20 April 2007

Hiya guys! Durham Diary here, bringing you up to date with the news via this, the internet's number one independent Wrexham fanzine. The Dragons host already-relegated Torquay tomorrow while BUFC (Built Using Frequent Crime) are at home to Chester. It still looks very possible that relegation matters will be decided on the last day of the season when Boston and Wrexham meet at the Racecourse. Bury, who still aren't safe as the proverbial brick living buildings, travel to promoted Walsall, who unfortunately will probably still be chasing first place.

What, you want news about Grimsby? Why, what's the point?! Can't we just wait until August and see what His Royal Buckleyness has decreed from the manager's throne? If you really can't wait 'til then, I think the main thing you need to know is that the club is still encouraging young children to drink as much fizzy drink as they can, as there are only five days remaining! Even the usually enthusiastic, if severely under-punctuated, official site has given up bothering about the Mariners. The current poll is with regard to whether or not a fictitious character deserved to be incarcerated in an overrated long-running play on telly. If you don't know what I'm talking about, believe me, you don't need to find out.

The Grimsby Telegraph is nothing these days if not sensationalist, leading with the headline Wing Crisis Rocks Town. One must either presume the ever-popular 'Wing Crisis' held a gig in Grimsby which really got the town bouncing, or that Peters Till and Bore are struggling for fitness before a game that really doesn't matter. Maybe the OS should have a poll on which of the two stories you'd prefer. Power to the people!

Any students with nocturnal sleeping patterns may have caught Soccer Night on ITV1 last night, in which Mariners legend Peter Beagrie congratulated small local side Scunthorpe on their recent promotion whilst asserting that top scorer Billy Sharpe would be elsewhere next season. Sort it Buckley - he lives close, you know!

Which is all I can be bothered to write today, I'm afraid. If we had twelve points more or twelve points fewer I'd probably put a bit more effort in - same as the players, really. I'm playing cricket all weekend, but I'll be cheering on Wrexham with Wales in my mind and Danny Coyne in my heart. Oh, and good luck Chester!
