BLUMAX

I clicked on 30+ thinking we was still in 2010,, 4o this year, remember running round Rocky Road end only watching half the game. One thing about most of the fans who where Teenagers in the seventies,you had to have your wits about you most games, the Pre-segregation era was a bit of an eye opener, pushed your loyalty to the limit.

Surely they would want to be one of the exclusive 92 Clubs and put Tameside on the map? Look how our pinch me season put the town of Oldham on the Map, long before Riots and bent politicians!!!

I disagree, Tameside isnt within walking distance to The Stadium of Manchester and the newly proposed FCUM ground, Failsworth is. Despite the OL Postcode people in Failsworth see themselves as Mancunians and even over exaggerate the accent to get this across, yes I Know some die hards from there but overall it is Red and Sky Blue. Tameside has a lot of City and United fans but also has a lot of floaters who we could attract, they do not see themselves as Mancunians.

Being a Royton based Lifelong fan, I would definitely want it to stay as local as possible,BUT, if Tameside was the way forward I would support it. I am there every other weekend with my lads Football Team and you can see the massive difference between the forward thinking Council there and the joke that is OMBC. Their would be a lot of floating fans over there who would be attracted by a League Football team and if we shared the Curzon ground there is a lot of room for expansion. Failsworth is Manchester in everything but name, it would have been a disaster!

Met him at an Awards evening as my mates company sponsored his shirt that season, very quiet, pleasant lad, so quiet in fact the Club also put the Bubbly Paul Warne on our table,Warney being the lad he is brought him out of himself as the night went on. Definitely none of the "Big I am" with him, no age at all R.I.P. Richard

He also loved his stay here and has a lot of affection for the area and the Club,still helps out local Amateur Clubs with donations for Auctions etc

I would think most of us at the game could safely say today's referee couldn't run a Bath, I definitely thought Kennedy was the most influential player on the pitch second half

Shocking performance, lost control and lost respect of everybody in the ground.

Good Professional performance, read danger well and got rid of the ball when needed.Difference between the two teams in my opinion.

Got to give credit to the little lads who could take it as much as give it out,Irwin took a lot of kicks as did Mark Ward,2 seasons without missing a game.

Thought I was losing my Marbells when I heard that before!!!!

Is that the San Pauli song?

Good shout Pete. Was you stood near the Corner flag,looking at the pitch from the right hand side?

Luckily they had their Phrase books with them!

Sunny Royton

It has started happening already Tom, the staff at lancaster club have served their notice including a very good groundsman who surely they could have found a job for? Roytonians, who have hired the Cricket pitch for last 6 years had been made homeless and they are now amalgamating with Royton, the Portakabin was moved from Failsworth this weekend and the pitch is being dug up very soon.

Like I said,nearly all live in these areas,lol. I would rather yje ground was over your end Ste, even Tameside rather than failsworth, think theres a lot more floating fans over that side of Town.

Its where Westwood Tesco is now.

Chadderton,Royton and Shaw are Latics hotbeds,even the diehards originally from Westwood,Northmoor and Glodwick all live in these areas now.

Ossie was the best player I ever saw on our Plastic pitch, ran the game from the Centre circle,absolute class.

You ask people from Dublin, haven't a clue what that Cork lot are saying

What about the Man rated by Fergie as his best buy,the one and only Dennis Irwin?

Thought he grafted his socks off Saturday and i dont mean in a Carlo headless chicken way.Good footballer, could see him bringing Allesandra on too.

Big,big, difference is that Alessandra has a football brain, not sure if Smalley has a brain at all at times.
