So this Saturday we have a break from our busy league programme as we head up to Scotland for our inaugural tie in the Irn Bru/Scottish Challenge Cup.
Our tie at Airdrie is one of much intrigue and I look forward to hearing some of the stories from those of you heading up as I sadly won’t be making it myself.
It will be interesting to see what kind of squad travels, though Dos gave some clues yesterday with the likes of Bolarinwa, Cadogan, Ayunga and Worner all likely to feature.
Safe travels to all going. C’mon the U’s!!

I’ll happily share stories if I can actually remember anything after a night out in Glasgow.

Apart from the fact that we won the Anglo-Italian cup and are the only English club to have done so. |

The BBC's coverage of non-league football is the biggest joke of them all.

When the match reports come up on the BBC website they are always taken from the Associated Press. Not that great whatsoever but I just liked that article to be honest. Just thought I'd share it. Nice to see that the tournament and Sutton playing in it has been recognised. Even if they didn't mention the fact Sutton are the only English club to win the Anglo-Italian Cup  |

The BBC's coverage of non-league football is the biggest joke of them all. the website coverage is not great - granted. But their local radio commentaries are excellent. No one in broadcasting terms has covered the non-league games for longer than the bbc and every week you get live commentary on NL matches. I started that way in 2000. Hopefully BT sport stay interested for some time. |

BBC Surrey cover Aldershot despite them not being in Surrey in any fashion (Please don't start the Surrey/London debate again). BBC London have so many other teams that they couldn't give a damn about us |
