Somebody who as just got to the front of the que.

Unless they was mistaken and it's the 200 restricted view people have mentioned

2000 extra tickets just been released.

There was an artical on the OS saying that might not know the date of or JPT game till early Jan because if we got to the 3rd round and got a replay we would play that on the 17th in stead of the JPT game.

He also said that Liverpool anticipated an attendance of 28,000 .

 

Very good interview with him on R5 , obviously chuffed to bits for the supporters.

Listened to the interview and thought the attendance seemed like a low estimate, Havent and waterlooville and luton both had attendance of over 40000 at Anfield in the cup although Reading only had 31000, hopefully its around the 40000 mark to bring in an extra few £££'s. Luton and Reading was midweek replays as well.

Would it be worth forfeiting the Richards sell on clause for first choice of any players they want to send out on loan? or even change it to only 10%.

Does anybody know if league 1 games on sky are shown in the states?

Just read another post about how we could improve the attendance and come up with an idea of my own. Ive not thought much into the finaces of it all but think it could work in the long term.

We could give a 15 game (cat b and c games) season ticket to all 11 year olds in the borough through schools, id guess there is about 2500 so plenty of room in the chaddy or rre for cat b and c games. Obviously all wont turn up but if we could a few hundred coming every week who would then pay to get in the cat a games and spend while at the ground i think we could cover admin cost of the promotion then hopefully we could get a couple of hundred who would buy a season ticket the following season or even turn up for a few games. There must be loads of kids out there who are utd or city fans but would like to watch live football and after a free season going to bp they may want to carry on.

Surley if he is not in Dickovs plans it would be better to pay him off with 1/2 or 3/4 of what he would earn here and give him chance to find another club.

I don't gamble, however I've still got a free bet from when I signed up to Coral for that Latics ticket last season. So come on OWTBer's. What should I put on (Latics related) with that free cash to bet with and way? the best (in my view) will get the dosh on the nose!! It's only a fiver mind. but if it wins I'll donate the lot to playershare.

Ive just put a £40 bet on us with coral to finish above hartlepool, stevenage, tranmere, walsall and yeovil. It pays 4/1 which i think is very good. Not going to make you much off a fiver tho.

worth a punt

90 to win it on Betfair

 

12.5 for promotion

 

Smith 55 for top scorer

 

Preston second favs at 9.5

I'd lay that if I had the money

Smith is 80/1 at skybet, got to be worth an each way bet.

Id like that eventually all the corners would be filled in, think makes a massive difference to the atmosphere and also with it prob being the coldest ground in the country a section which has some kind of heating system for the winter games, for an extra cost obviously.

If i remember right we was told that any money brought in from the sales of players will go back in to the playing budget for this season cos the running cost was already budgeted for.

Just seen Sheff Wed have had a bid of £200k knocked back but its apparently close to Rotherhams asking price. If we get Feeney off the wage bill would 250k or so be within our budget using the Stephens cash? The figures i heard a few weeks ago was that Rotherham wanted close to £500k.

My link

once the council has coffed up i suspect...then be moaning we dont have enough to build a new stand

From what i read the council have a clause that the money can only be spent on a new stand.

Baffling post of the day award.

I thought the same but went on the Burnley board and noticed this is copied and pasted from there.

6th pic down, he the one everyone raving about?

Going off the pics think he is def the guy that somebody mentioned on here.Marc de Val Fernandez

Just checked and Tarky is only out for 4-6 weeks, i thought it was 6-8 weeks so he could be back for the Yeovil game if all goes ok.

I don't think a CB in on loan jut to sit on the bench. Small tanned lad is the lad from real Madrid C team.

 

Do need another striker though.

Think we need cover for Mvoto and Diamond till Tarky is back, i wouldnt be confident with just Carr as back up for the first month or so.

I think Josh Parker and Euan Holden will both sign this week and maybe the small tanned midfielder who played at Mossley, after that i think it will be loan signings which will prob come the week before the season starts. Prob a center back, midfielder and a striker but still think we need some experience.

He played as a striker at Mossley. I thought he was the lad with red boots who played the ball through for the goal but ive read in other posts that it was him who scored so not 100%.

same 7 as last time then

Any names for them? im guessing Brandy, Holden and Diamond are 3 and the German keeper but no idea of the others.

I didnt go on sat so didnt get to see any of them, does anybody have any definate names for any of them or any ideas of who they might be? Says on the OS that there will be 7 involved tonight.

he would be an easy signing for us .

 

Dickov knows what he can do and will only get better and Mvotos here now so Tank would settle

Dont think Tonks and Mvoto speake anymore, apparently fell out over a girl around christmas.

Are there going to be trams running on the section of railway near the site?

No i dont think so, just on the line to Oldham, it splits around newton heath i think. The nearest staion would be Hollinwood which is around a mile away.

To be honest i think a lot of the people who was against Failsworth soon realised that we needed the move more than an OL postcode, im sure there would be a few who would complain but if it was the only site available then it would be the best thing for the club. Do they think Rochdale complain about having an OL postcode?
