Personally I think selling Trotman now is probably a wise move. How many times over the past few years have we had players come into the team for a season or so, be raved about being the next big thing, and linked with moves away for big money, only for them to lose form and interest die down? I'm thinking about the rumours around Eardley, Taylor - even Andy Holt I seem to recall! At this moment in time, we're (mostly) a selling club, and need regular investment to keep going - getting money in on transfer fees makes us much more secure long term.

Or could have been Uriah Rennie. *Shudder*

I sit in the Chaddy, over on the main stand side, and I don't really mind the drum that much - on the whole probably gets more songs going, even if it is the same ones on repeat. What I can't stand however is when there's a lull in the singing, and the guy with the drum is just pratting about with it - giving it the odd bang, or tapping his sticks against it. Even just doing a slow beat. It's driving the people around me mad, and on more than one occasion against Donny someone threatened to shove the sticks up his aris.

Mossley, Hyde.

I'd say you have little to no idea how it works. At the moment there is actually space for a number of directors to come on board. As such (assuming we don't get a large number of candidates standing!) anyone who stands is likely to get on board. The struggle has always been getting people to come forward, rather than finding space for those who do. PM me if you want more info.

If you don't like the way the Trust is run oafc0000, why not stand for election and help make changes?

What news. Hopefully TTA will stick around and appeal, but I guess we'll have to see. May I take this opportunity to remind you all that if they do bugger off, then the Trust could again come to the forefront, and indeed play a crucial role in the future of OAFC. If you're not already a member, you can join at http://www.keep-the-faith.co.uk - £5/year. It's our AGM soon too, so if you want to get further involved, now's a great time. We're always looking for enthusiastic, motivated directors - even if you feel you don't have anything to offer - you're probably wrong!

That's what I said!!

Everyone else can wear whatever they like, but you have to dress up maddog!
