Incoming in 3...2...1
Does Diego Sideburns still post? He was always on cue with the Paul Scholes article about him being red any time his name was mentioned.
BP about an Ajax style kit. Few others you know are coming subject dependent... Worthy of thread in its own right.

Their numbers are dwindling now - the few who remain are careful to add the phrase “I hope I’m wrong” at the end of their posts…
What's wrong with that? Who doesn't want to go up.

Not the worst, but looks similar to Shrewsbury's and I'd have preferred a 1950s broad blue stripe and tangerine and blue shorts.
Still we got what 28% of the fans voted for in the poll.
Your time will come one day BP. I thought this years might be the year.

That’s weird….as far as I’m aware ST’s have always been non-transferable!
Theoretically. Fair play to the club for understanding what actually happens on occasion.

I’ve been told we have Aldershot (H) on match day 2 so we’ll definitely start the season away.
Fylde please.
ITK.

Wonder why Wigan's attendance hasn't dropped like ours did? They still get the same now as what we did in our last season in the top flight.
We're getting more than we were getting in league 1 a few years ago. Circumstantial. They're a bit yo yo. Still something to aspire to. Same with us... If we were down here 4 or 5 years, 7,000 would be a dim and distant memory. It's the monotony that's the killer.

Did anyone ask him about this approach/style at either of the recent fans forums?
Seems to be lots of vocal opinions on it but don't remember anyone asking the questions that are being asked in here.
He gave an entirely expected generic answer. Not sure what else he could say to be fair.

No, temporary pre-season kit.
Wondered why they hadn't released it yet. Cheers.

Was the kit we played in our new home kit?

I think other club's have raised dugouts
We are still the only ground in the country where the players walk down Steps from the Tunnel to the pitch is that what you are thinking.
That might be it.

l'll let you off for not being shit enough to ever have to think like this.
Spent a season mainly on the bench when at Boundary Park Juniors. Got to wear a very warm all-in-one shellsuit type thing which softened the blow.

Does this mean we're no longer the only club in the country to have raised dugouts or are they staying? Sure I saw it on TV as a quiz question at some point.

he's defo Latics at heart lve heard him on an another teams pod talking fondly of The Old Lookers Stand, whilst admitting he doesnt go any more
He also said he started following United after our decline. I was being a bit facetious. As long as we don't adopt any D.Ream songs as anthems...

The Brad Pitt part is of course just him joking around on the telly. But he is a real fan, well connected, and I am told would be interested in being involved. He doesn't have the fuck-you money to do it alone, but I am certain (genuinely certain, not just internet speculation certain) he'd be interested in hearing from the club.
City fan owner at the moment. Would be great to get a representative for United too.

I'm 15 stone approx and worried about how tight the neck looks. I like the shirt, and have collected football shirts since I was a kid apart from the boycott years but if the neckline is how it looks in pics on the players it won't be worth me buyng one.
I've already seen what my midriff looks like tight running gear... I definitely won't be wearing it.
-
Given the fitting of the shirt, I'm hoping that what it looks like on isn't a concern for anyone over 14 stone.

in terms of attracting the attention of protest movements we would be better advised to look around this issue

seems we are just at the 'send them an email' stage but with the brutality currently being shown, that may change once we start playing matches
You don't have to do too much delving to link any conglomerate with sketchy ties.
Remember the same with Caterpillar a few years back. Fortunately their boots were never for me. Puma Squash 2000 though... Can't wait for a re-release.

@longtimeblue l hear you bumped into my son and he expressed 'winning division 5 is not an achievement' type sentiments?
l have to say l disagree with him (mostly) and also that l have no idea where he gets such Aussie style arrogance towards Sport
His enthusiasm rubbed off on me pal.

would the aldershot game not be the trial run they random do or is that just an EFL thing?
l cant believe stuff like this still excites me at 29 years old
That's the least unbelievable thing about this post.

I don’t know how lucrative the contract with Lees Brewery is but it’s definitely a beer with an acquired taste that in general I would suggest only appeals to our more senior supporters.
An additional real ale facility would be very welcome, whether it would be acceptable to Lees is debatable but it would be nice to have the option.
The Craft in the Main Stand is the best pint I've had at Latics.

As soon as you put our badge and a new sponsor on any shirt, doesn't it automatically become 'bespoke'?

If they're all getting done, it does seem a bit daft to come back on yourself as many times as you'd have to in that last section. Looks good though.
