    Steam trains..

    Not sure there are any steam trains due to run at the moment. A decent place for a wander around though is Hopetown (was North Rd museum) in Darlington. It is free entry but there is a paid for attraction that involves a moving (up and down, side to side) attraction inside for about £5 each...

    Well done Stockton Town

    I think the red card used to be 2 weeks before a ban at all levels. Then the football league and premier league could do it straight away with improved technology, rather than postal system. Further down the pyramid everybody from referees to club administrators tend to be be very much part...

    Well done Stockton Town

    Sad for Stockton, but it did seem inevitable due to the captain's red card. One Teesside team had a great day yesterday with Thornaby clinching promotion by winning at Jarrow 4-2 on penalties in a howling gale. Fantastic day with players and large travelling crowd celebrating in the Jarrow pub...

    Dickens Home Improvement Hypermarket

    The original Dickens was in Thornaby on Mandale Rd I think. My father is always going on about how his first job was sorting out the nails for them when he was still at school. He is in his 80s now, so it was going for a while. I always remember the Boro doing the ditching on them when they...

    Yorkshire

    Just realised that Worcs opening partnership of 90 was their highest ever 1st wicket partnership at Headingley. I know they played at lots of out grounds in years gone by - but that is some turnaround from positive record to losing record in a couple of days.

    Yorkshire

    Don't think need to worry about England with those 2. Both good players but Coad has been doing good things for years and no sniff of an England call probably because they don't think he has enough pace. Love Thommo and his energy but don't think he is England class. Was really impressed with...
