Tomorrow's another Deva United play Chester tomorrow more in hope than with confidence, and it is no exaggeration to suggest that it is the league side who could be considered underdogs. Chester are unbeaten in sixteen games since September whilst United, in stark contrast, are not. A few changes are anticipated from the side that  [ more ]

Well well, Wells not well ended Les Wells is seeking leave for a Judicial Review in a bid to either scupper the leisure and stadium development or possibly to receive some kind of deal from Firoz Kassam in order to make him go away. The possible Judicial Review is into the granting of detailed planning  [ more ]

Open and shut meeting United supporters packed the Social Club at the Manor tonight for the FOUL open meeting, attended by Firoz Kassam, Joe Kinnear and David Kemp.

Mickey's a City boy Mickey Lewis's new job is as Assistant Manager to Paul Lee at Oxford City. Lewis is also registered as a player, but he won't feature in tonight's game against Folkestone Invicta as his registration wasn't processed in time.

Weatherstone not acquitted (quite) Ross Weatherstone's companions in the taxi incident were acquitted of all charges on Friday in an appeal hearing in Reading. Weatherstone himself didn't appeal, presumably because United preferred to let the matter maintain a low profile, although his friends' lack of guilt could possibly be extended, by implication, to Weatherstone as  [ more ]
