  1. Ticket now sold. Cheers for the interest and comments gents.
  2. I've just found that its becoming a chore, every other saturday seems to roll round with the inevitable dread that I have to go to BP and watch Latics get beat / outplayed by teams who we should really be better than. I've seen 2 relegations with this, coupled with 17 years in this god awful league, with only the occasional glimps of light at the end of the tunnel. Credit were credits due, Corney and co saved us in our darkest hour, but like any relationship that goes sour, I think the time to seperate has long since come and gone, meaning we're at the current junction were both parties have lost interest.
  3. Thought I'd offer seeing as some of you poor souls are paying £20 a game to get in :S
  4. New stand, near half way line. Works out at £6.81 a game for the remaining games, which is about spot on value for whats on offer. Im genuinly selling this by the way, not just a cheap dig at the team.
  5. He'll be playing on a sunday for Harry Bunns team Saddleworth FC.
  6. How'd he get on on Saturday ? Any notable moments ? Any early impressions as to if he's gonna be better / worse than Broady ?!
  7. More tits here than the fantasy bar by the sounds of things.
  8. Conor Sammon looked like Luca Toni last night against Tarkowski & Mellor. Very naive defending, couldn't read his movement off the ball, and he frequently found himself sitting between the 2 of them - with neither of them taking accountability for him. I like the idea of having 2 ball playing centre halves, but at the end of the day, we need Cliff Byrne (or an experienced centre half on loan - unlikely) in there with Tarkowski (who by all accounts had his worst game for a while last night). Going forward we look like a championship team - the problem being defensively we look like a league 2 team. I'd say we'll have more than enough for most teams in this division going forward, but until LJ bites the bullet and either brings in Byrne or even moves Grounds to Centre Half (Mellor to LB) then I can see us being on the end of as many beatings as we give out !!
  9. The money from the liverpool game was funnelled straight to the contract for Baxter, with the idea of selling him on in 12-18months for a sizable fee, so I imagine he'll be gone in January at the latest. *source was a friend at the club.
  10. Never really been one to gush about players or management, but if anyone was worth it - Tony Philliskirk, take a bow. In modern day football, fans / tabloids plaster people as club legends for anything (Matt Smith for instance), but yet, for people outside the club, Tony Philliskirk is probably just another Caretaker manager. I can't speak highly enough of the fella, having been with the club through the good and bad times (mostly the latter), he's always there when the chips are down ready to help out. Not many people would do what he's doing - managing under 18s in the morning then taking the first team in a massive cup game - always comes across as a class act, keen to do whats best for the club not just what might be good for him. I'd be happy to give him and Paul Gerrard the job FT, but respect to Tony, it might be out of his comfort zone long term. I do think though that in the coming years something should be done to honour him and his efforts, rare we'll ever find a servant as loyal as Tony.
  11. No mention that he tried getting a group of ex players to sue the club for injuries caused because of the plastic pitch though........funny that.
  12. Is that the same Andy Barlow who's currently coaching the Under 15s at Uppermill ?!, step down taking the managers job at latics is that.
  13. I'm guessing we'll lose by an innings and 185 runs to those pesky scousers.
