The latter deal was done in part because Canadians love reality programmes such as Big Brother.

So? When Toronto spend their six weeks in this country, the players will live in a couple of houses with TV cameras posted throughout. Compulsive viewing or not!

Next month we have a former Fartown favourite, Paul Dixon.

Paul went on to play for Halifax – apologies to Brian Blacker for bringing that up – and Great Britain.

So come along and join us on Tuesday, March 14.

Why Tuesday, March 14 and not Tuesday, March 7?

Because Town are at home, St Andrew’s Road will be chocker, and Turnbridge will be packed – ditto in April.
