Game day and I'm starting already to get the nerves. Probably because I've been having the banter with the work lads. Their craic is that Jonty isn't giving the game the respect he should and only playing 8 folk who would you'd expect to play with the rest trialists. I'm sure it's a wind up though. 

Good luck lads, absolutely smash them and bring the Ike back home again. UTT

The only thing I ask for is no last minute wins or defeats my nerves can't take it

The game always gets the respect it deserves in my opinion, from both clubs. 

The occasion is always bigger than the game and the main thing is that Ike is remembered and celebrated exactly how he should be. 

I'm sure there will be plenty of trialists on the field for both teams as it's possibly their last chance to impress (Can they play in the Challenge Cup?)

Is there any radio coverage for us far flung supporters who can't make it today.

If not I hope its a great game with a big crowd to give both clubs an early cash boost. UTT⁶

Either on Argos car park, or opposite Asda on Preston Street. Think it's £3 all day

Sure it's left up to the clubs to agree, from Jontys previous interviews it seems like it will be 18/19 man squads

It is, normally we hear before hand what the squads will be, but I've not seen anything.

Noticed Callum wasn't on the squad photo yesterday, would like to see him have a run out.
