Flippin heck that's two of my four numbers - don't I win a tennis ball or at least a small flag!!

Might have to buy another line!!

Hi Matt - Just sent £ 20 via Paypal - it's a bargain just to keep reading the "information" and "explanations" provided on the board by the people (who think they are) in the know.

Thanks for all the good work - keep it up.

Kind regards - Brian.

Take the job Lee.

Your first game is away in the Plastic Pizza Cup at the Stadium of Wet Dreams.

Don't forget your clipboard and dress up well - it's colder than Brizzle

Fascinating that India is yet to make it as a football nation given the size of its population, I suppose the game has traditionally come a long way behind cricket and hockey.

I was able to attend an Indian Premier League game a few years ago.  All the cheap seats had been sold and we had to pay £ 1.50 for one of the seats with a better view.

The whole thing was madness. Most of the crowd had no idea of the rules of the game, and they only knew a goal had been scored when the fireworks went off! The entertainment was great (not so god on the pitch!) with singers, bands and the whole crowd joining in as if it were a pop concert! No crowd control and no provision for away fans.

I even bought a replica shirt for under £1.  Happy days

Good news on the contract extension but why does the club feel the need to lie and waste money.

 

Why print a shirt with Hamer 2022 on the back, it's just a complete waste for a club that's supposed to be struggling with finances.

 

The article also states that he went on to become an ever present which is a lie as he missed several games towards the end of the season .. small things like this aren't great and if a fan can pick up on them why can't the people at the club.

Well if you file your Annual accounts late at Companies House the late filing penalty is only £ 150.00 for one month late - that's 3 shirts - oh I forgot they were late the year before so we are on double penalties £ 300.00 - that's 7 shirts so far - next month the penalties increase to £ 375 x 2 - enough shirts for the first team and shuck!!

Ah but everything's great, he knows the President so we will be in a "special relationship" I assume!!

Oh by the way, are our new kit manufacturers doing a club flat cap - i know they have in the past but I want to dress like the "Director of Football".

Done and the very best of luck with it.

Very little has been said about catering in the ground in the last few months, but the grub on offer is, shall we say tired.

We do home and away games and part of the match day experience is something to eat and a brew. If a ground doesn't have a decent burger van, it's the nearest chippy and if that's no good it Weatherspoons.

If the food is good I don't think it would matter which side of the ground it was located, people would be drawn to it!!

Cheers

Lots of managers have arrived at English clubs with little or no English. So again... what’s your point? I’m not convinced by the blokes rep but let’s not just be lazy and bash him for everything before he even turns up.

 

 

You know I read kowenick's words of wisdom and don't agree with most of them but it's my choice.

Having had my say, I can and do agree with the above. Lets not knock the guy before he's done anything, give him a chance.

Bonjour Laurent.

(note to catering, can we get rid of the pies and larger and have croissants, red wine and cheese please)

Let's get our moneys worth from Giles Coke tonight. A full game and no doubt a hat trick.

In the midst of negotiating use of the nieces car as mine's in the garage for repairs. We're currently at her brother, my wingman, getting her dad to take her shopping Saturday morning and we pay for her taxi to and from work in the afternoon with potential flowers and Sunday lunch thrown in when we get back...... We're moving on to sorting Brexit on Monday.

Will you be in the bright yellow V W Beetle? One with green "L" plates and a sticker saying "it,s not my fault - it's fitted with a black box".

My second club is Fethiyespor which is near my house in Turkey (I know - don't start!!) They are Turkish league 2 although its almost as good as some schoolboy teams.

Like us they get about 4000 per game watching - many ex Pats. 

There's no pies but you can get meatballs.

They have two main stands, the one with shade is double the price as the open stand in the sun.

There is scaffolding for the leader of the "singers" to stand to conduct them as required.

There is wire to stop the idiots invading the pitch and giving the away team a piece of their mind - or a good kicking!

3 Weeks ago we played a team from "up north" - 11 hours drive away - they brought 3 fans!

Oh and to increase the crowd for the last 4 games admission has been reduced to 1 lira (£ 0.13)|| from 10 lira.

And we think Oldham has it tough!.

It's the complete silence from the club I'm struggling with... 

Surely AL isn't in charge of of upboats and downboats as well as picking the team and kitchen staff.

At least I won't get downboated for this post

Alledgedly, away manager was pushing for it to be off.

 

Ohh well it means now I will be in Royton town centre issuing Green belt leaflets against the GMSF.

Just been into Royton. There's a space next to the "God botherers" outside the old Yorkshire Bank.  Wrap up warm and don't forget a Trust Oldham collection bucket!

(In fact the God Botherers may be able to help with your Green Belt objections!!).

-4 tonight in Royton (Wednesday) but nowt below -1 Thursday/Friday BUT if that bit near the main stand is Frozen then it will be off!

It's being reported as a straight red because the press association representative didn't see the first yellow, nor did they see the 2nd yellow when he was sent off. 

 

The BBC video footage clearly shows him getting booked and then with his red card being 2 yellows. 

 

However because all news outlets use Press Association for their stats it is being reported as a straight red. Despite the BBC contradicting their own footage by doing so. 

 

It could be that the ref did mean to give him a straight red card. However we will find out on Saturday as if Clarke plays it was 2 bookings, if he doesn't it was a straight red. 

Just had a look at the FA suspension list and it shows "Peter" 1 match ban.

They don't even have his surname on it - Good job the don't run a brewery, we would never have a piss up!!

Done - You asked for honest feedback - You have it.  Most of it is good. I have no issues with the trust.

Having been involved in unpaid work Scouts, Societies etc I know you can't please all the people all the time, BUT most people who pass negative judgment, comments  etc never

get off their to help!!

Rant over. Roll on Saturday.

Who is running the barge down the River Don to the game? I missed the one in London, count me in.

I might be wrong but has anyone thought we just might be keeping everything under the hat just to prevent Fulham doing some forward planing?

Ah well perhaps not!

Jack : Great, The Referee was wonka and the Huddersfield fans are fuc*ing sheep shaggers!

Just seen the T V games for round 3 and it's NOT us.

Just a thank you to everyone that frequented The Swan. Gary has a good day, whch I am pleased for him.

A big thank you to Gary and his Missus. A good welcome. Quality cask ales and with a bonus of free chips. Also very convenient for H M P Maidstone!

Thanks for the tip off. Will be back in a couple of seasons when Maidstone join us in league 2.

When!

Is there a totting up. You know after 5 warnings that's a one post ban or is it a Miller, red and you are off for 3?

I like it - is there a league table of bans, warnings or transfer to the Bin Dippers!

Think I might stay in The Swan. The Master Brew is top drawer and it’s onlt £3.50 a pint!!
