Lakenheath Old Boys

We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

Breaking News: Juve, Fiorentina, Lazio Relegated!

Here's the latest from the Italian match-fixing scandal. Juve, Fiorentina and Lazio have all been relegated to Serie B. Milan survives in Serie A but has been stripped of its Champion's League spot and starts the next campaign with a 15 point deduction. Other details:

* Juventus have been stripped of their last two Serie A titles, sent down to Serie B and will start the new campaign with a 30 point deduction.

* Lazio and Fiorentina have also been stripped of their Serie A status and will start with minus seven and minus 12 points respectively.

* Milan have kept their place in Serie A but have been deducted 44 points from last season’s tally which means they will not be allowed to enter the Champions League.

* The Rossoneri will also start the 2006-07 campaign with a 15 point deduction in the First Division.

This is apparently being considered light punishment as the prosecutors were looking for Juve to be demoted to Serie C and the other three to Serie B.
