Sorry for just popping in and saying a team for this game but Daza (my Worcester lover!!!!!) thought its a good game to get involved! My side is LOUGHBOROUGH DYNAMO who are playing Stapenhill at home! I picked these because myself and Daza have been there last season to watch a womens FA Cup Qualifying game between the ladies sides of Loughborough and Worcester (Loughborough won 4-3 ). www.loughboroughdynamofc.co.uk/news.phpQuite a nice site they got going as well.

Hey, if LOUGHBOROUGH DYNAMO and MARKET DRAYTON TOWN both win then they play against each other.
What happens if two of our teams play each other? Obviously the winner carries on but the loser is supposed to take the victor as their new club (unless I misunderstood the rules). Do they have to share the club which won after then or what?

That is a good site, Fenners. Be even better if registration wasn't required, I guess. I love the "Random Photo" slot. And also the dreamy name and mellifluous profile of their Women's No. 16..... In reply to you, Giggy, yes, you would both adopt the new winning Club, but obviously the ORIGINAL owner will get more shiny spangles at the end of term.

Should my chaps prevail, then it's another away tie at either North Leigh - who play in the totally Tinpot "Sport Italia Hellenic League Premier Division" - which deserves a prize for being the most obscure league name of the lot, surely? or Devizes, who play in the Western League and boast this... which gurantees them Tinpotness

Boast what? I can't see anything. Lest anyone doubt the sanity, sincerity or sanctity of our Coops opinions here - he's right. Until I got home and modified the darn thang, there was no imagery apparent. Happily for both of us - normality has been restored.

I don't remember going to Northamptonshire I remember Surrey, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire, but... Sorry, must've been asleep!

Sorry, must've been asleep! I took the job of chief car sleeper Sal ;D Many people would suggest that's the way to get the best out of a visit to Northants... but I couldn't possibly comment! There is definite ambiguity about Peterborough's county status. On here you'll see that it was UNDENIABLY in Northants before 1888: www.peterborough.gov.uk/page-5903 It then became its own County (?!) for 76 years, before becoming a part of 'Hunts & P'. Indeed this ambiguity is rife. Look at this, www.british-towns.net/en/level_3_display.asp?GetL2=269 and if you can manage not to doze off, girls , you'll read which suggests that even they don't seem to know. Added to this, you'll probably find your Road Atlas gives it as being in a sneaky, peninsular pocket of North Eastern Northants - that's if you can read the Atlas covered in all that sleepy drool, of course. As far as I'm concerned, though, every Historical Settlement in Britain HAD to be in one county or other at one point - and Peterborough is in Northants. So slplghhphphpphph.* [*raspberry noise.]

I defy anyone to feel secure enough to sleep whilst they are being driven through Corby, Northants!
Peterborough Utd plays in the Northants Senior Cup - not that county cup competitions always reflect the geographical truth.

After all this dilly-dallying, how come its postal address is Cambridgeshire?

I flipping KNEW you wouldn't let this lie!! ;D I know I'm right, (for once....) but it may take a while to prove, as it's a very very odd place is Peterborough. I give you this, for starters: It's not entirely true to say there's a Cambs postcode. It's not that easy. There's no such thing any more, it seems. (There's this: www.privateschools.co.uk/directory/northamptonshire.htm but even that is only one piece of evidence in a massy morass of assy facts... ) The Post office these days doesn't deal with counties - it's more interested in Postal Towns. I was planning to do a scan on the Phillips 2005 Road Atlas to my PC from work, where the Northants boundary clearly encompasses Peterborough - but have just looked at my AA 2006 one, and there's no clear County boundary on it. Are counties going out of fashion? Where would that leave the Counts? Or Sheriffs? [i.e.Shire Reeves..] I instinctively KNOW that Peterborough comes from Northants. Whether it's still there, I don't really care about. That's where it belongs! If you still don't believe it, I'll ring up the bally Mayor tomorrow to find out for proper.
