  1. A quick question since I'm no good with technology- if the Demo worked fine for me, do I need to have to go out and buy some sort of graphics card to get 3D to work in the actual game? The specifications indicate I need some sort of graphics thingy to get the thing to work properly, but it said that for the Demo as well and I had no problems.....sorry if this has already been answered or there's some sort of seperate technical specifications thread, but if anyone knows it would be a great help......

  2. Since nobody has got an answer in six days, I hope people don't mind me jumping in here. If they do, feel free to ignore this question.

    What was unusual about Hector Castro, the Uruguayan striker who scored Uruguay's fourth in the 1930 Football/Soccer World Cup Final?

  3. Solid win for Charlton today aside from Jose Semedo getting sent off. Off to Shrewsbury for the League Cup on Tuesday which should be an interesting clash.

    Looking on the Championship as a neutral, I'd love to see Doncaster go up, they have a good attacking mentality. Cardiff probably deserve to go up after coming so close for so long. A lot of my family are Coventry fans, and I occasionally go to games with them, so it would be nice to watch some premier league football. I have soft spots for Nottingham Forest, Sheffield Wednesday and Stevenage Borough as well.

  4. I'm in the curious situation of having chosen to support Charlton Athletic even though I lived in Worcester. I got into them on a whim at the age of 7 and, despire common sense saying I should, I haven't been able to let go, despite the fact I barely ever get to games because it's not feasible for me to travel to London every couple of weeks. I'm going to our League Cup game against Shrewsbury though, and hopefully we won't have a repeat of last year where we were dumped out by Hereford. Of course, promotion is the main hope this season, and since there are more midland based teams in the Championship that would be great for me as well as the team.

    As a fellow Worcester guy, last season was a disgrace from Worcester City. We went from a decent enough mid-table side in the BS North, then got moved to the BS South (generally thought of as the weaker division) and managed to go down (we were saved by someone else getting relegated for financial issues but we still finished in the drop zone). Unless we improve we could end up in the bottom three again, especilly ith no Weymouth to prop up the divsion (though IIRC we lost to Weymouth last season)

    I know, it was absolutely awful. I'd been an avid fan for a fair while, but my spirit just got gradually broken throughout the season. It's a miracle we're still at this level. I think Carl Heeley did quite well when he took over though, and the 4-1 on the last day of the season was a positive sign, but it could well be a long hard season again.

    Carl Heeley did well enough I reckon, well worth giving him a full season to work with. The link up with Birmingham City could help a lot this season (if we get a few good youngsters). Though the main thing on WCFC's future is a stadium move I think. St. George's Lane is, to be brutally honest, a ancient stadium in dire need of renovating but the cost of it would be too high for a side at Worcester's level. Last I heard they had agreed to sell St. George's Lane to fund a new stadium in Nunnery Wood with B&Q, though they had planning permission turned down but were appealing when I moved away to Ireland. I used to sell programmes on match days when I was 15/16 so have a fondness for the old stadium but it's long been time to move away.

    Though this season will be the one where Shabhir Khan become a rock at the back (no the fact I was friends with him at school, Christopher Whitehead, isnt making me biased at all :shifty:)

    I'll miss St Georges Lane, it's a five minute walk from my house so on a purely selfish level it'll be a pain. But I've been going there since I was four years old, and even though it's a run down tip it's got it's quaint charm about it. I always liked Shabir Khan, good solid defender, lot of passion as well, which was another thing lacking this year. I still hope for a half decent mid table position this year, and it's good to have the local derbies back in the Blue Square North, but it'll be a case of wait and see.
