Don't think you can teach an old dog new tricks Gazza, not that I am suggesting that you are a dog though you understand. Ha Ha Woof!

My plans to go to the game have been scuppered by the boss. We're now going for a family trip to The Deep at Hull. For those who haven't been, there are lots of big fish in small tanks/ponds. There's a joke full of pathos in there somewhere.
It's a shame because Guiseley isn't far off my daily commute (a 95 sodding miles round trip).
Anyway, I'll be relying on Radio Macc for the updates (thanks in advance). My last prediciton was hopeless, so I will abstain this time. If we manage to keep 11 players on the pitch, we should have a good chance.
I just hope there is a decent signal under the sea in Hull.

No worries, Eppers - Radio Macc will be broadcasting... subject to a clear run across the Pennines after Macc Junior's morning game has finished!

Will They Come Back to Haunt Us - Part 2.
I have just been reminded that Craig Hobson now plies his trade at Guiseley. What's the betting he puts away tomorrow the sort of chance that he had the habit of missing, on a frustratingly regular basis, whilst at EP?!
Also - a tad after the event, as I forgot to mention it on the night - another former Hatter, John Disney, played in defence against us at Hednesford. Nice article about him in their programme, too. He didn't really make the breakthrough from the youth ranks in SK3, but seems to be doing well for The Pitmen.

craig hobson will curl or volley one in, like he did once, again someone, for us. then he'll go back to being useless again.
oli johnson is a 'never-was'. could well score though.

the deep's a pretty good alternative, epworth. i could watch the sharks in that vertical tank for a good while.

The Sea Life centre in Blackers used to be good, sharks lying across that glass tunnel, amazing.
Is that still there?

a_r_s I work in lovely Leeds, Seacroft to be precise. I just drive into a Business Park and out again. If I'm feeling brave I venture out to Tescos (or The Village of the Damned, as we call it). I'm actually looking forward to The Deep. If it sounds like a dire game on Radio Macc maybe I'll provide exciting swordfish and clownfish updates: 'Err remarkable. The swordfish has taken out the shark with a scything tackle from behind.' 'And it's in the back of the net. Son, give me the net. They don't let you catch the fish here. Let me explain, officer...'
Have fun at the game or wherever you are following it.

Morning, Macc. It's been raining overnight and there is very light drizzle at the mo. I'm a bit further south than Guiseley, but we aren't due heavy rain and it should clear up this afternoon. A bit like County, probably best described as 'patchy'. I wouldn't be surprised if the pitch is soft, heavy in places. With a decent groundsman I don't think there has been enough rain to call the game off...
