  1. Thank you for the clarification and I don't recall ever saying being a fan wasn't enough. So why ask?

     

     

    Humour Lagsy, humour. Let me explain as it's clearly been a long day for you. I was saying that being a fan is hard enough, let alone having to be an employee . Poking fun at the situation. Always happy to explain stuff .

    Super blues, super new stadium.

  2. Even if it is (which it isn't) mate, it really wouldn't bother me. If it's in the Metropoliton Borough of Oldham it's enough as far as I can see, so what if it's on the border of Manchester. The people banging the drum about how Mancunian Failsworth is just have no forward thinking about how the place will be in two or three generations time when by then Failsworth will not have even been a part of Manchester for over 70 years.

     

    I'm all for pride about Oldham and that, but all the crap about stopping supporting the club if they play in Failsworth, to be honest the club are better without fans of that ilk.

     

     

    Yeah, how did they have nerve to rename Pine Villa to OLDHAM Athletic when it was so close to the border with Royton and CHadderton which were different local councils then?

  3. I was correcting the inaccurate statement that Manchester has two clubs. Old Trafford is not in Manchester just as the Lancaster Club site is not in Manchester. The people you mention live in Manchester. They are Mancunians so why would I expect them to lie and say they are Oldhamers?

     

    If they want to use the proposed pub/restaurant, 5-a-side pitches and leisure facilities, their money is as good as anyone's. If they want to use the proposed Sports Bar on non-match days, the same may apply, although some Latics fans may like to think its theirs in due course.

     

     

    Which town didn't get a Football League team until 1974? Yet league football had been played at the same ground for years?

  4. Surely all that matters is the form over the full season, or even the form as a whole during the former manager's tenure? :unsure:

     

    And besides, Joe Royle was the manager for near enough the second half of the second half of last season. Sheridan was sacked following a poor run of 15 games or so, most of which were actually draws. This was in spite of a decent 2.5 seasons prior to this wobble. Furthermore, these 'decent' 2.5 seasons were actually quite remarkable considering the budget within the division and the fact that he was a novice manager.

     

    Sheridan had a good first seasn. His second was so so. His third was very disappointing. By then he was hardly a novice and in all three seasons hisbudget wasn't miserly.

    This year he has got a Chesterfield team who finished in the top 10 in the last two seasons to - the top 10.

     

  5. Set against the backdrop of the days preceding Britain declaring war on Germany, the main character is George Harvey Bone, a lonely borderline alcoholic who suffers from a split personality

     

    The book? "Hangover Square".

     

    Or , from the review of the film by the same name...

     

    "George Harvey Bone," a demented composer who, upon hearing discordant notes, literally goes insane and gets violent, intending to choke the life out of the last person who got him upset

     

     

    Doesn't sound a nice character.

     

    I think we'll beat Stockport.
