Gerry and The Pacemakers outsung us briefly, but we outsung The Kop all night.

Listening to 'Just Look Them Straight In The Eye and Say... Pogue Mahone'. Not been so excited by a compilation album since The Jam 'Extras' was released. Probably only of real interest to long standing Pogues fans but the three demos of FTONY alone make it well worth a listen.

Thanks. We (Chonburi) secured second place in the TPL final table last Thursday.

 

I'm saving up for my trip to Wembley. ;-)

Would be great to see you there if we make it. Thanks to your folks for the voucher. Happy New Year Dale.

Two per season ticket holder helps the club as they don't need the same ticket office staffing as for one per person. If it was one per person it would need 4,000 transactions to sell 4,000 tickets. Two per season ticket holder gets rid of the same number in half the time. It is likely that many of the non-season ticket holders who end up with tickets in this first batch will be keen fans who would have queued up for a ticket on open sale so it also has the benefit of cutting down the queues for those that have to wait for open sale. I think it's generally the case that if half the allocation is less than the number of ST holders then it will be one per person. Chesterfield away will be one per ST holder as the away end holds only slightly more than our number of ST holders. I therefore expect to not be sat with friends and family at that game.

Thought this link may be of interest to some of those stopping over in Brighton on 25th September.

None out of two is not very good, is it?

No, and it's not even as late as I thought it was!

Also B side of The Telescopes - Hit The Wall.

I'll excuse the error as it was late when you posted but you may want to check the name of that B-side......

Oh, and the A-side as well!

It is. Rocket to Russia?

No 4 - The Clash - Give 'em enough rope.

Is number 3 a Pebbles compilation?

The Citeh massive are at home to the 8 fingered inbreds on the saturday, kick off 3pm...

 

Not a chance in hell we will kick off at 3...

Correct - my money's on Sunday. United are away that day

I was confused for a while (not difficult, I know) but then I realised your post was on topic.... WTF?

Sorry folks........... as you were

1993/1994 Wed 30 Mar Southampton 1 - 3 Oldham Ath. PREM

What a night that was - cracking atmosphere created by the handful of Latics who made the trip - I think 95% of the Latics crowd were OASIS (including myself at the time). One of my best nights watching Latics - rarely gets mentioned though when people are remembering classic Latics trips

What's not to like?

You've never been to a live event then.

 

Try it then come back and repeat that statement

I'm not a big darts fan but went to the MEN for Twentysixblack's stag do, then took the other half to Brum for her birthday last year (I know how to treat a lady!) It's a really good night and a cracking atmosphere. I'd recommend it to anyone!

Premier League Darts is in Exeter on Thursday March 4th, only 2 days before our match there!

Now all you've got to do is persuade the missus (or in my case the missus needs to persuade me!)

Except that was Sheryl Crow

Nah, I doubt she's even been to Byker!

You're not wrong! I find games a struggle now. All the more reason to make the new stadium better than this.

I'm afraid what he describes is what has gradually happened everywhere since stadia became all seater. He is lucky that his club retained terraces longer than many.

Gone will be the humour of the terraces.

 

There will be no atmosphere. Any supporters that do attempt to stand and sing will be swiftly cut down.

 

Your stadium will be windswept and often freezing.

 

Any little atmosphere that is created by the away supporters will also disappear into the distance.

 

Totally devoid of any atmosphere.

 

You will find attending matches a chore, you will still leave with a cold and empty feeling.

Sounds like Boundary Park. What have we got to lose?

Got my JD Sports tangerine top on all ready to go!

Getting the train from Tutbury at about 2pm, arriving Manchester 15:30 then straight to Sinclairs. Block 109 here we come!

We don't need technology so much, as we can already hear it at BP. If you have a roof on a stand that rises to an apex like The Chaddy then the sound gets caught up in there and doesn't project out, if you have a speaker shaped roof like the RRE, then your problem is solved!

Only if people actually make some noise. If everyone is sat in silence the shape of the roof is irrelevent.

I just wrote to Alan and Simon to say thanks, but add to the wish list!

 

Dear Alan and Simon,

 

Firstly, I'd like to thank you for your tenacity in coming up with such a great ground proposal. I know in this current economic climate that we are very lucky to have such plans. And that we will be the envy of many clubs for the next few years in being able to forge ahead, where others will not have the fudnging in place any more.

 

 

 

Of course, there is going to be a huge wish list for people to have for the new stadium, but I would like you to consider oen that others may not have mentioned yet.

 

The acoustics: would it be possible to engineer the stands so that the home support is magnified to the equivalent of 100,000 men and the away support of 10 mice.

 

Rather than the other way round as is currently the case at Boundary Park!

 

 

 

Seriously, I'd just like this opportunity to again say thanks.

 

 

 

Yours in sincere appreciation,

Why would we want it to sound like 100,000 men shouting "F*** Off Eardley, You're gash!"?

"Its not where your from it's where your at" to quote Ian Brown(I think)

I think he was quoting Eric B and Rakim

 

Let's get down to it, Boppers...

I might have to dig out my old PWEI Sample it Loop it F**k It and Eat It t shirt for Saturday. It'll be like 1990 all over again!

I can guarantee it! It just would've been nice to do it at him.

We could always sing the praises of Bruce Wayne, Optimus Prime, Terminator, Hit the North, Dirty Harry, The Leader of the Pack and Da Doo Ron Ron, amongst others. Can you dig it?
