New Year . . . Just As Good!

Good Morning All,

Hello, how are you all? We had a good show yesterday, with a great interview set up by Tim. Sam Coke, the Head Coach of the UMASS Men's Soccer Team called in and talked about the success of the team this season. It was good to hear him talk.

Interestingly, he recommended an organisation to check out if there are any aspiring coaches out there. The NSCAA ( The National Soccer Coaches Association of America ) was the place to start. I certainly thinnk it's something I'd like to look into. The website is www.nscaa.com

We also chatted about how our various teams have been progressing lately and also, on a more lighter hearted note, talked about football shirts. If retro, or throwback sirts are your thing, then the place to go as far as I'm concerned is www.toffs.com It stands for The Old Fashioned Football Shirt Company. It's based in England - Newcastle Upon Tyne to be precise, and it's a great idea for birthday presents or Christmas presents - or if you're feeling flush with your cash!

We finished the show nicely, teeing it up ( mixing my sporting metaphors here, but, do I give a rat's arse??!! ) nicely for next week by talking about the subject of illegal payments to players and managers and agents - bungs!

Music was supplied by the excellent Billy Bragg - all in all, another good show! Soon, they'll ( hopefully ) be recorded with the new equipment we have at the station. Then, finally ( ! ) we'll have the show online to listen to again and again. You can listen to us online at www.valleyfreeradio.org right now, however, if you are in the Pioneer Valley here in Massachusetts, good old fashioned radio is still available at 7.00am every Monday ( weather permitting ) on 103.3FM.

Until the next time - keep on loving the beautiful game

Eddie Kennedy
