wow. brilliant.

Log off for a bit or calm down, it's not that difficult.

Can everyone just chill the fuck out, or just knock the snot out of each other next week - preferably away from the football - and be done with it? It's tiresome.

Yep, back in the good ol' days of the 70s, 80s and 90s you never would have had football fans running on the pitch and fighting each other.

I was thinking more of the shouting into someone's face rather than the 'fighting' - but you make a valid point, there have always been cretins fighting at football matches.

It's amazing how little responsibility people want to take for their own behaviour. Just because they've paid for a ticket it entitles them to act like monumental dickheads especially the awaydayboyz.

It's 21st century entitlement. It's happening more and more, the internet bleeds into The Real World.

Hi folks - pre-seaon friendlies have started, so it's time to open up signups for the new season.

 

We'll run the same format as last year - pretty much all the details can be found in this thread - I won't put it all in here again.  Entry is £10, no inflation rises here! This will be used to fund the running of the site for the season, and the rest split 50:50 between the OWTB pot and the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation. Previous divisional winners get free entry this season (assuming they still want to play!).

 

To enter, send your £10 via paypal (please use 'friends and family' to avoid fees) to oafcmetty@gmail.com (put your OWTB username as the reference). Or let me know if you want my bank details and you can send that way.

 

Then drop a message below indicating you've sent it, and I'll tick you off.

Nice selection of acts, glad you both enjoyed your Glastonbury.

Did FourTet/Kieran Hebden do a DJ set or was it his own stuff?

We've had some pretty good feedback with this, again - thanks everyone.

Thanks everyone, if you have any issues - let me know.

Ta,

Matt.

I didn't realise this! I wondered what had happened to the bronze thing I'd signed up for in the past. 

 

I've just reactivated the subscription. Will it auto renew every month or will I need to do it manually? I couldn't see an option for this in the orders/subscriptions page.

I'm fairly certain it auto-renews, I'll keep an eye on it.

Thanks everyone for the uptake.

So have I although I'm guessing Matt and Co need to pay for the upkeep of the site somehow so I'll live with it.

We are skint, and the dollar is about £1.20.

We've absolutely tried our best to keep ads down to the lowest we can possibly have without overload and intrusion - although we've just recently added OWTB Member+ Tier in the subs bit which is £3.50 a month, this removes all ads and also gives us a boost. Bronze tier no longer exists, all members who were on that plan and renewing must opt out if they don't want to continue, all existing Bronze members will be automatically moved into the Member+ tier and will enjoy ad free OWTB at the old price until their plan needs renewing

You can find it here...

https://www.owtb.co.uk/subscriptions/

The emails are can be easily managed as @TheBigDog mentions above. We do not send out email adverts - the only emails that should be generated by the site are those which the user has opted in to, which are usually new posts on subscribed forums or topics.

If there are any problems, please let us know.

Thx,

Matt.

Also, if you simply just want to donate, you can do that too right here...

Thanks to everyone again for their continuing support.

I suppose my old-man music is really more just 90/00's Indie. 

This is the thing I forget, hope you enjoy the festival mate.

They've just announced Badly Drawn Boy on the Acoustic stage... now we're cooking! Who needs all this modern crap? Some scally in a bobble hat will do for me!  

*looks at my pick of Candi Staton*

Probably thinking of @Matt and @Frankly Mr Shankly when I ask this... Anyone you have seen on the Glastonbury lineup this year that you'd suggest, that I may otherwise have missed?  

I have no idea who is top billing at all, anyway - looking from the bottom up (which is usually best)...

Candi Staton, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Say She She, Kanda Bongo Man, Young Fathers, Working Mens Club, Jockstrap, Hot Chip are always good to bop along to - definitely check out Adwaith and Skinny Pelembe.

I can say without any doubt whatsoever that J's list will be completely different to mine.

Route 1 football...

Speaking of which, welcome to the non-league pyramid Route1Rovers. Also, welcome back Droylsden after a restructure.
