Some very sad news about Mr Kempster -obviously very well know for his excllent website- he will be freezing the site at the end of this season due to his ill health.

I've used the site like many others for a few years now and have been following his Cancer battle since last year, sadly his Liver isn't responding to treatment now and he seemingly has only 6 months or so to live.

It would be a fitting tribute to the man if his site could be kept going in his memory as some other posters on his forum are trying to organise.

My best wishes to Tony and his family

But what TK does is just light years away from my puny efforts! Dunno how he does it. I hope he pulls through. True NL legend.

scorpioeyes: I predicted a relegation struggle with a totally inexperienced manager. Hope I am wrong, but it doesn't look like it. MG is out of his depth,that's obvious. Sept 3, 2019 22:59:54 GMT

ggl: So are we now saying we have a manager who is not in favour of bringing in loan players and if the board decided to part company with him they cannot afford to do so ? Oct 23, 2019 8:21:42 GMT

historyboy: Sad to hear of the passing of Eddie Cack, I remember him well. I think that the said photograph publishsed by the club, of him sitting next to Dave Hermitage, isn't him at all; I think the picture shows Micky Goodall. Compare other pictures of both. Oct 24, 2019 17:27:34 GMT
