Summer Hilarity

By: Matt | June 20th, 2009

So some bits and bobs to cover as the summer progresses.

Asia Trip

The Tigers look forward to their trip to Beijing, where they will play a few friendlies in the Asia Trophy. Thomas Cook is offering travel packages, although the Chinese government is randomly quarantining those who show signs of swine flu. Worth the risk to see the Tigers in Asia? You decide. I’ll be taking a miss.

Striker Search

With Frazier Campbell away with England in the Euro U-21 tourney (and scoring), the focus moved to West Brom striker Marc Fortune, who seemed a handy little player in the last few weeks of the season for the Baggies. A bid has been made so we’ll keep an eye on that.

Paul Duffen is Very Persuasive (Or At Least his Lawyer Is).

Odd one this, from the off-the-pitch news section. Tigers chairman Paul Duffen was in court this week to face a potential six month driving ban, for zipping around in his Aston Martin a bit too fast for the cops liking. Amazingly, he avoided said ban, because it would have caused him ‘exceptional hardship’. To make a short story shorter, he has to drive, because if instead, someone drove him around, while he was discussing sensitive topics, like transfers, confidentiality could be broken. Riiiigghhhttt. Kudos to Paul for getting out of that one.

‘Fit’ Fans Graduate Weight Loss Program

The first group of supporters recently graduated from a weight loss scheme put on by the Tigers, in order to promote healthy living on Humberside. The group of 12 combined to lose 154 pounds over the course of the program, with Dean Windass contributing a healthy zero to that total. Ba-dum-kssshhh, we’re here all week folks, please tip your waitress.

Until Next Time,

COYH
