  1. Since when has 20/90 (or 93, whatever) been a quarter? You're giving him too much credit!
  2. Text from my dad at the game: "Best 45 mins all season". Typical.
  3. Maybe - but that's one game. I've been in the RRE 'I' section all season - can only remember it being that game where that happened.
  4. Free season tickets for local primary school kids. Get 'em young. Make sure they're all in the RRE, where the only atmosphere is, and hope they catch the bug.
  5. 5+, will renew regardless. I was there during the good times, I've been here during the bad times. I will continue to be here regardless of what the future brings - if I wanted guaranteed success, I'd go watch one of the Manchester clubs.
  6. On a similar note, what's with the "You :censored: Bastard" at goal kicks? Copied from Leeds? Rubbish - "you're :censored: arghhhh" is miles better.
  7. Screw what other clubs have done. Our aim should be financial stability. With that, eventually, will come success on the pitch. Other clubs will speculate and go bust. With our current fanbase we're not going to able to afford to pay for a squad of superstars, so we should be investing in youth, and hoping Tony P produces us some stars for the future. If we're stable off the pitch, and improving on it, the results will come, and we can start to regrow the fanbase. I think people forget that big stadia cost more to maintain on a week to week basis. Nothing wrong with having a stadium that to start with isn't huge. As others have pointed out - even at the 12000 level we're likely to fill it less than once a season. It can be expanded - that's the key. Why gamble? Plan for the long term - we want a club our grandkids are going to be able to support, not one that goes bust trying to hit the big time too quickly.
  8. I know he posts on here. Don't know his email address, and he isn't listed on the Club Contacts page.
  9. It's one every other article - Parker is apparently a 'Scott' in the next one up. Just screams 'amateur'. Sorry for having high standards.
  10. As per subtitle. Embarrassing the number of typos on the OS. Story "The Latics website will continue to operate as normal, brining you all the latest news as it happens, throughout the day."
  11. So it was a :censored: result tonight. And we've had a couple of others recently. We'll have more :censored: results this season, I have no doubt. However, we'll have some good ones too. We'll probably beat Leeds. We're not going up this season. Will we challenge next year? We might, we might not. I'm fairly sure we'll look a better outfit in 12 months time though. Only two types of teams tend to go up from this league - those backed by ££ (think Leicester, Wigan, Swansea, Peterborough) or those who have built something over a period of a few years (Scunny twice, Southend, Col U). If it takes us 5 years to get up, it takes us 5 years. Keep the faith.
  12. Lol - does the fact he has more posts than the rest of the users in this thread combined not give you a clue he might just be a Latics fan who lives in (or near) Dale?!?
  13. Spot on - not been impressed with Brill at all in the games I've seen so far. And we desperately need a centre back - even if just on a month's loan - to give Laurel and Hardy some competition. That was pub football defending today.
  14. The article mentioned a 'substantial' add-on, so I'd expect 20% at least.
