I think the fact that the thought have discusin allott up front has come into somebodies mind (let alone come through their fingers onto a keyboard) distressing.

A clear sign of how far the team have moved along since last season... in the wrong direction!!

As far as I know Niki it is true because if I remember correctly I had a bit of a rant on JK Latics about it "serving them right" over the Porter affair.

Interesting article with Warney on the Yoevil OS...

 

He says he was offered a new contract last Jan only to be told by SHEZ not to sign it as he would get a better deal at the end of the year, only to then be told by SHEZ that he was not giving him a new contract..

 

I have heard before that he was told he would get a contract at the end of the season and didnt but did not know that he was actually offered one in January. What is Shez telling him not to sign one for as he will get a better deal?

surley our manager needs to get the club the best deal ie lowest wage possible not telling a player to hold out for more money?

 

I guess it doesnt really matter now anyway but thought it was an interesting comment IF TRUE

Well I didn't realise there was a classifieds section - despite having posted on it in the past!!

Anyway, I've just done a website for a firm in Ashton that do cheap number plates and will post them to you - they are the cheapest on the web:

They're lovely people so deserve a plug ;)

I nearly fell off my chair when I read that Latics are having YET ANOTHER bloomin kit. What are we on now - 15 in 4 years? I bet it isn't far off with 'keepers jerseys.

The club needs to generate revenue streams - I totally appreciate that and support them doing that... but I think this pathetic excuse of having a third kit is unfair on the fans. If we were playing in Europe I can understand the need to have kits that meet the fussy regulations UEFA impose... but we don't. The shirt is un-called for. (That is football wide and not Latics specific)

What also gets my goat is these shirts are priced in line with what you would pay for a Man U, Chelsea, Arsenal, or Liverpool shirt that are made by multi-national companies. Whilst I appreciate that your average guy on the terrace doesn't need "Clima Cool" or the latest body cooling technology, the Carlotti shirts are hardly of a similar quality are they. It's like Primark charging Kendals prices.

Neddless to say I'm not happy about it. Not that makes one jot of a difference

Tantrum over.

Diego.... I believe Franny at the club is best person to ask about the lottery ...... You can e-mail him and he will send out the forms to you..

There is an announcement due I am fairly sure, but I won't say anything for the chance of letting cats out of bags

I was told from someone at the club that it may be re opening in a couple of months

was told this about 3 weeks ago now. as i was after seeing if i could book the room.

Alan Hardy is your man on this one!

Daz, can you tell us about the proposed buy-a-brick scheme connected with the BP redevelopment plans?

I can tell you a little bit - I first started looking into this when I found out that 'boro had a similar scheme - they are run by specialist companies.

About 8 months ago one of these companies contacted the club, and the club handed this over to me and I was fully under the impression that this would help raise the Trust anything up to £10k towards a facility in the new stand.

However, a couple of months back I was told that the club would deal with this scheme - so I don't know how it has further progressed.
