  1. Yeah, they have a group of fans that get to a Latics game every year, they came to Oldham vs Leeds last season. They have a cool half-blue/half-red and black flag too, which Franny got them to show off to everyone a few years ago, hehe.
  2. Pleased that we have (reportedly) beaten Peterborough to get him, they're a club on the rise.
  3. He got loads of goal in 02/03 with Macclesfield! Good competition in midfield with Allott, Lee, Whitaker and Stephens now.
  4. This could be something Sky Sports News could run. "It may be 16 days until the new Premier League season, but the Football League kicks off in just 9 days time! And one fan has already set off for the first match..." Then at the end they could give a website for people to make donations.
  5. Very good point. Unless he holds citizenship of an EU member state, this seems like a non-starter to me. (e.g. Chelsea's Ben Sahar's mother is Polish, and he has a Polish passport)
  6. The main problem I have with MK Dons is that they don't have a proper set of fans. There aren't families with generations of fans like proper clubs. They only get decent crowds because they give out free tickets like they're going out of fashion. And if you go, you'll notice lots of Arsenal, Chelsea, Man U hats and shirts. MK Dons are a club with no history, no identity, and no soul.
  7. Man U will get moved to noon or 6:00, and some of the decent Man U fans will come to our game as well
  8. Man U have Boro the nearest Sunday, I doubt they'll play both games at the same time!
  9. AFC Wimbledon are already up to the Blue Square South! I'm going to pretend MK Dons don't exist all season on a League One forum I post on, don't give them the attention they crave...
  10. The gate money gets split in cup games doesn't it? This will be much better than the usual 2500 in the 1st round at BP!
  11. They're expected to lose another 15 for failing to agree a CVA, so are set to start the season on minus 25.
  12. We'll play one of the 18 most Northern teams iout of the 36 who either are in League Two, or finished in the bottom half of League One. So by my reckoning: Hartlepool Crewe Port Vale Hereford Stockport Rochdale Darlington Chesterfield Rotherham Bradford Morecambe Bury Accrington Macclesfield Notts County Chester Lincoln Peterborough
  13. I predict Thompson to come back strongly, get a run of games for the first time at the club, show what got him adulation from Tranmere fans and a cap for Ireland, and finish a respectable 4th in fans' player of the year voting. or he'll play twice, get injured, and be released in January. =p
  14. Bet he scores more than Ricketts! (To The tune of Umbrella (Manics' version, from 44 seconds in) ) When he comes on he'll score a goal When he starts he'll score another You can't have our Chris O'Grady You can't have our Chris O'Grady Grady Grady! O! O! O! He's our Chris O'Grady! Grady Grady! O, O, O, O-O-O! straight into an easy Chriiiiiis O'Grady! *clap-clap, clap-clap, clap* Chriiiiiis O'Grady! *clap-clap, clap-clap, clap* Chriiiiiis O'Grady! *clap-clap, clap-clap, clap* Chriiiiiis O'Grady! *clap-clap, clap-clap, clap*
  15. If we offer him a better deal at the end of the 2 years, but he refuses and moves on, we are indeed entitled to a fee. But lets not worry about that now! This is what a Man U reserves regular watcher, and Man U's Football Manager researcher has to say about him: "Kieran Lee [is brilliant]. really surprised we've let him go on a free. you'll love him, very good footballer, incredibly versatile, best as a full-back but good in midfield as well. Championship standard at least. that's actually annoyed me "
  16. It was an own goal too! His celebration was an homage to the one he did after scoring his 1st goal ever
  17. You will be able to use your TeamCard as your season ticket in the new stands.
  18. My sister's boyfriend is Billyclub's drummer. "Awesome" Dawson. =D
  19. I thought they weren't coming back out. There was no mention of it all day. Same with a lot of other people methinks.
  20. He'd got over his illness, but had a knock.
  21. Just asked my dad, he says that even after being a regular in the side for so long, he was suddenly left out for a few games. Then when he did get on the pitch, funnily enough against Blackpool, he lamped one of their players after being hacked down a few times, and was soon sold to Blackpool! So it looks like Jimmy Frizz fell out with him, possibly due to Alan's temper.
  22. Don't forget to use your TeamCard when you buy yours, in effect you get £6 back.
  23. This slurms is a joke account right?
