Hockton on the list

Jerome Pineau take the stage.

Football - Due to the stones most recent reducing in the playing budget striker Danny Hockton has been placed on the transfer list, with his experience I don't think it will take him to long to find another club but the Stones squad now looks a little thin especially in the striker department. It would be good to hear of some players coming in as well as leaving.

Also piece from Bill Williams about possible high profile  friendlies. http://www.kentonline.co.uk/kent_messenger/sport/2010/may/14/stones_friendly.aspx


Cycling - It was great to see a break away make it to the finish yesterday in the Giro d'italia stage 5. Jerome Pineau took the sprint out of a three man group with the main field bearing down on them. Italy's Vicenzo Nibali stays in the overall lead.
