RoytonLatics

I may be very very wrong here, but when I worked at Somerfield in Royton about 2001, there was this old bloke who worked there, I remember someone telling me that he played for England and Bolton in goal, he also played for the stores 5 a-side team and was still very good despite his age apparently. I wonder if it was this bloke?(I'm sure his name was Eddie too)

I think either Poggers has cursed us, cant remember us getting anywhere near as good a home record as we did in his first season, didn't we loose like once/twice at home all season, and correct me if im wrong but didn't Pogs keep 21 clean sheets that year too?

Cheers for that fellas.Now, who has been the best player to come through our youth system?Milligan,Henry,Makin,Gerrard,Barlow(Andy),Taylor???

That has gotta be the maddest stadium I have ever seen...

On a slightly different note, which player has gone on to be the most successful after leaving the club?Irwin?

Cheers for the info, just read up on him on wikipedia, as you say he was a load of :censored: scoring about 68 goals in his career, he's still a player at Forest Green but had a stint as caretaker manager last season.

Just out of interest which player did we take United to court over? And what other playes have they poached off us in the past (Scholes)?

I'm a recently qualified photographer and from what I can remember copyright only lasts for 65yrs (I think) so after that time they are open to anyone. Despite saying this I wouldn't open a stall selling the images before you follow this up.

When George Best died, the doctors cut his feet off and froze them, after bidding for them on ebay latics bought the feet for £22, and today is the day they transplant them onto Parker. Worth a try if you ask me.

Certainly not been good for goalkeepers, Enkle dead, Cudicini Knackered and Brill dropped, what a bad few weeks indeed.

Totally agree with the :censored: comment, how did our scouts not spot him? And how many more have we missed or will continue to miss?

Yea just cant see that they would cause this much trouble just to keep our attention away from a different site. I have spent ages trawling over google earth and never really found anything to match the Failsworth site apart from BP.

I have an A4 printer, It'll take a lot of paper and ink but I'll get there eventually...

Am I imagining this or did the club not have themselves advertised in the center of London at one point? Cant remember the name of the place but its where all the lighted signs are (alongside Tdk/coca cola) things like that. If so what was this in aid of?

http://www.marketingminefield.co.uk/outdoo...sing/costs.html Just some info on billboard advertising, I think price can depend on the location of the advertisement. But if there was anyway I could get involved by donating a few quid to the cause I would be happy too(maybe we could do a collection at a game). Also I don't think the Advert in the Chron or the Advertiser is good enough, has the club ever sent leaflets out to houses in the borough? surely this would reach more people as from what I know not that many people bother with the local press.

Didn't Hull have an iceland in the back of their old stadium aswell? And as far as putting a supermarket on the BP site, I cant imagine this would get the go-ahead, not after the amount of fight the local residents put into the ground development. What ever happens to the site I just hope those Royton NIMBYS suffer from years of sleep deprevation and traffic jams that last all day for the s**t they stirred up in the past.

It was a big thing to turn it down, especially as I have been on a week-to-week contract since rejecting it. Not even month to month, I really think Penny lost his mind when forking out the cash for this deal, surely h would have been on a free come the end of the week. Madness!

Some one has commented on the Chronicle website that Brill is the highest paid player at the club this season, is there any truth in this? I find it hard to believe.

# you are correct it was Oldham County

What the hell has this got to do with Labour? Sounds like their fishing for votes in the next election to me.

at the ticket office today they were giving tickets allocated to seats and you cant pay on the day so looks like you have to sit were your supposed to.

probably the first and only team to replace a perfectly fine undersoil heating system and replace it with a plastic pitch which lasted around 2-4yrs? David Ashworth the first manager to watch the game while standing on the roof of the old broadway stand? Former Latics player Sam Wynne was the first player to ever die during a match in 1927 i think he was playing for bury though. Frankie Bunn the first player to score 6 goals in a League cup fixture.

I thought the first team to play at boundary park would have been Pine villa (although it might have been called the athletic ground back then)

I cant believe they are using noise as a complaint, its not as if the games go on till 3 in the morning and stop them from getting their beauty sleep. Its litterally gonna be for 2-3 hours once maybe twice a week if their lucky. They also talk about the traffic, have they never been near Elk mill retail park at the weekends? They all need to get a grip, I hope the council completely ignore this rubbish.

pretty interesting indeed, sounds as though he is still a bit inconsistent but I can only think that the added experience is doing him the world of good. If Flavahan does well an we can keep him on loan for the season I' be happy for Flemming to stay their until the end of the season then hopefully we will have a confident keeper with experience who can push for the #1 spot. P.S was one of the reasons for him going out on loan due to home sickness?
