Tom Jones, right back from Wales - no jokes please!!!!

The latest newsletter has been posted today so you should be getting it in the next few days. We need your votes in for the Player of the Season by 25th April please, you can either fill in the slip with your newsletter and leave it in the shop or you can email us.

We would like to contact members by email in the future instead of using the post so we need to gather as many email addresses as possible. If you would like us to use your email address to contact you, please send us an email at boundary.blues@gmail.com

If your child is not a member of Boundary Blues or Chaddy's Gang then they can still come to our end of season party. Also, at the party we will be picking out the mascots for the first half of next season. You do not have to be a member to have your name in the draw, but you have to be a member when you are a mascot.

Just a reminder that tickets can be purchased from the tuck shop at the back of the Chaddy End tomorrow or from the club shop at any time.

Thanks!

Boundary Blues and Chaddy's Gang End of Season Party tickets can now be booked.

This year our End of Season Party will be held on Wednesday 4th May 2011 at North Chadderton Bowling Club.

It will start at 7pm and finish at 9pm.

There will be plenty of time for you to talk to the players, ask questions, play games and have a go at the raffle.

We will also be picking out the mascots for the first half of next season as well as awarding this season's 'Player of the Season' trophy.

Places are available to book now, through the club shop at Boundary Park or in our tuck shop in the Chaddy End.

The price is £5 for Boundary Blues and Chaddys Gang members and £7.50 for non-members/adults. The ticket price includes food!

Please book early as the Christmas Party was a sell out and we ended up having to turn a few children away.

 

its not the pupils who go there/have been there's fault that their parents could afford/decided to send them there, they're 'told' to go there in effect as more often than not their parents decide, should they be so able as to have a choice to make regards their education.

 

Not an attack on you - you can obviously say what you like - but i get slightly wound up by this perception that people who have been to grammar school are 'posh' or 'clever' - trust me, the actual kids who do attend are you're average lad in the street, just that they have been given an opportunity by their parents - a lot of them don't take it. )

Although some 11 year olds have their own brain and make their own choice of which school they would like to go to, nothing to do with the amount of cash their parents have!

I went to Hulme and was the only person from my junior school to do so. I didn't want to go - I wanted to go to Royton and crompton with all my mates. Best thing I ever did, career-wise. And you make new friends.

 

The thicker ones tended to be the richer ones.

Good job you're not rich then!!

I think the problems come when the shirts are stretched over the beer belly or put in the tumble dryer or on a radiator!

Follow the washing instructions and buy the right size and you should be fine

Mine's 12 weeks. Her mum'd throttle me if I tried taking her tonight

Give her a pie, she'll soon warm up!!

Mine is still going at 6 years old and wasn't very impressed when her bet didn't come in on Saturday, that was after having her pie and throwing beer at strangers. I'm not quite sure what Latics has turned her into

*hatches a plan*

She was only that old because she was born 5 days after the season finished so had to wait for a pre-season friendly.

My son however, was 8 days old when he first went!!! Some call it child cruelty

 

 

10 is too young for a girl.

 

My daughter was 10 weeks old when she first went!!!

I couldn't get a ticket for the 6-0, even though my mum had one! I had to stay at home at listen to the radio.

Surgery over.

 

Discharged.

 

Wants to go to the match tonight!

 

Good lad!!

Good!!! Might see you later then :-)

How exactly do you enforce/moderate that rule? You cant! So why not just tell them to take it easy in situations which which would marginally benefit us. You dont get points for having the moral high ground.

Opposition complain to the Football League who then look at the video of the game and fine the home club. Alternatively, the bench complain to the ref who withdraws the multiball system from the game and includes it in his match report which is passed to the Football League. Once again, the football league look at the video of the game and fine the home club.

Their ball 'boys' were incredibly biased. They rolled/underarmed the ball to us, and threw it directly to the Huddersfield players rapid. Dont see why we cant do a bit of that every now and then.

Because it's against the rules!!!

 

well thats two ball boys out as my brother broke 2 fingers and cant catch and hes a ball boy as well <img src="http://www.owtb.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blush.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="blush.gif" />

Can you let me have his name please as nobody has told us and we sort of need to know if ball boys aren't available!!!

I am a little disappointed not to have got the call up!

 

I'd do it - really!

I'm sure we have able bodied reserves - because I'm not doing it!!!!

I'll try to keep things up to date.

 

Although I have no idea who makes the purchases, I can see what sites have been clicked on, how much has been spent and what commission it has earned.

 

So at the moment there's £3.87 in pending commission (woohoo) which is basically generated from 3 purchases over the last 3 days. The individual commission amounts are £1.50, £0.45p and a massive £1.92!

 

This £3.87 isn't yet included in my signature - that amount was carried forward for a previous club I was involved in that has since been wound up .

oooh good!

I didn't spend much on the High School Musical Trilogy (not for me may I add) but I guess it all adds up :-)

Excitingly, somebody somewhere has just earned PlayerShare £1.50!

How can we check a running total? I noticed there was nothing on the site saying how much my purchase earned.

Or do we just keep a check on your signature?!!

Bump..

I'll pick it up from the shop and then do it, should be a week or so.

Thanks

Lisa

This is now a sell out - thank you!!

I understand there are still places available on the normal club coach.

Lisa

Places are still available on this coach to Huddersfield and can be booked in the club shop.

Thanks :-)

So Lisa/Dan Is this additional to the regualr mascot or instead?

There will be a Boundary Blues mascot at every home game and some away games.

Not sure but I'm sure the kid who's parents paid for it v Southampton seemed to have a bag of goodies - do the BB members get that and do the kids that get it paid for have to supply their own kit like the BB members do? (Which although no fault of the BB administrators, I do think it's bollocks that the kids have to have a full kit to be mascot (I know discounts are offered but this is not widely advertised ) especially when there is a choice of three possible kits…surely as a gesture of goodwill the kids who don't have the right kit could be given a kit, even it means sticking 50p on the price of a shirt for everyone else, the cost would be easily absorbed…I know some clubs do this but most don't. At a time when we are losing fans in droves we should be bending over backwards for the kiddies, hooking them in and keeping them there…

The child who did it against Southampton had been and bought some items from the club shop, so, had a bag with some things in but they were not part of the mascot package. They do not get a kit, they have to supply their own. Not only had they paid the club to be mascot, they had also bought a kit and some other items.

BB mascots have to supply their own kit as we cannot fund kits for all the kids, nor can we keep a kit for them to borrow in every size!! We used to have a spare kit but it wasn't worth it as it was hardly ever used. We have never had a complaint from a parent about a child having to wear the kit. There is no obligation for the child to accept the mascot place, we always check with the parents.

A child can be a member of BB for £10. If they are mascot and have to buy a kit, I think it costs £30. Therefore an outlay of £40. They are given 2 complimentary tickets, a tour of the dressing room to get autographs, a look behind the scenes (inc physio room, refs) time in the players lounge, programme, trophy, certificate, kickabout on the pitch, lead the teams out.

Yes it still includes the membership, just fill the forms in at the ticket office and they should pass the details through to me.

Lisa

Yes you do and do you have to be with some one who a bb member to go on the coach.

Yes, you have to be either

1) A member of Boundary Blues

2) A member of Chaddy's Gang

3) Accompanying one of the above

That is a bargain

I win

Tuesday night, end of January when everyone is skint.

I doubt many more than 25 people will be on the coach next Tuesday night yet it'll cost around £500-£550 to hire it.

Latics will not make a profit on this one.

We need a mascot for this game and one child will be chosen at random off the coach list.

I will need to inform Huddersfield of the mascot by 28th January so if you intend to travel with Boundary Blues and want to have a chance of being the mascot, please get your name down before then.

Thanks

Lisa

We still have coach places available for the Walsall match, next Tuesday 25th January.

The coach leaves Boundary Park at 4.45pm.

Places can be booked at the club shop, prices are £15 members and £23 non-members.

Thanks

Lisa
