Gresley Rovers F.C.

I've got Alex Staley who plays for Derby and Freddie Hallam who plays for Forest.

Now Staley and Hallam were two players from my youth who played for Gresley Rovers and I thought, well, we could use those names and put them into the action.

How the story came about was for a while I worked at Nottingham Trent University part-time on their broadcast media course and the students were a bit reluctant to contact real people to get interviews with them.

So we had this arrangement with Nottinghamshire Police and they would send some of their officers down to down to the studio so the students would interview them so it was it benefited both sides the students got to talk to real people and the police got to know what it was like dealing with the press and doing a press conference and things like that and one of the people i met was actually a guy called marcus oldroyd at the time he was an acting inspector and he was dealing with some really big cases.

And I actually have an exclusive thing to announce about Finn Ryder from club chairman Gary Norton.

And it's great news that Finn Ryder has committed his future for the foreseeable to Gresley Rovers.

Obviously, when Andy Gray left, there was numerous clubs coming flying in for him because he is that kind of player.

I just want to take a moment to share how much this club genuinely means to me.

Gresley Rovers is so much more than a football club.

It brings people together, creates friendships, gives people a sense of belonging and plays such an important role in the lives of so many people in our community.

Good evening, everybody.

So, uh, we're here to, uh, relive the week's action for Gresley Rovers.

Someone's gotta do it.

[laughs] We, uh, will look back at the Clay Cross tie, uh, midweek, and of course the Sherwood Colliery, uh, game at the weekend.

We'll also talk about the ladies' team tonight, and we'll also talk about the Gresley B side as well, and everything else Gresley Rovers.

So where, where do we begin? [laughs]

Where do we begin?

There's worse attention than-
