Plenty do discuss so should be a long night.....early start?

yes exactly, what is the date of the next one? Should be sooner rather than later.

If only something similar was imminent through the club / supporters trust as have occasionally been held in the past. The club needs to connect with the supporters now more than ever.......

Does anyone remember that guy who strolled onto the pitch during game V Ipswich? and sat down on the centre spot? Wonder what he might do on Saturday if he is still watching us now?

Despite my overwhelming love of the club for over 40 years now I find myself patronizing this guy everytime the ball and the player come together....it happened 47 times tonight but I only felt daft once, when he knocked in a decent cross in the 17th minute.

This next ten days is the most important period in the club's recent history which will ultimately decide our destiny in May. Tonight proved that beyond all doubt. Forget Failsworth for the moment. These guys need to make some seriously important decisions for the good of this AND MY AND YOUR football club. The next ten days will prove where The TTA's priorities lie. Do they trust Penny with their money? Or is Failsworth the priority come what may on the pitch? We will know on February 1st 2010.

here here, Penny has allowed us to plunder to new depths I never thought possible.

same for all players, once you've got it you need to maintain it.

Why can't more people show a more positive attitude like this..its the truth and the club and its supposed allies and supporters should not be 'taken in' by negative journalism and a distinct lack of enthusiasm from Penny and the club. What has been said in the Chron / club website to inspire people to attend on Wednesday night? This game is MASSIVE!!!

Why are they not fit when we were told they were ready for boxing day and involved at Hartlepool and like the rest of the squad have not kicked a ball since? Shouldn't we be told they are chomping at the bit or fired up for Wednesday even though we know it might be only for an hour or so rather than reading more negative spin in the chron?

Why not? Both were expected to be involved on Boxing Day! Both made an impact at Hartlepool Both praised at length by Penney concerning their fitness improvements during the last two weeks Both should not be disadvantaged in terms of match practice compared to the rest of the team, they have ALL had a lengthy break Both need to start Wednesday, not left on the bench to possibly chase the game again LEEDS UTD?

Let's hope Smalley and Colbeck live in 'hills in central parts' and get snowed in whilst everyone else is ok.

Totally agree...and if that means Smalley and Colbeck don't start with Taylor and Parker playing wide then that will do for me.

1. Seeing him in KFC Elk Mill With mate or mentor Mark Crossley trying to tuck into a breast which kept missing his mouth. 2. Watching his MOM Performance at Dale V Spireites infront of Tommy and Shez!! I've seen the best and worst of him....

The forecast for the week preceeding the Stockport game would suggest temperatures close to or slightly above zero by day and well below by night so given the recent historical state of their pitch this game must already be in doubt. The Tranmere game on the following Wednesday will be touch and go as the forecast is for slightly higher temperatures from the Sunday in western parts of the UK. To arrange it so soon we must be desperate for some income but at this stage I would call it 50/50 that it will be on.

as long as we win?!

It will now be on a Tuesday so against a London side should benefit us.

OH NO HE ISN'T!! Just been to a panto!

-7 forecast for each and every night this week, +1 if we are lucky during the day, even if it doesn't snow again ( which is unlikely and there's still plenty of the stuff lying here in Norden) the game will be called off at 3.00pm Friday. I'm not a pessimist, just a realist who you may have realised by now takes an avid interest in the weather.

Make the most of tomorrow 'cause you may not see them again for a while!

By sitting on their arses in the first instance and leaving the Tranmere game alone and then giving their all to get fit for Hartlepool and performing positively.

Yes, I've got an interview on Wednesday 6th January so I sincerely hope so! Please wish me luck. Cheers and merry Christmas to all!

I wouldn't. As much as I enjoy a Christmas game, this one is massive and IMO is well left alone at the moment. Let's not shoot ourselves in the foot. It goes without saying we need our stronger players available for as many games as possible from here on in. With the Swindon game off, a bare patch is just what we need.

is that the second time he has failed to start the second half? Says it all really.

met him tonite at ower ladies church Christmas fare and siad he wud luv to cum back anyone ave him who is he sorry so sorry been on the bozze agian lol roylearmy
