Dis is what the guardian wrote:
Parkinson, meanwhile, embarks on a fraught mission to revive Bolton Wanderers and is not the only encouraging arrival at the club. He has brought the striker Jamie Proctor with him from Bradford to add to an array of attackers that still includes – for now, at any rate – Zach Clough and Gary Madine. Marc Beevers is a handy defensive addition. The squad is probably to skimpy to go straight up automatically but a playoff place seems achievable with Parkinson.

TOO skimpy. TOO TOO TOOT.

The Guardian has something along these lines here:

We're judged to be play off potentials.

Also gets Beevers' forename wrong and describes Madine as an attacker. Ho ho.

Haha :D The reason I asked, which was after using said handy tool, is because I can't access sites associated with gambling and was looking for others. I didn't realise that I might have to explain ;).

Cheers. Some interesting stuff there, except the horribly cringeworthy bolton bit on the sport bible.

I didn't mind that - at least it had a tone. LoV reminds me a bit of White Love - not my cup of tea, but on balance I'd prefer it existing to there being a vacuum.

It's bare cringe as the kids would say.

Ghastly stuff. Dreadful website.

Off topic a bit, but does anyone know why Swindon Away on the 8th October is a 13:00 kick off?

All I can see is that there are internationals, but they kick off at 17:00.

Are we on the tellybox?

Nope, well, not yet. Sky have only announced three live L1 fixtures, on the weekend of the first international break - Posh-Swindon, Northampton-McDons, Gills-Blades. Interesting that our game at Swindon is on another international break but neither STFC, BWFC nor the Swindon Advertiser (always first with the news) give any reason for the KO change.

He was part of the Supporters Trust too when they were founded. Did the website and the twitter stuff

Probably nothing more than to give home fans the opportunity to attend their game and then watch the internationals on TV later. Woohoo!

Nothing worse than someone who spends hours on something, trying to make it look like they wrote it in 5 mins, and it still being obvious they spent ages.
