Some kind of technical gremlin was interfering with our ability to register for the net on 20th April, but not anymore.
Issue fixed.

Don’t forget to cast your votes in the two big Tour polls currently running. Click here to see the original post and voice your thoughts.
Emmiline Pankhurst’s horse fought the Nazis and died chaining itself to the King’s railings so that YOU could live in a free world that allows you to vote. It’s only two mouse clicks, people – let’s make sure Dobbin didn’t die in vain.
Tour 2016 – Your Views Count!
There has been some discussion recently over whether the Tour for 2016 should decamp from Les Ormes. Many of us have work or family commitments, some are not so flush with cash, and some can’t travel too far. It has therefore been suggested that the Tour take place somewhere closer to home.

The figures are in…
Now the 2015 Blades Season has officially come to an end, our very own Club Statistician Mr Martyn Wisdenear has been slaving over a hot keyboard to update the numbers. This season’s stats will of course be a closely guarded secret until the Awards Dinner and Bhaji Intake, but the career stats have been released for public perusal. You can find them, and many more stats be clicking here.
Should you wish to relive the drama and excitement of the season just gone, you can visit the results and reports here.
The date for the curry and the shortlist for the Champagne Moment will follow soon. But for now,
Happy browsing!

26th August vs St Giles – MATCH CANCELLED
In a decision less surprising than a Zimbabwean elecion result, tonight’s game away to St Giles has been cancelled due to the weather being just too sunny and nice seemingly endless rain. This is a huge disappointment as we were all hoping for one final fixture before stuffing the whites in the bottom of the wardrobe to fester unwashed for the winter.
Thanks to all those who rallied round to get a team together for tonight, can we all keep that enthusiasm going for nets and matches in 2016. We have been playing with a sub-numeral squad all summer, let’s make sure we give the Badger a selection headache next year.
Details of awards dinners, poker nights, casino high-rolling, bowls days etc etc will follow I’m sure but for now, that’s a wrap for Summer 2015.
One love. Viva Albania. Peace out.
