I'd think they might close that off if away fans are being put in the chaddy side of the MSL.

 

Then again, isn't there only one turnstile for that paddock, I suppose they can open up some of the Chaddy ones and leave the gate between the two stands open.

There are 2 turnstiles directly into that paddock. 

Anyone know (officially) why the fans in the main stand paddock (Chaddy road end) have been kicked out yet? 
 

It’s clear the dugout areas haven’t been overly extended so is it to move the away fans in there?

Have a chat with them on Saturday or next Tuesday

Good idea I’d not thought of that!

Any other pissed off main stand paddock dwellers on here after struggling to find decent replacement seats following the limited notice from the club about the closure?

Yes. I don’t mind development and open to changes but not handled well and could have been done better in my opinion. I got an email 24hrs before they went on sale. 
 

It’s a shame as I’d have liked to have seen where people who sit around me are relocating to before committing as you form a community on match days with those people but don’t always have contact away from match days!

Rooney wages innit. 

He's deferred a portion so all staff can be paid!

30mins in. Good job Matt, interested in listening to the last 90mins. 
 

I ain’t a fan of KE. Something about him doesn’t seem right to me. Felt it as soon as he jumped on Twitter and knew it would end the way it did with him on there. I’ll continue to listen and see if my mind can be changed though.

Hasn't Wheater come out previously and said that he accepted furlough? And the club said in their "heavy dog" statement that all financial issues with Wheater had been resolved...

Yeh he agreed, no reason not to really.  The issue was the ‘the top’ up part of it. He’s on like £3k a week i reckon and furlough tops out at £2.5k per month. That’s a drop of £9.5k per month, he won’t have accepted that. He’ll have wanted some top up money from the club which I’d say is understandable and this is the figure that was the issue.

Agree. Pleased for him. Love the classic line he comes out with too:

 

"It's a massive club and once I heard about the interest, there was only one place I wanted to come," said the former Linfield and Oldham player.

 

Haha kept it simple, not sure the Sunderland lot would understand much more with his broad Irish accent haha.

A massive club, great opportunity, bit hes at league 1, he came from,league 1. He isnt Capable of going above that sadly.

Disagree, but we’ll see how it goes for him. 

Carl Winchester has gone to Sunderland. Great move for the lad.

Does this pretty much confirm Scholes doesn't really want to be a manager? 

Yeh. He ain’t bothered.
 

He commented when on BT shortly after leaving his role on us that he got bored with the office/scouting side of the job but enjoyed the coaching.

I don't think there will be too many tears shed over her departure, but she is another indicator of how we are run, a symptom rather than the cause. As can be seen by the length of this thread.

The staff at the club are upset she’s got the boot. She was well liked by most and went above and beyond that the new fella want do I’m sure. I wish him well of course but shame we can’t do things the right way yet again!

From my understanding Natalie went above and beyond during lockdown as the only staff member kept fully employed. AL is clearly intimidated by her and her ability to guide the ship in the right direction.

It looks like the trust will end up buying the club. They've raised around £700000 by crowd funding. Players have been sold for quite a bit of money as well.

Sold their training ground as well to Preston. The same one Wigan bought from Bolton when they went into admin.

Sorry I confused you. Just saying, to everyone really. Why not speak with the man, come back, give us the tale. It would be a well read piece, or it would appear it would be.

Agree this would be a great idea. I wanted to hear what an ex employee had to say though as that would be another angle on things rather than me sitting face to face with Barry for a chat.

Again?. Don't take this personal super_blue, it could have been just about any other poster on here. I have Barry's mobile number ( well I did, I've not used it in a long while) why don't I see if I can arrange a meeting and then you can come back and tell us all about it, what was said etc. Better from the horses mouth.

Sorry I’m confused with your reply! Again? Why would I want to speak to Barry Owen? I was talking about wanting to hear what an ex players opinions are of him as he’d worked along side him.

What the hell has happened to his hair and eyebrows. I know the barbers were shut for a while and it may have been a DIY job, but bloody hell.

 

On a serious note, what a brilliant half hour that was. I'm sure he could have lifted the lid on more stuff if it had gone on much longer.

I suspect he has alopecia! 
 

If someone more switched on to the oldham situation would have asked questions more would have come out for sure. Would have loved to hear him talk about Baz.

love him or hate him....Mr Gerrard on his career. His experiences with us are about 1hour, 44 mins 30 in approx and 30 mins of  chat....

 

Touches on Corney and Al, some funny stories too....Lots of swearing I am afraid NOT for the little ones

 

 

Fair play amongst the crap that he talks about he enjoyed his time with us by the sounds of it! 
 

He was so close to giving some nuggets on Barry Owen but got distracted and never came back to him. 
 

Absolute class prank on Ollie Banks. 
 

Interesting to hear his sacking was overturned and was paid off before leaving.

It was a trip. Never a red card. 

Nah it was dangerous. He was off the floor when he tackled him so out of control. Daft as there was cover so no need to make tackle! 
 

You’d scream red if someone hacked down one of our boys at BP like that ha ha.
