Loughborough Students

This always looks odd to me. Typically the club is referred to in league tables, social media and general conversation as Loughborough University FC (or variants thereof), which I think is the official name. However, the FA refers to it as Loughborough Students, as does the club’s own logo.

Is Jamie Clapham still the head coach? I haven’t seen anything about him leaving but you don’t always get a news item about it at that level.

The various Loughborough sports clubs are mostly Loughborough Students xxx club. The Sports Students Union is a longstanding separate entity, technically representing the Uni rather than being part of it.

The netball and women's cricket are Loughborough Lightning, presumably for the Sky money

The UCL refers to them as Loughborough Students, but, as they use the Full Time system, that will presumably use the name that is registered on that system. This would be the same for the FA Cup too, I assume.

When I played for them we were called Loughborough University in BUSA competitions (as it was called then), but that might be because it’s a specific competition for universities?

Although they have some students playing for them, Loughborough Lightning netball team are a franchise in the Netball Superleague. Loughborough competing in BUCS competitions are referred to as the university.

Great win for Leicester Nirvana last night 2-1 over Selston
I remember watching predecessors Thurnby Nirvana in the past.

Two of my former teams playing against each other, in one of those ties.

Carlton?

Carlton?

Technically yes, although when I played for them they were called Sneinton. I lived in Nottingham for about 3 years in all, so found a team to play for.

I’m fairly sure Roy Keane wrote in his autobiography that he played against Carlton for Forest in a friendly when he first came to England, obviously ended in a tantrum and a fight. Stuck in my head because I used to live in Carlton myself.

Not sure if that was the same club, if so. This would have been about 2000 up to 2002ish, which is when they changed the name from Sneinton to Carlton Town, so Keane would have been long gone from Forest by then. We did play against the Forest youth team in a pre season friendly though, so they definitely used to play games against local opponents.

Anyone who fancies watching some proper football to remind them what they used to love and how it doesn't have to be possession across the backline

Worth £10 of anyone's money.

Was another great afternoon down Owen Street.

Over 1200 in the door and a top atmosphere.

It's everything a visit to the KP isn't.

 

[Jeff]

Two very tough games in the next round.


Coalville have been drawn away at Notts County.

Anstey Nomads are at home to Chesterfield. I reckon there's a decent chance that could be on TV.

 

[Lako42]

Both massive games for each club.

Another ground to tick off for me and an absolute bonus that I don't have to watch us lose at home Palace.
