UAE national side. Surely Kev can find an investor from that country. His track record of recruiting investors is second to none trouble is they're always skint.

We're playing Sheffield FC away on Saturday 6th August at 3pm according to their website. Not sure which team though.

Been told it's now a 12.00KO at Coach & Horses.

I wondered why we were playing a friendly against Handsworth at Worksop, their merger must have passed me by somehow:-

http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/handsworthfc/a/history-9074.html

"Handsworth Parramore FC were formed at the start of the 2014/2015 season after the merger of two highly successful clubs, Handsworth FC of the S&H County Senior League Premier Division and Worksop Parramore of the NCEL Premier Division. The clubs had been working together towards the merger during the previous season after first announcing their plans in the Summer of 2013.

The NCEL and the FA allowed the new club to take over the position of Worksop Parramore, who had just finished in 4th place in the Premier Division, whilst the S&H CFA allowed their reigning Champions to continue under the name of Handsworth Parramore Reserves.

The decision was made for the first team to play their home matches at Sandy Lane, Worksop whilst the Reserves and the other senior teams (Under 21’s, Under 19’s, Under 18’s A & B sides and Over 35’s) play their home games at Olivers Mount in Handsworth, Sheffield. The aim of the clubs joint Chairmen, Pete Whitehead and John Ward, is for the first team to return to Sheffield in a brand new facility within the next two years.

The new club could not have begun life better as in their first game, they crushed Glasshoughton Welfare 6-0 and followed this up with a 5-1 victory over Oadby Town in their first ever FA Cup tie. After leading the table for a number of weeks, a downturn in fortunes led to a change at the top and the installation of the ex Belper Town management team of Peter Duffield and Mick Godber.

The duo rebuilt the squad who ended their inaugural season in 7th place and with the clubs first piece of silverware, the NCEL Challenge Cup, secured after a thrilling 4-3 victory over Cleethorpes Town.

As we enter our second season, hopes are high that we will be one of the main challengers for the title as we aim to progress up the Non-League pyramid."
