Good signing as full back according to The Times today. ??

There are two reasons. Historically too many people have taken advantage of discounts they are not entitled to while the urnstiles do not have the necessary equipment to keep a proper track of how many have paid what

Agreed. I was sat with Jon Hallworth and Simon Stainrod on the first SAFE day. Dudley came on as a sub and there was a huge roar of enthusiasm. At the time he was the one player we had who could excite the crowd and I had to explain why to Jon & Simon. That was simple - he had speed and speed is always a good thing; without his health problems I'm sure he'd have made a good player

It wasn't overnight, it took two years during which the whole system of Western finance came close to collapse. Do you somehow think Latics are immune to that?

You'd have to assume he doesn't pay his council tax bill. According to my postcode I live in Chelmsford. It's 30 miles away and I've never been there in my life.

On that basis neither is Royton

There's a reason why it's called Boundary Park and it ain't because it's in the town centre

I ued to work with a Hugh Dick and Juliet Blows....

Forget that he played for us. I can't imagine anyone saying it would be a good idea with his track record if he hadn't. Trouble with a capital T.

What on earth makes anyone think his head will be right this time? If three years in a cell isn't enough to make him think then will the possibility of misssing out on a contract do the trick? Madness.

Desperation on both parts..

You'd like to think this whole thread was a wind up but it's hard to be sure. He's had his chance

Which means that Ireland shoudl really be called "Little Britain"!

I think you'll find the outcome hasn't come out yet

That's called naivete

Quite right - it's only for the rich. All that logic says have a bench of 11 players so that every position is covered. And it would deprive us of the spectacle of Jon Hallworth coming very close to scoring when coming on as an emergency at Selhurst a few years ago.

Good luck trying to sell the Torex one!

Not so sure about the "several" Singe - just the one as far as I'm aware! Glad to hear you've srill got it. I actually lent one out the other day to someone who has just started at my office; his father-in-law is a teacher at Bluecoat and I believe used to be involved in doing Latics commentaries for the internet site. There's some good writing there; I guess the issue is how many people would buy such a tale of almost unremtting gloom!! I'm very close to finishing my latest semi-literary project. I've been working for some time on a screenplay featuring a group of exiled Northerners attempting to rescue their bankrupt hometown football club. Quite where the inspiration for that comes from will remain a mystery It's a comedy and I'm very pleased with how it's looking as it nears the state of being ready to be sent off to potential directors, and I do have a few useful contatcts. Look out for the advert casting for extras in advance of the world premiere at The Roxy!

but worth it for the Old Trafford goal surely? I believe he is involved with Truro City now

Re the Chron/Trotman thread. In an OASIS newsletter (pre-Internet days)I once made up a story to fill space that we were keen on signing Sean Macarthy. Three weeks later we signed him. Should I apologise?

Surely paying 19.9% can't be an attractive option for many?
