I don't want saving IF we win, mate... I need someone to get me and the family out of here if we lose. I reckon I could handle winning, rare experience though it is these days.

More good publicity for Cas. Saw a programme on telly when I was home recently about gay men and women in sport. Thomas was interviewed and mentioned the incident again there.

Have to say, I do feel a bit sorry for the club. A few idiots have really dragged them through the mud over the last year or so. Don't know what efforts Cas have made to prevent these individuals from attending games in the meantime. Hope they've been successful, though. The sport doesn't need them around.

Can anyone tell me what its like in Fitzwilliam? Is it somewhere you would consider living or not?

Same goes for Ryhill, and Havercroft?

Or Ackworth?


Cheers....

I personally wouldn't live in Fitzwilliam, Ryhill or Havercroft.
They are pretty rough.

May consider Ackworth.

First reaction was "bandit country", but that may be a little unfair.

I reckon Ackworth is the pick of the bunch. Certainly used to be a nice place, but I haven't been there for years. Ryhill used to be a great little village as well, but I don't hear a lot of good news coming from there now.

Can't really comment on the other 2, but as Wildthing says, Fitzy certainly has a bit of a rough reputation.

Cheers guys. Its hard finding somewhere suitable for the right price when I've not lived in Wakey for 30 years.

I used to live in Havercroft at the top of the green for about 14yrs, as rural village you couldn't wish to live in a beautiful bit of country side now the collieries have all closed and to be truthful miss the walks around the lakes that is near there,
fitzy is a true mining village as is kinsley, hemsworth area, I had loads of workmates that lived in or around and you wouldn't find it difficult to find a welcoming pub as it was a close knit community, ackworth is tends to be more pricey though

if you need any more advice give me a pm as I should be able to point you in the right direction even though I haven't lived there for about 13 yr,

kinsley has a good dog track if you like greyhounds
