out of the window. It's one of two big local games we have in a season and there's more than a little bit of needle in it between fans, players & management, rightly or wrongly.

I'd love to see them choke again after last season, the ground is very poor, and I know ours isn't the best but it's got a character to it, last year we played there was hardly any hard standing. In our boxing day, there was lots of incident and a player from them was sent off, a guy who always gets into it when he plays against us. We'll be doing our best to wind him up again because he has a history of spitting his dummy out & that's something you must exploit.

Back on last years NY fixture, one of our club stalwarts had his jaw badly broken from their keeper when coming out for a through ball, it completely ruined our lads for a long time, was one of the nastiest injuries I've seen, albeit accidental & with them having an ex player of ours who had issues with a lot of the fans, then it just ramps it up. We'll be doing our utmost ;)

Excellent, are many Gresley fans likely to go to Coalville? You had quite a few come here to Halesowen but you spread yourselves about the ground.
