There are plenty of things going on that you don't know about.

Anyway, there was a bit of code which looks for fixtures involving Bury where the match date is greater than the current date. It was ordered by date and then picked the top entry and displayed that as our next game. Still with me here? Anyway the offending MYSQL query was ordered by date name rather than actual date so it had thought April came first because it begins with A. Stupid I know but now i've sat my computer down and carefully explained the situation and it seems to understand now.

Just to clear things up, our next game is at home to Rotherham United FC on Saturday 24th October 2009. Kick off is at 3.00pm.

and to think America sent people to the moon using only a zx spectrum computer, coded by hand in Basic. Your average modern laptop should be able to sort out a fixture list, without getting all confused,you'd think. Maybe it resents the mundane tasks it is given and doesn't really try very hard.

Oh, and what else is going on that Beardy doesn't know about? Did he know that I am looking to get a new car?

fair comment, but none of the lunar shuttles were programmed by me. If they had they'd have probably ended up in Barnoldswick, not that they'd have found anything more interesting there than thy did on the moon.
