Won't he have had one at Stinkport (who's fans rave about him by the way).

If Die Hard is anything to go by he's been wearing the same vest for 26 years!

Wow. You've just written a post to prove Robs quote of 1600 was wrong by 5. 5!!!!!!!! And you were then disproved by Robs quote from the official site anyway. Maybe you should have ended the post with ner ner ner. The club whine that attendances are dwindling yet still piss fans off by moving them when they've already made their choices and paid for their tickets. They have a right to feel put out. Also, while I'm on my soapbox (yes, I've had a :censored: day!) starting replies with 'Yawn' kinda implies your disinterested in what's being said, as well as making a mockery of the whole idea of a forum. "Forum - a meeting or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged."

Ooh it sounds like Battlestar Galactica.......

That might be why Barry's so reluctant to answer questions on his role within the club......

So where do we go from here? Zero has put a lot of good ideas forward and Lags is very passionate about the whole thing BUT like them or not we still have a Trust that is supposedly doing something even if we're not sure what it is. Someone on the other thread suggested a meeting/team of trust members plus fans that could get together and barnstorm it out. I like that but would it just lead to a bigger trust? It's all getting a bit animal farm.... I wish I could have got to the meetings tonight. Wouldn't have had a clue what they were on about but it would have been enlightening!

This is a really good post BUT it seems to me that you have all the ideas but want somebody else to go and do it. Well who? Me? Why should I? Why should I put the time and effort into doing something that you can't be arsed doing? Truth is I don't have what it takes. I'm far from unintelligent but I don't have the gumption for taking on the trust and remoulding it into what you think it should be. The only person that can do that is you. And if you did I'd be right behind you. And while we're at it I call bollocks on this one too. Nobody would resort to fighting or throwing punches at a trust agm. Jesus it's not Ukrainian parliament for heavens sake! If it makes you feel better I will personally come along and sit next to you at the meeting and make sure nobody throws a punch at you. Except Rummy. I get the impression he might be a bit of a handy lad so let's not upset Rummy or the deal is off ok? Joking aside, I think Lags is right in saying if you want to change things then join up, come along, and make yourself heard. You may be surprised, people may actually listen to you. It could be one of those tub thumping revolutionary moments that you see on the TV. Like minded converts carrying you round on their shoulders chanting your name! Imagine if Martin Luther King wrote a letter to a few mates saying "I have a dream. I was thinking of organising a rally and telling everyone about it and starting a revolutionary movement that would change history but I'm watching TV with the kids that night so someone else do it. Good luck, MLK." Don't think it would have gone far. Zeroes for President! Edit..... See, I can't even work the bloody multi quote system. I'd be useless come the revolution.....

Harkins doesn't ring a wrong number, you answer the wrong phone.....

Depends on the fancy dress.... Hi mate, nice habit, who you supposed to be? Whoopi Goldberg That's :censored: mate, you look nowt like her, she's black for a start I know but blacking up would offend someone apparently so I just look like a tit dressed as a nun.....

I'm actually starting to think relegation wouldn't be such a bad thing. Now I wouldn't know where to start looking and can't really be arsed, but, if I was a betting man, and I'm not saying I am, I wouldn't mind betting that teams that go down come up with more fans. Relegation means the team is more than likely playing :censored:e football and that invariably leads to dwindling attendances. Hopefully (and this is where my theory could fall on its arse), the following year, the team would be strong enough to go back up. A promotional season, albeit in the 4th tier, would mean better football, a positive vibe about to the place, and hopefully the town, reasons to go watch the match, hence higher attendances. More than likely, these new, or returning fans, will come back for the start of the new season, maybe even buying season tickets? A full house (ok, optimistic) - a better crowd creates a better atmosphere which could be the catalyst for a good start to the season, which breeds confidence, which leads to winning more games and so on and so forth. I think we're in a rut. Not just on the pitch, but at the club as a whole. The disappointment of a relegation could be outweighed by the furore over a following promotion? Or am I just talking bollocks?

I reckon David mellors grandson would be crossing the ball, it'll be that far in the future....

Has the recession hit other clubs crowds though?

Not sure either of them were scousers though? Once heard a rumour that Genghis Khan was a gawbie though....

Fiver paid. And on the same day too!!!

What the hell did he say to them at half time?!

Just paid my fiver for 4 or more goals against Mansfield. Forgot all about it!!!!! sorry…….

Awesome. A genuine laugh out loud moment!

Hold it at my pub if you like. Can get 130 seated in the function room......

Nah, that's not a shameless plug. This is a shameless plug. http://www.owtb.co.uk/index.php/topic/44279-gratuitous-plug/?view=getnewpost

Yeah I seem to remember that too?

Sure when JCH got booked they called him Jason too!

So a quick gratuitous plug and with a very tenuous Latics link.... Me and my partner have just taken over The Royal George Hotel in Greenfield. Well, I say we, she's the tenant/landlady, I'm just her bitch really! Anyway, stripping one of the bedrooms this morning and I found this written on a wall..... Decorated by Kenny Clements, 30th January 1992. I wonder?! Could it be THE Kenny Clements from back int th'day? I do remember a match programme from the early 80's that had an interview with him, in which he said he painted cartoons on his kids bedroom walls. Nice photo of him stood in said room too, resplendent with that magnificent moustache. Wonder if he branched into the world of painting and decorating? Anyway, like I said, shameful plug. Feel free to pop in for a pint and a bite to eat in the restaurant! Oh when the blues!!!

Preordered? Or did you get lucky and find one in stock?

I hated them with a passion!

I'm not sure it is wrong. Anticlimax is the polar opposite of climax. If it had been something that certain people perceive as uber exciting then there would have been people climaxing all over the place! Preclimatic would suggest there was climax still to come? Wow, I've got a headache now!
