In the main, yeah. Same types that upload pictures of their 5am pints at Manchester Airport. -
Season Tickets

I don't think it'll be dramatically less. The amount of fans to declare staunchly on social media that they won't be getting one only for doing a massive u-turn and get one ("I'm going to give them one last chance") has been ludicrous. -
Transfer Rumours 24/25

TBF I’ve heard the same rumour from a very good source. He wants ti come to us too is the further thing I heard. -
Who out of this team...
Frankly Mr Shankly replied to philliggi's topic in The opinions4u Terraces - Latics Forum
Says more about @GKing521 than it does about @mcfluff1985. Christ on skates. -

Rock bottom was Notts County when we were 2nd from bottom on Boxing Day. I don't expect us to ever occupy that position ever again. -
Transfer Rumours 24/25

Indeed. We were in L1 which is probably a tier too high for him. Chesterfield fans love him and are hoping he’s retained by the way. -

From the Chesterfield forum: Only reply to that was someone saying they didn't think any out of contract players would be getting new deals. Jeff King's the obvious one, given our glaring RB omission. Wouldn't mind Joe Quigley. Can you imagine the sheer hysterical piss boiling if we brought in Ollie Banks? -
National League Thread
Frankly Mr Shankly replied to GKing521's topic in The opinions4u Terraces - Latics Forum
Really not arsed who goes up. I’m not in a rush to go back to either club. thought Alty looked tidy for a period in the first half but they were simply outmuscled by Bromley, who ultimately had more nous. It’ll cost Bromley a lot of money having to rip up that 4G pitch of theirs. Do they have to do that and relay a new one over the summer if they win the final? -

They should have a mega cup competition. The super cup of super cups. Every team in the world involved and takes a decade to complete. Deportivo Morón away on a Tuesday night for the willy-wavers. George topoff would be over it like a bonnet. *takes off marketing wanker hat* -
Playing Squad - Summer 24
Frankly Mr Shankly replied to oafcmetty's topic in The opinions4u Terraces - Latics Forum
The only one I'd have from them is Emmanuel Dieseruvwe although he has a year left on his contract and probably has interest from L2 clubs. Had a great season in a pretty shit team. -
Micky Mellon Sack Watch

Excellent post Lags. We have to get behind him, and park those unsure feelings. He gets a good crack of the whip with players that are 60-70% of who he wants. He's divisive in your opinion because he said things that you don't want to hear. He may have chosen one or two a bit more wisely, granted. But he's calibrating expectation levels of the fanbase. He's telling it how it is for the first time when he's been toeing the line keeping a lid on his frustrations for six months. It's raw, fairly unpalatable and resets us for a completely new team over the next two seasons. His team. Fans expectations have long been an extra hurdle we've had as a millstone round our neck. It's part of the reason for decades of underachievement. Ambition's important, and we should have overall aims and a plan. But until all this #HMSpisstheleague bollocks stops we'll continue to be saddled with it. -

This Wealdstone interview has seemingly been more about how he's hurting the feelings of Latics fans hanging on his every word than the substance of what it actually was. Going on record, and saying in a roundabout way that, if promotion ASAP is the overall aim, the fundimentals of the playing side of the football club have to be spot on. If it ruffles a few feathers of some Latics fans who are umming and ahhing about ST's then so bit it. He's been itching to get a lot off his chest since November. That much was clear. -

A division of physical cloggers against a division of entitled, wrapped-in-cotton-wool kids. It'll last a season, tops. BIN. -
We’ll see based on length of contracts he offers to those out of contract players. If it’s two years or more, he sees them as long term. If it’s one year deals, he’s managing his budget and they’re likely to be back up options. what I’m saying is, our budget will not extend to 9-10 quality signings IMO. I expect 4-5 to come in as players who will be earmarked as first choices. The rest will be lower cost options and I’d imagine some of those will probably be McGahey, Fondop et al.

Halifax are all over the place in their play-off match. I'm reassessing my opinion of Tyler Golden as a summer target for us.
