going back to the few glory days when every man woman and child was buying hats,scarves,shirts,banners and emptying the latique shop everyday,,,i got the impression that alot of people were jelous of alan ,saying anyone could do his sales and marketing job at that time,,,of course they could,,all they had to do was open the door and watch people flood into the shop spending a fortune,,,,of course it doesnt work like that and i think alan should be applauded for his efforts at that time when the club had no experience whatsoever of being successful and it must have been a really challenging experience to combat the huge growth the club was experiencing.....and i just think alans name has been spread throughout the borough by the negative people of that era and the folk who are pleased to slag him off,have not got a clue why they are slagging him off
thanks alan for your support you have shown the club over the last 20 odd years and i know if it wasnt for you and a few others oafc would have died a few years ago
