Diary - Monday 7 April 2003

7 April 2003

If, like the Diary, you get dead riled by teams like Bradford and Sheffield Wednesday racking up squillions of pounds of debt and still being able to sign players, buy referees and beat Town, then you'll love the ace new beat-the-cheats idea from Mr Furneaux and the board. At a Football League meeting later this month Town officials will propose that clubs who fall into administration or receivership be docked 10 points. "Why should a small club like ours pay its debts and expect to compete while others are paying just 10p in the £1?" says the chairman, in the Grimsby Telegraph. "Why should those clubs that try to pay their debts be disadvantaged and why should those who don't be allowed to prosper?" More power to you, Pete. The Diary trusts entirely that if the motion is carried then it won't come back to haunt you one day.

There could be trouble at the back for Town as the team prepares to take on Wolves tomorrow night at Blundell Park. Central defenders Simon Ford and Georges Santos are both of questionable fitness for the game, reports BBC Humber Sport, following injuries sustained in the weekend defeat at Leicester.

Speaking of which, I'm still getting the headaches, but I can see all right now. Does anyone know what it might be? I can't be arsed to go to the doctor with it. Email your diagnosis to codalmightydiary@yahoo.co.uk.
