  1. Interested in what sort of finance they are offering. After the last lot managed to lose the required FCA registration, via spectacular incompetence, I did offer to do the work to get it back but never got a reply.
  2. Is it not just the case that more people comment on home games because more people see them?
  3. It's just how it is. Most of these clubs built up their hardcore support when they were playing regional football and they could be back home in an hour or so. They're not suddenly going to find hundreds of people who fancy a 450 mile round trip on a Tuesday night.
  4. Not a subject I'll be very voluble or controversial about given I work for what is essentially an Israeli firm but I do like a good dose of irony and I reckon the Rochdale by-election pretty much redefined it. So, the Labour Party has had all sorts of problems with anti-semitism (I'm naive; until that popped into view a few years ago I was unfamiliar with the subject from a left-wing perspective) and clearly hasn't rooted the issue out yet based on the comments of their erstwhile candidate. But the Moslem community are clearly a significant bloc in local politics there and Galloway won the seat by, in large part, playing to them. Who knows, maybe there was broad agreement with the Labour candidate's public view? Whatever the truth of that and whatever other factors may or may not be involved it absolutely needs rooting out wherever it shows its face. And that's it from me on politics!
  5. I reckon Micah Richards giving us a mention activates the sell on clause
  6. Yep, there have never been any dodgy British owners.
  7. Still think he should have concentrated on his golf
  8. I think it's relevant for real outposts, and Cornwall is certainly that
  9. We actually started quite quickly but unfortunately Norwood missed a sitter after three minutes. It was sharply downhill from there!
  10. Not sure it's just budgets, more just simple geography.
  11. We really should appreciate how lucky we were to get a local man doing it for the right reasons
  12. Just leave it. I fell out with him for reasons I don't really understand but decide the better option was just not to engage. It's not as if you are suddenly going to start agreeing on everything and it's adding nothing.
  13. I think we did for Kenny Jackett at Swansea in 2007 and have an idea there were several more who didn't get past a defeat against us that season
  14. Give them headphones with that on a loop at home games
  15. Did it? It was only his third game in charge and he'd won the last two
  16. Barry Owen is a director of at least four of them
  17. Absolutely not. Kev lives next door to my mum, I'm sure he'd vote for Frank
  18. Absolutely true. In a 5-4 win on the astro at Crystal Palace Sports Centre before a match at Selhurst Park
  19. He's not quite on the Kevin Sinfield level of fund raising and he's not got his yet
  20. Even by OWTB standards this is a bizarre discussion. Clearly if a top 50s/60s player played now in the style of how football was then he'd get absolutely mullered. He wouldn't.
  21. I once scored for OASIS vs the Supporters Club from inside my own half. So I was better than Pele.
  22. Or perhaps he'd be better trained, fitter and would still be the best of his generation.
