flytrap

keep these up, they are much appreciated and very interesting read.

No managers comments either.

I must admit I'm disappointed.

worthington for me, strong in the tackle and very dominant in midfield.

Didn't most of the good chances come after Byfield came on?

I thought we were at our best when Parker was on the field.

I enjoyed today, plenty of chances created on our part that should have been goals. I'm frustrated that we didn't finish them off but I think we have something decent to work with. Looking forward to the season.

Im sorry but as soon as Byfield replaced Parker our attacking threat deteriorated. He didn't know what to do with the ball. I wasn't impressed with him and haven't been for a while.

One further point... Alessandra and O'Grady are equally as weak. We have no depth up front.

The smallest fragment of opposition has a bigger influence the more people are apathetic about this issue. Letters of support will be crucial in the planning stage.

I just think its a joke when you get people saying 'anything above £0 is a bonus' about a full welsh international who has his best years ahead of him.

Mixed feelings for me, there are lots of new players who need to step up to the plate in a competitive league match. Should be interesting, never a dull moment being a 'tic!

Good luck Neil, hope you do well.

Under-rated by a select few moronic latics fans.

We missed a trick there.

Byfield Any Day of the week!

This only proves that all three are

Byfield looks good on paper but he hasn't grasped his chance to get a contract. Next!

Don't forget, this is the worst recession since the 1930's.

Compared with the options we have now, id definately take him.

If we sign the lee hughes we saw at during the first half of the season, great.

Second half of the season... No thanks.

The transport links to the ground too would be second to none and far more accessible than Boundary Park

 

The current bus routes that serve boundary park, 24 181 and 182 would drop you off right outside the ground

 

The 82 and 83 between waterhead/sholver, oldham and manc run straight down manchester/oldham road every 10 mins or better

 

180 and 184 which correct me if im wrong are every 15 mins or better, will provide a direct bus link from saddleworth to the ground

 

And dont forget the metro which will be running to what is now failsworth station with services between rochdale, oldham and manchester.....

 

 

sorry I'll shut up now I sound like a GMPTE spokesperson

 

but the point being is the ground will be a hell of alot easier to get to for most people

I totally agree.

Lets make the move.

Having two teams in one stadium would see them both benefit from reduced costs. I support the idea, we need new ideas to push the club forward.

i dont have any reason to complain about the quality of the kits, my home shirt looks and feels great.

this kit looks excellent too.

Its the pitch mate. Combination of poor growing conditions and the rugby being played on there. Its a great leveller.

Sounds like a fantastic aquisition. I can't wait to see us steam roll Stockport County on the 8th of August!

We're going to be competing in a tough league this year, but with the early signals coming from Penney that he will field a team that is committed to the cause, there is every reason to come to BP this season. The team that was a shower of sh**e in the second half of last season has been shipped off and we can start afresh.

Sounds like he's experienced enough without being old and past it! Its about time we saw some tough tackling at BP, im sick of seeing us being bullied on the pitch! Hopefully we can dish some out ourselves with this signing.

Looks like a good addition.

we need a couple of new central defenders, haining is decent, lets have him.
