Alright Jack? Wed 15th Sep 1999 14:45
Reports today suggest that Town could be about to make £500,000 offer for Grimsby striker or midfield man Jack Lester. 23-year-old Lester, who either plays as an out an out striker or as an attacking midfielder, will be out of contract with the Mariners at the end fo the season and is refusing to sign an extension. Grimsby will want to get a fee of some sort for their starman and so may well be willing to part with the player at a reduced fee. However, Town may be up against several other clubs for his signature. Premiership sides Southampton and Wimbledon are both rumoured to be interested and Wolves expressed an interest just last week. Lester has scored four goals already this season adn has set up several more.

Crewe Cut Unbeaten Run Wed 15th Sep 1999 11:54
Town fell to their first defeat of the season last night when they fell 2-1 to Crewe Alexandra. However, it was in the Worthington Cup and Town appeared to have little appetite for the hugely devalued competition on the night. Town actually took the lead through a rasping Mark Venus free-kick on 30 minutes. This came as a surprise as Crewe had been the more industrious side up to this point.

Borington Cup News Tue 14th Sep 1999 17:28
Town travel to Crewe this evening to take on Dario Gradi's side in the Worthington Cup. George Burley is the latest in a line of managers to use the competition to give some of his first team a bit of a rest. Jim Magilton and Mickey Stockwell seem likely to start after appearing as second half substitutes on Saturday. Manu Thetis, back from suspension also seems likely to be in the side. Town have an injury worry over David Johnson and he may be another one to sit tonight out. Jermaine Wright will be playing his first game against his former club.
