Fans raise £127k in 24hrs to save Wrexham

Wrexham FC fans have raised £127,000 in one day to save their club from potential oblivion and there were some pretty amazing donations. £10,000 from a Canadian, two blokes who offered the deeds to their properties as collateral, a 10-year-old lad with £35 savings, and OAPs offering their life savings. The loyalty of football fans is unsurpassable and our hats go off to the Dragons' support. Brilliant.

Argyle fans fear for club's future

Argyle Fans’ Trust has called an emergency meeting to take place tomorrow (Saturday 13th August) with fans fearing their club is teetering on the brink of existence. Potential new owner Peter Ridsdale will appear alongside the club's joint administrator and all fans are welcome. Meanwhile fans' forum PASOTI has launched its own petition to draw attention to Plymouth's plight. You can sign the petition, which is halfway to its 5,000 target, here.

 

BlueSq: Who will win the Premier League?

Bet now at BLUESQ.COM
The Premier League is back and every team hopes to hit the ground running but who do you think will be leading come May? Man Utd (13/8) looked good in the Community Shield against neighbours City (10/3) while Chelsea are second favourites at 11/4. Big spenders Liverpool are 9/1 (along with Arsenal) while newcomers Norwich and Swansea can be backed at a mammoth 10,000/1.

Cancelled game = unwanted rail ticket?

If you have an unwanted rail ticket because of a game that has fallen victim to the riots, the FSF might be able to help. We've been in touch with Virgin Trains who have kindly agreed to refund those with a valid match ticket for Spurs-Everton (go to point of purchase for refund). We've also been in touch with reps from all the major operating companies to ask if they'll follow Virgin's lead. Lastly, we'd advise all fans to keep an eye on the latest news before leaving home for their team's game.

 

And finally... keeper pays the penalty

Bizarre shenanigans over in the United States and we’re not just talking about the indignity of playing on an American football pitch. This keeper seems to think the best way to put a player off is to do a few girlish handstands – Bruce Grobbelaar eat your heart out. But how do you think the penalty taker gets his own back?
