deyres42 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Great gesture. Could have picked a match when there will be a few more in the ground though perhaps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst squad in at least half a century but at least we can still have a ruddy good circle jerk about what happened in the early 90s. Fold.

Fold. Just hope he plans to re-name the Chadderton Road End to The John Sheridan End. The man who joined us in 1998 and kept us up with kids. Then scored a penalty and again helped us stay up on one leg in 2003. Then took us to the play-offs in 2007 with a squad that has played the best football at this club since 1993. Then move onto when he came back in successive seasons and kept us up from nowhere. The bookies wrote us off, every club wrote us off, nine points adrift, but that man kept us up, not once, twice. I still maintain the opinion had he not been shown the door last season we wouldn't be where we are today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know things aren't great but some of the folk on here need a shake. Some of the posts are beyond belief. Anyway well done re the Joe Royle stand. I wonder when the negative comments will arrive !!

Stevie_J Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I'm really glad they've done something like this while Joe is still around to see how much he means to Latics fans. The fact that we're shit now shouldn't stop us acknowledging the contribution of the club's greatest ever manager. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While accepting the gesture is a good one, even the most ardently optimistic amongst us, must concede there is something a little sad about that fact we don't own the stand we've named after him?
