  1. City at home should be a must every year, for nothing else other than the cash it would generate. I can't believe it isn't.
  2. The Pac Man over the Fat Man on points. Hope I'm wrong, like.
  3. The white v-necked one was the best away kit we've had in ages. White and v-necked again please.
  4. I'd go for Celtic (home and away in a two-legged affair, to be played every summer from now on), Rochdale (away), City (home) and Galway Utd (away, preferably on a Friday).
  5. If any holes are exposed I'm sure he will fill them, up front and at the back.
  6. Whereabouts in Oldham can I get a decent pizza from apart from Pizza Hut?
  7. I'm on the PA Wire now and can't see that report. Seems a bit emotional too..
  8. I think it's a cynical ploy to raise season ticket sales.

  10. I grew up on the Herbert Street wall at 'sheddings. Was almost in tears when they knocked it down. As a school kid saw us beat Wigan in that never-to-be-forgotten Challenge Cup match, and run the invincible Aussies close. There's cracking footage of both those games on youtube. Capacity when I used to go was just over 10,000. I think the record crowd was about 28,000 versus Huddersfield in the 50s. In my dad's era (mid 50s) they had arguably the best rugby league team in the world. They just never made it to Wembley. The old-timers would tell you it was a hoodoo. They were up with minutes to go in one semi final at Swinton when a fog came down and the game had to be abandoned. They promptly lost the replay. I've seen them in three semis, and in one against Warrington they were robbed, scoring what would have been a game levelling try with a kick to come on the hooter. The ref disallowed it for an offside that only he saw. If they'd have won they'd have been at Wembley the day before Latics in 1990. As he walked off to a barrage of abuse the ref said calmly: "You've already got one team at Wembley haven't you?" Whitfield I think his name was. Used to stand at the back of the Sheddings End until they closed it. Was a cracking atmosphere in there. There'd be the odd bit of trouble (mainly with Featherstone fans) but it was mostly good banter. And the oxtail soup they used to serve in a tiny shed at the front was the greatest taste sensation in the world. Great days.
  11. Patriots, third toughest after not making the playoffs. It's all a conspiracy..
  12. Wont every other club be hit by this crisis? Doesn't that mean the bar will be lowered?
  13. Who has said the budget will be lower?
  14. Eardley gave the ball away ten times today. I counted. That's how interesting it was.
  15. Can someone please PM me a mobile no for Chaddy? Cheers Mike
  16. We'll tonk them and then give Saints a good hiding at Knowsley Road.
  17. Did they not score past us after a move involving about 700 passes?
  18. Are people actually being serious when they say Ian Holloway?
