    Yes, hoping for a cracking selection of pictures. Published in August. Will Dave do a book-signing for us?

    Hello all. I only found out my book was due out in August after speaking to a few people at the Charlton match Saturday who told me they had seen details on Amazon, the publishers hadn't given me a publishing date. I hope that most will like it, however when I was approached by the publishers I was a bit hesitant about producing another pictorial book due to all the image copyright legislation, so I've revised and updated this pictorial history from a previous book produced, adding some new images and personal pics, and tried to put a different slant on it. Also it's in colour now too. If Charlton Life is interested in a book signing I'm sure I can sort something out.

    The author's name is spelled incorrectly in the standfirst and the text (see photo above). It's Dave Ramzan. Book available through Amazon for £11.18 inc. p&p, or £14.99 in the shops.

    No, that's definitely how you spell Ben Hayes : - )

    I just checked and the error is mine not the programmes. My apologies to them and more so to Dave. Hopefully, the good review will get me off the hook with him.

    Stay behind after class and do fifty lines, young Ben....

    Since you used "spelled" rather than "spelt" (or even misspelt) in your post I dispute your qualifications to dish out such punishment : - )

    And when experience matters, Henry comes on the outside to regain the freeloading lead from that young pretender Razil........

    Not freeloading if you have to write a 400 word review to a deadline for no pay other than a copy of the book.

    Freeloading is asking people to write articles and reviews for your website for no pay

    From The Oxford Dictionary for Writers and Editors (Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1981):

    spell, past and partic. spelled or spelt

    Do another fifty lines for insubordination, young Ben.

    Since I am not American and wasn't born in the time of Queen Victoria I use "spelt".

    However in your sentence "misspelt" rather than "spelled incorrectly" would have been a shorter and less clumsy usage. : - )

    I'm glad I wasn't the only one who spotted that terrible schoolboy error in the programme.....

    If we are talking about terrible errors in the programme then look at the photo report of the Huddersfield Cup game.

    Has the score as 2 - 2.

    I blame Olly

    Of course I've never made a mistake. Ever.
    Seriously, it does look an excellent book and I will be purchasing mine shortly.

    Swansea City ring a bell : - )

    It is very good and well worth 15 Quid
