Well Who Would Have Thought That ...
Following a disappointing result against Forest Green Rovers on Tuesday night, Marcus Law’s men welcomed footballing legend Dietmar Hamann and his Stockport County side to The lamb.
After ten games, Tamworth were sitting nicely in 9th position, above The Hatters in 14th, Stockport not starting the season as well as many would have predicted at the start of the season, following their recent...

Much Changed Side Win In Cup
You can never be quite sure what the Birmingham Senior Cup games will give you. For teams like Tamworth, it is usually a chance to give your fringe players a run out, while for smaller teams, it s a chance to go on a decent cup run, and win some silverware. This year, Marcus Law has said he wants to do well in the competition, so tonight’s match against Midland Alliance side Boldmere St Michaels...

Law Shows Mills Who's Boss
Another former manager and his assistant made a return to The Lamb today, this time in the shape of Gary Mills and Darren Gee, who left for a second time last season before the whole Des Lyttle debacle began.
Almost a year on from his departure to York City when Gary Mills had guided Tamworth to within a win of first place in the fledgling Blue Square Premier table the former Nottingham Forest...

Maroon 5 'Moves Like Jagger' Review
It’s been a while since maroon 5 have had much success in the U.K.
Having been away for a while until last June with ‘Misery’, Adam Levine and his five-piece have struggled to make the sort of impact on the U.K that they did with songs like ‘She Will be Loved’ and ‘This Love’ with their new album ‘Hands All Over’. But the funk rock band have teamed up with Christina Aguilera for the song ‘Moves...

Day/Night Tests To Be Trialled In Canteburry
It is well known in the cricketing world that County Championship matches are often badly attended.
Starting at half past 10 in the morning and finishing by six o clock in the afternoon, it is not really any surprise though, because most people who are interesting in the game are at work or education during this time of the day. Compared to limited over match ups, test matches are seen almost...

Tamworth Lose At The Morgue
After a day of wracking my brain and indecisiveness, I took the decision to follow Tamworth down to London to watch them take on Hayes and Yeading United, who for the time being ground sharing with Woking while Yeading’s ground The Warren is redeveloped after the Sale of Hayes’ Church Lane ground was sold to make funds available for the redevelopment.
Hayes and Yeading are a curious team. Hayes...

Support Non League Day
More and more in recent times have we said that football is becoming all about the money rather than the love of the game, Samuel Eto’s massive money move to Anzhi Makhachkala in Russia is the latest spit in the face of the hard working football fan who could never even dream of earning the sort of money they so often fork out their hard earned cash to watch their favoured team play.
It is not...

Non League Day is a celebration of the semi-professional and amateur game, and a chance for fans of bigger clubs to experience football at a level they may be...

Tamworth Let Lead Slip
It was bank holiday Monday, the weather was, dull, dreary and cold. So much for summer, today was going to seem more like a winter fixture than late summer.
During bank holidays, there are always a number of different events taking place. This bank holiday, the Staffordshire Hoard, discovered last year in the Staffordshire Moorlands was being exhibited at Tamworth Castle, and this brought along...

Wormtail!
After some much needed sleep, I have finally shaken off the effects of the night before the day after in Bath yesterday, where Tamworth supporters had the usual disappointing result, losing 7-4 (or 8-5 to some people, nobody really seems to be able to remember how many goals were actually scored) to Bath City supporters.
Stupidly deciding to go out the night before, me and Chris were certainly...

New Boys See Off Test Of Old Boss
After a good start to the season, The Lambs were up against a tougher test today against old boss Mark Cooper and his side Darlington. Tipped by many as contenders to go up, this was going to be a tough test for Law’s new boys, much sterner than Barrow and Ebbsfleet posed. This was the first real game where Tamworth fans would get to see what the new set of players were really about.
Darlington...

First Home Game, First Win
The first home game of the season for Tamworth came after a one all draw away to Barrow, up in the lakes, courtesy of an Iyseden Christie penalty in the 31st minute.
Today, Liam Daish’s newly promoted Ebbsfleet United (Gravesend and Northfleet until the idiots at Myfootballclub.co.uk took over and thought a rebranding of the club would attract new sponsorship) were the visitors. The last time...

'I'm Buzzing I Am'
An Aston Villa XI was sent down The Lamb tonight for a last minute friendly not announced until Monday. The game bought some of the closet Villa fans out of the closet who will now say they have been to watch ‘their team’ this season, along with the usual batch of freaks that always find solace down The Lamb.
The side, made up of mainly reserve team players would provide the test that Tamworth...

Brilliant Finale To A Brilliant Saga
J.K Rowling’s Harry Potter has hit the screens, marking the end of an era in fantastic style.
For people of my generation, Harry Potter has always been there, either through the books, or the films, and anyone who is of the age of 19-21 would have in some way, shape or form grown up with Harry and his wizarding chums. For me especially, this has been part of the appeal of the series, particularly...

World Cup Qualification Looks Interesting
The draw for the European qualifying section for the World Cup 2014 was made on Saturday, once again putting England against Poland, and creating a real problem for France.
The format for qualification will take the same process as 2010, with 8 groups of six and a ninth group of five, putting the contestants of group I in an unfair position from the start.
The draw, made by footballing legend...

Now Tamworth Seem To Be Getting It Together
The pre season friendlies come thick and fast for Tamworth this week, with five games in a week. The first was an away trip to local neighbours Bolehall Swifts on a drenched Friday night.
As if Rene Road isn’t’ normally a hell hole, it certainly is with torrential rain pouring down before and all the way during the game. Since Bolehall have found new backing from a local sugar daddy and have...

Back To Basics For Bush, And It Works
Another new song was released by Bush yesterday, this time called ‘The Sound of Winter’, and while it has to be said that it is still not quite the band that so many loved from the early 90’s, it is certainly a marked improvement from ‘All my Life’ released at the start of July.
If the band carry on with these pre release songs, then there won’t be much of an album left unheard, but this pre...

Just How Protected Are English Clubs From...
Channel 4’s programme ‘How to Buy a Football Club’ aired last night and is it safe to say that it raised some serious concerns in how football in England is run.
In some ways, I am lucky that my team plays in the lowly levels of non-league football, and still operates largely like an amateur club, with little shame in its reliance on local community to help it function. This means that my club is...

'Everything Zen, I Don't Think so'
Ever since I first heard my first Bush song I have as good as worshipped the band and its lead singer Gavin Rossdale. Despite never really making a breakthrough in the U.K market, the post grunge band were massive in America, with their first two albums ‘Sixteen Stone’ and ‘Razorblade Suitcase’ mirroring the sales in the States of Oasis in Britain.
The British band from London achieved what so...

Another Game where I forgot my glasses, and if there is definitely one thing I learned from today’s pre season friendly against Barwell it’s that forgetting my glasses for future games could be very costly, as most of our players look exactly the same! This time out, I had the pleasure of travelling to the game in the Parv-mobile, a rare treat indeed.
Now, one of the reasons why these pre season...

So Post-Grunge is as dead as its forefather is it? Well, maybe so, but there is nothing stopping people from dragging the proverbial corpse around the streets in an attempt to differentiate themselves from the rest.
That is exactly what new band Yuck have done with their self titled album, combining modern indie rock with the 90’s style music from the time of Grunge Gods Nirvana. Likened to...

Welcome Back To The Lamb
Tuesday marked the first of only two home pre season friendlies for Tamworth this season, with Aldershot Town the visitors. The game, part of the deal which saw Tamworth hot shot Alex Rodman sign for The Shots in January, around about the point where Des Lyttle’s Tamworth made as much impact in the Blue Square Premier as a dead dog would at Crufts.
Aldershot brought a team that was largely made...

New Season, New Start
So, Pre Season 2011/12 got off to a start with the usual hosts of lower league opposition from in and around the Southern to Mid-Com Leagues for Tamworth on Friday. For the last two seasons, The Lambs have travelled to Evo-Stick Southern Premier League side Leamington, and this season was no different, with new manager Marcus Law taking his team to The New Windmill Ground, a mix of both trialists...
