The Oldest Footbal Club 150th Anniversary Oct 24th 2007

I watched The BBC's News 24 with interest this morning Wednesday 15th August 2007. The topic of the oldest footy club in the world was featured, which is Sheffield FC. This year is their 150th Anniversary and I think it is something worth supporting. I see that they do not float around the Champions League or the Premier League but bravely survive in the Unibond Northern Premier League Division 1 South League. I then remembered a few years back when the football community (possibly with the help of the Football Supporters Association) rallied to help out struggling Brighton. Supporters from many clubs turned up to swell the gates and in doing so improved the cash flow of the club. I got to thinking maybe something similar could be organised on the club's birthday on October 24th or on the nearest home fixture on either 13th or 27th. Because of the capacity of the club may not be able to take the extra attention maybe support could be by way of buying the replica shirt (or perhaps an anniversary shirt?). Imagine if a mere 1000 took up this suggestion there would be £34,000 swelling the clubs coffers. Then I had bigger idea: Perhaps FIFA could celebrate October 24th and make it "An International Football Day". Then I started to think even bigger and perhaps it should become a public holiday like May Day and people could be encouraged to go into their local recreational spaces and have a kick-about. A healthy thing to do in these obese times. In time this could turn into Footballs greatest day for the People's game.

Summer 2007

Alright proper blogging starts now. Time is running out. I am currently in the middle of the school summer holidays. Exam results for my eldest, Molly are due soon. The boy Neo is five and a half. My recurring leg injury is a cause for concern latest twinge happened as I ran down a steep railway bank after I videod some blackberries. Stupid idea. Got complacent about the sun. We were on the beach at Camber Sands on Sunday and whilst we ensured the kids were covered head to toe with sun block. I went to swim without sunblock and two hours later Mr & Mrs Lobster left the beach. I keep having loads of ideas for the 30th Anniversary of my 1st public performance at the Birmingham all day Punk Festivalk at Barbarella's August 29th 1977. Except I have probably left it a little late to book a gig. My next target was to be in September when my 2nd ever gig was at the Music Machine on 22nd September 1977. However my bass man, Matt Broughton and drummer Jeff Walker have many other commitments in September. The months of October and November at many venues have all the best nights booked and then its Christmas, bah! Humbug. Next up is the 30th Anniversaries of SPIZZOIL - 1st John Peel session, 1st record release but with original guitarist Pete Petrol now living in New Zealand, do I recruit a replacement axeman? I think I may have found one - more on that story later. I intend to target all the music festivals for 2008 as it is increasingly unlikely I can get to visit faraway towns any other way so I have created a web page as a billboard for festival organisers and booking agents for all major rock, indie & punk music festivals to stumble upon or be redirected to:

Have to leave now - lets hope I can do this more regularly

Ex-pats in New Zealand embrace the SPIZZENERGI song 'WE'RE THE ENGLAND'.

Original SPIZZOIL guitarist Pete Petrol has been playing his mp3 advance copy of WE'RE THE ENGLAND to members of the ex-pat community in Wellington, New Zealand. The latest SPIZZENERGI song for the WORLD CUP 2006 is currently only available via eBay for the time being until it is launched next month. He reports that they all love it and one ex-pat advertising executive is so excited by it that he is campaigning to get all the New Zealand sports media to use it when covering the World Cup (New Zealand not participating in the tournament it is thought that most are likely to get behind England)
