  1. Just said to the wife that owd 'Arry likes a player with apoint to prove, Di Canio for example, but how funny would it be to see the founder members of the 'moral high-ground club', namely scousers - going mental 'cos they've signed a perfect Liverpudlian stereoytype. Namely a vicous little :censored: that has done time, picked on those younger than himself, no brain cell in sight and wasted chance after chance oh and the rest of the family are model citizens as well aren't they?!

     

    What would that be...... his 700th chance :angry:

  2. This was around the Chris M**** era. The costs of the Rugby being at BP didn't add up. They weren't getting anywhere near enough for their rent or to pay even for the stewarding. CM offered Hamilton £50,000 as a loan. Hamilton claimed it was a back door way to buy the club. Nobody will ever know. In the end, CM put the price at what it should be for the Rugby to play at BP....and Hamilton milked it and claimed the Yeds were being knifed in the back. I'm not one to stick up for the scum that is CM but where the Yeds were concerned, he was within his right IMO. By the way, let's not forget that when Latics bought the ground back they also paid up the previous unpaid rent holidays. Latics money...not Yeds money. Yeds had (and still have) little right to complain IMO until they get the crowds to pay their way. Or a backer like TTA to assist them in their way. I wish them well though and want to see them promoted. Got to several games last season...not made any this season. I should do now I'm living in Oldham now though.

     

    They have in Quinn.

     

    All i would say is that if there is anyone who has watched Rugby on the tele or whatever and enjoyed it then get down to BP every other Sunday.

     

    Let's face it there isn't much to do on a Sunday really, the crowds aren't the best but things are definatley looking up for the future.

     

    Gotta love a sport filled weekend! :grin:

  3. At the end of the day without the Rugby team Latics would be losing out on money.

     

    The one time i was annoyed with the TTA was when they charged over £4,000 to play at BP, still didn't hate the football club though.

     

    They've been good to Roughyeds ever since though really, they dropped the rent and then dropped it even more when they were in debt.

     

    As for eddyblue, look at the New Start Mortages stand and you'll see some white boards with Quinn Group on them. Well Bill Quinn is owner of Roughyeds and he isn't short of cash, so i would have to say the Rugby have the brighter future. As for modern times, neither club as had any succes really, both been in debt in the last few years and haven't won much either. Closest Rugby have got to winning anything 'Major' was in 1990 when they were knocked out in the Semi-Final of the Challenge Cup with a try that never should of been.

     

    Come On Latics & Roughyeds!
