It's all messed up and they look silly but the IBF always stick to their rules on this and insist the Champion fights the mandatory otherwise gets stripped....But there are no decent boxing orgs really now and they do what the :censored: they want and have super champs, intercontinental champs, silver champs blah blah

Definitely true I'm afraid. Got a text about 9pm yesterday. We were having our Xmas party there tonight. No idea who or what is to blame but bad news all round. Heard a party last night was stopped in full flow? We've been offered a free party later on this month or in Jan if we want.

Bad weekend all round! First we slump into the relegation zone, then the vile Tyson Fury becomes HW champ, then wake up to hear the horrible DeGale has won.

Enjoyed that. Madness to think that even in the 60s lots of people in Oldham didn't have running hot water or indoor bath and toilet facilities. I had to go to a terraced house in Shaw around 2005 where the old man who'd passed away had no indoor bathroom or toilet but I put it down to being in Shaw.

It was certainly better than the first but that's not really saying much. Barnsley were poor too yet could've been 4 up at half time.

Let me know how much you want for yours if you're serious about getting rid. Cheers.

I don't give a :censored: what division we're in or whether we've got some French fancy Dan playing for us...I just want a few goals and a decent atmosphere.

Average crowds of 7k more due to the likes of Wolves, Stoke, WBA, Sunderland etc filling the RRE if I remember rightly. Said to myself in preseason that I'd start going once the new stand was open...my excuse this last few weeks has been that I'm waiting for the stand to open fully. Actually might go to the Mansfield game. Bit riding on it.

Goals.

Nope. But if you get the free Weekend Chronicle paper where you are it was featured in there this month. Can't remember the details myself though and the paper is now in the bin.

FTFY

I probably ask this each and every season, out of pure frustration with the lack of goals, but when was the last time we had a forward banging 20 or so goals in a season ? You know, the type that Rochdale and Bury and everyone else seem to find far more often than we do...

It'd have to a be a colossal win for me to put some the way of the club...say 30m... I've always imagined I'd subsidise season tickets to the point they're free for people who've had one in the last 20 years and dirt cheap for any one else who wants one. Any left over would go to local kids. All local school kids would get a free shirt.

Being a soppy, nostaligic, stuck-in the 90s lad, I was intrigued by this 'World Cup Cricket' game. Not one I've had the pleasure of. Went on eBay and found this ----> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VINTAGE-1993-WORLD-CUP-CRICKET-GAME-BY-PETER-PAN-PLAYTHINGS-IN-GOOD-CONDITION-/221836852608?hash=item33a681bd80 The game is missing the rules (and the wickets !!) but this helpful ebayer describes the rules to would-be buyers.... This is a good condition vintage World Cup Cricket game from 1993 by Peter Pan Playthings. The game is missing the instructions, wicket and the scoring sheets but comes with all other parts including THREE balls. You can easily pick up a spare wicket online or make your own from card, a la Blue Peter. The rules should be pretty simple for anyone who knows what cricket is. You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out. When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game Box has some signs of storage wear and is in average condition for its age. Happy to answer any questions. UK bidders and UK postage only. :censored: me.

I think that was the book the presenter of Boxing Matters on boxnation might have mentioned as being a top read. The Road to Nowhere by Tris Dixon is supposed to be a good book.

Tranmere at home Aug 2013. He'd just turned 5. They got a last min pen to win the game 1-0. He already hates Tranmere as much as me.

I thought it lacked a bit of depth, detail and insight tbh, especially given how long the programme was on for. Fash had a lot of airtime and seemed to be trying to be a little like Chris Eubank snr.

Thought you was a hardcore ultra...

Been to Millmoor on Tues before now when we've taken 1300, but I don't expect us taking many more than 800 to this.

Anyone think that boxers and the sport have now evolved so much thar we're getting lots of fights going the distance and being fairly equal? I know the fighter's safety comes first but time to mix it up a bit perhaps?

Anyone get boxnation through virgin and think the picture quality is poor?

Eubank has a lot to learn. Strong, very fit and dangerous looking fighter but needs more than thundering body shots and uppercuts against top quality boxers. Still looked raw tonight and a better fighter than Saunders could have really made him pay for being so wild. Impressed with Saunders. Tidy, fast, good movement and chin....but have a gut feeling that's he's as good as he'll ever be already. Whereas Eubank? Who knows? Get him in with Adam Booth....and :censored: his dad off. Shouldn't have taken that fight tonight really. Not ready.

Out of order. Think the police wanted to let off some steam there. No need for punches.

Will be in bluebelle Royton til 2

Feeling dirty this morning. Sick of streams and finally subscribed to boxnation. looking forward to show tonight - stacked card, as the yank gimps might say.
