Go in before the game, buy a 5p screw. Keep the receipt and if you get a ticket you can show them the receipt and prove you were a customer of theirs!

Unfortunately that doesn't work. even if you have bought something.

My ticket was for leaving the site "The driver was observed leaving site whilst the vehicle remained parked on the premises". True they would have had to follow you around B&Q to know that for certain. When I got my ticket the times noted were around the store closing times so they could just ticket all cars once the store has closed. I had been in the football ground 45 mins before the times stated on my ticket.

I understand the leaving site issue is also the same for Elk Mill.

I got one for leaving the site (B&Q) when we played Northampton. I tried to do an online payment but i kept saying no records. I then called them up and they said it's all manual and they probably haven't got the tickets back yet. they said if it wasn't on their system by the 30th (two weeks) it would be void. It's still saying no records so i'm not paying.

Never played for the first team but were named substitutes a few times. from MTK in Hungary.

 

The highlights from the Burton game sum Poleon up. The run he makes when Yeates is pushing forward is embarrassing, schoolboy even. Hes so clueless, and people like him cos he is quick. He doesnt work harder than any of the other players neither to make up for his lack of technical ability. Fuller should have started as the one man up top, and Yeates should have been whipping ball after ball into him. Ugly but effective at this level, ala Liddell to Porter.

I think the runner is Fuller not Poleon, Poleon can be seen running to the back post as the ball goes wide.

You can't knock the model at FC United - they are a demonstration of how clubs should be run. It's just a shame they took and use the United name. It's not a healthy situation to be having fan-clubs for existing teams potentially competing in the leagues ahead of actual clubs, which represent places.

I could do that.

From what I saw after watching the bench closely at the Swindon game, Billy is noting down details, Time etc. of anything LJ wants to review on the match DVD

Also it looked like a lot of the younger players who traveled to the Swindon game were taking notes, probably tactics or notes on individual players.

As they say "Every little helps"

That is never a red card.

I love seeing old photos of this area from Broadway up Middleton road.

I grew up on Taylor street, which used to run all the way up between Hunt lane and Middleton road and although I have a good mental map of the area at the time pictures are a bonus.

As with a lot of towns, so many landmark buildings have been knocked down.

It's definitely Watts street in Chadderton, looking South East, Check it out on google maps street view. The mill was knocked down some time in the 80's due to fire.

The terrace house (gable end) telegraph pole and the "modern" street lights all match as well as the flats in the background.

I remember taking some photos of it while it was on fire with the engines etc.

Sun Mill was, in its time one of the biggest mills in Oldham.

Diego, the street in the picture is Watts Street Chadderton with the Sun Mill on the right, the terrace house on the left is still there as are the flats in the background.

According to Matt Smith, the linesman initially told him that it was Baxter who was offside. They might as well have said "because I say so, that's why".

In the after match discusions neither the ref or linesman knew who it was that was offside.

There should be news on this early afternoon today, keep checking the website (It's not a loan either)

I've just been on MK Dons site, it's just as bad. The template is terrible.

The layout seems more to do with advertising revenue than actually providing information for fans.

It will need major improvments or I can't see it lasting long.

Personally dont like the enclosed boxes much better like MEN arena with an outside area/balcony even folding doors.

There is a balcony in front of the boxes, at the back of the terrace, it was said most people would watch the game from there. Exec boxes are only on the middle level.

My only concerns with the new stand after seeing the proposal are:

*Why does the stand not run the full length of the pitch?

I heard the guy from FWP explain that the sides could be extended at a later date but to include this in the new proposal would mean the removal of at least one floodlight (Chaddy road end) and this would be extra cost.

*There are only 4 turnstiles for the whole stand, these lead into two completely separate concourses, I’m not sure this will be enough, how many of these will be concession turnstiles?

if 1 then that will force parents of kids to enter through only 1 turnstile even if their seats are at the other end of the stand, if 2 concession turnstiles then will 2 normal ones be enough.

I couldn't get a word in with the guy from FWP about this as he was being hounded by residents asking how far the shadow from the new stand would come to their property.

Overall I’m pleased with the design, its probably similar to what we would have ended up with if the council had approved the first time. This stand is purely about raising money on non match days so no changing rooms, laundry rooms, managers office etc. these will all stay in the current main stand.

from what I have heard Miguel is desperate to sign for us but his agent is holding out for more money after initially agreeing to the terms

For visual reference here is a composition with The Chesterfield Main stand added. Thanks to Latics Fanatic's for the Boundary park Model.

I like the design.

I do think some people are miss reading the image with regards the large windows (I did the same at first look) The dark vertical lines that look like they divide the windows are actually shadows created by the roof trusses. the actual windows look simillar in size to the ones on the current exec boxes set on two levels seperated by stonework/cladding like at Fleetwood.

On another note, on the old design from FWP why does the proposed Furtherwood road stand not have any perspex in the roof. The pitch in front of this stand is always the one where we have problems with frost and the low sun in winter.

They make it look far more one sided than I remember.

Of the two proposed technologies being looked at only GoalRef is a vaible solution.

GoalRef is relatively cheap to intorduce and provides an instant result which is relayed to the officials. I can see SKY pushing for Hawkeye as this will work best with TV viewers (Showing endless replays etc) but football should not be about what TV viewers want.

As with the Rangers debate it will be interseting to see if the interest of fooball as a whole rarther than the interest of money are the guiding forces behind any decision.

My priorities/expectations for next season would be:

1/ Not get relegated

2/ Beat Rochdale, Bury etc. for some local pride

3/ Reach the final of the JPT (giving the long serving fans (and stayaways) a day out at Wembley

4/ Not get knocked out of the FA and Carling cups at the first hurdle

I heard they were from the Thai or Taiwanese football league on a fact finding trip.

Clear pen from that picture!

 

I will take you as a windup merchant and leave it there.

Soft yes.

 

But did he get the ball? No.

 

Did his swing make contact with their player? Yes.

 

Was it in the box? Yes.

 

It was a penalty.

Not so sure myself. Both players going for the ball with one foot in the air.

Who fouled who?

Just because the Carlisle player when down does not mean he was definitely fouled.
