We should knock up a banner of that. It'll give Taz and co. something to do on the train.

Been looking for a Gambian flag to take along, not suprisingly they are a little hard to find!

Had the same idea Tomo as soon as I saw the piece. But ditched it for the same reasons! I'm sure the guys in Gambia will get a kick out of it though.

It seems it's been changed? Am I looking at the right bit?
'With League Two side Hereford lying 60 places above Sutton on the English football ladder, a win for the U's would certainly register as upset.'

Looks like they realised the mistake. Thought it might get pointed out eventually, so I took a PDF print of the original article for our friends in Gambia. It's attached here for those who missed it. Attachments:

I like the idea of a new nickname THE GAMBIANS I even have the basis of next season's kit:

I am chuffed... honestly. I phoned a few of my mates and we shared a joke or two and had a really good laugh especially me! Three years on and the BBC is already nick naming the team after us, who knows what next ;D ;D

Think we can get enough people together to persuade the Gambian government to change their flag to amber/choc?
