Capello coming to Queensgate ?

This morning my phone was pretty hot 3 text messages and two missed calls (phone is on silent through the night i like my sleep) All three texts were about the story in the back of our paper on the Brid Town page. have i seen the Free press Fabio Capello is coming to Queensgate straight away i was kind of suspicious and went down stairs to get my paper sure enough there it was Exclusive : Capello to watch Brid Town stars, and the Headline Absolutely Fabio-lous and for about 30 seconds i actually believed Fabio would be coming to visit Queensgate and then i clicked oh dear April the 1st yes its Fools day and like my mates i also fell for it. last week we fell for the Armthorpe getting beat rumour and this week Fabio coming to Queensgate oh dear whatever next.

here is the article kindly borrowed from the Free press website :

THERE will be a surprise VIP casting an eye on title-chasing Bridlington Town on Saturday.

With just two-and-a-half months until the World Cup begins, the Free Press can reveal England manager Fabio Capello is planning to visit to Queensgate.

The Italian will be running the rule over some of the Seasiders' squad during their match against Long Eaton United, after reading glowing reports about the runaway league leaders.

Town manager Gary Allanson said: "I know it is April 1 but there is still time for players to impress the England manager.

"Mr Capello is no fool, and if players are in form, I'm sure he will consider them, whether they play in the Premiership or the Northern Counties East League.

"I just hope it doesn't affect the lads, knowing the England manager is watching them from the Bus Shelter."

To celebrate Mr Capello's planned visit, the Queensgate food kiosk will be selling pizza and pasta instead of pie and chips, and the Seasiders are considering swapping their all red kit for a strip in green, white and red, the colours of the Italian flag.

FA spokeswoman Ola Prilfo would not confirm the England manager would definitely be at Queensgate but told the Free Press: "Mr Capello said he wanted to see a team where all of the players were English, not like in the Premier League.

"He didn't say where he was going but he has packed his bucket and spade."

Bridlington chairman Peter Smurthwaite was equally tight-lipped. "I can't say too much, but Mr Capello will have to pay his £6 at the turnstile like everyone else.

"And there's a nice botle of Italian red as one of the raffle prizes if he buys a ticket."
