  1. Let me see, comedy staring George Clooney about a corporate downsizer and his travels. It follows his isolated life and philosophies along with the people that he meets along the way. Nah.

     

    Woo hoo! I've just saved myself 2 hours plus about £15.

     

    That's all I needed to deter me.

  2. Pictures 3 & 4 would be fantastic for spot the ball. Same pictures, how many match ban/months in prison will the number 8 get? 10 & 11 are like something from a Yank religious programme. In 14 apart from the nose picking, the lad with the Kenny Everett glove on is singing 'you're gonna get your :censored:in' heads kicked in'.

     

    Somebody has messed with the photos since my original post.......

  3. Roger Palmer was never young, not even the day he was born, never mind when he came to us. That was a different age anyway, I have long been convinced that the Redd Soxx academy in particular is geared to finding and selling the next generation of Sunderland/West Brom Norwich type players as much as hoping to find the odd player they actually bother to keep. Bear in mind Southend have the wolf properly at the door, he is probably playing for food in the hope of making an impression somewhere, it's not the story of a player who didn't quite make it at the top level having to slip down a notch.

     

    Didn't Scott Spencer have a trial at Yeovil?

  4. This years current average league attendance... (Cups not included for a fair comparison)

     

    ...DRUM ROLL PLEASE...

     

    5346

     

    I think we all would agree this is a bit high compared to the real hard truth so it needs adjusting a bit if you want take a fair comparison against Ritchie's time here I feel...

     

    if you take away the freak Exeter game... its goes down to...

     

    5257

     

    And if you take away the fact we played Leeds who bring a unusually large following..

     

    4976

     

    But playing with the numbers like this is always going to attract criticism... I am just after the truth...

     

    What is fair to say though is that the effect of the large game against Leeds is propping the numbers up a bit at the moment because we are looking at just 11 games...so not taking it into account will probably give a more real reflection as their was no "Leeds" in our divison back in 2001... The stoke attendance is similar to this years Hudds attendance... The numbers are also propped up a little by the opening game against Stockport... Which would also be diluted if we was looking at full season but I aint going to fiddle that much as people will just get on my back.

     

    All said and done I would say the numbers are about the same as under Ritchie...

     

    Average in Ritchies last full year : 4.972

     

    EDIT: Change the numbers a bit, messed my calc up :D

     

    EDIT 2: Changed my summary... Should be the last edit now :D

     

    But the difference with the stoke attendance is they filled the RRE.

  5. What else is there to currently know other than

    1. The club is moving to Failsworth.

    2. BP is a dump.

     

    How can this information form a basis on anything other than speculation for both sides of the argument. TTA have said some things including they want the club to be self sustaining, is that not a positive thing?

     

    Read it again, I've helped you 0000.

  6. Why can't I give an opinion on what I currently know... I will no doubt revise my current feelings as things change and we learn more...

     

    Why don't you say this to people who are massively behind the project while having nothing to base their confidence on ?

  7. Self sustaining at BP is not possible without redevelopment. We will fold as it stands.

     

    IF the Oldham Arena plans where implemented at BP then I would suggest that Self sustaining at BP would produce much more money and the land would be far more valuable.

     

    IN fact it goes like this...IMO

     

     

    Self sustaining at BP = not possible, out of business

    Self sustaining at Failsworth = Conf North

    Self sustaining at redveloped BP = league 1 or higher

     

    Why not wait for the plans and then give us your opinion?
