disjointed

The main thing I recall about Blackley having last played it in about 1979 was the strong possibility of hitting overhead wires from the first tee 

With Pike Fold there are a couple of holes where the main hazard is goose shite, other than that it's a pleasant and fairly flattish stroll.

Upper level golf courses certainly would, thet don't want occasional hackers holding up the courses.  In any event it's no fun for an occasional player to pay a big green fee to play a course that's beyond their abilities

I would say that as nice as Pike Fold and Blackley are they wouldn't come into the upper level golf course category. They will be glad of the money.

Dave, Pike Fold GC, Bury would probably be the most accommodating, after that Blackley Golf Club. Most clubs require you to have a bonafida handicap to play, unless you play a municipal course like Heaton Park, but it's a tough course and I'm not sure if they have buggy's. Lofty

 

If you block book as a group I doubt these clubs would be asking for everyone's handicaps.

There is a statement. 

I'd be up for it, I don't have a handicap but play off 18 for my golf weekends/piss up.

I had the odd coaching session with Cec when I was a young teenager - so mid 70s - and he only retired five years ago!  Former Jamaica Pacer Wright Set To Retire After 60-Year Career | Wisden

He is a crown green bowler who I had a game against last season, a gentleman.

No chance of that vote (which needs 14 PL clubs to agree) of getting through

Yet every club moans about it.

Who has offered those? Because nobody watches the roof from senior management 

That's what happened at Stretford FC, next thing it's pissing in.

Been to them before, I've nothing new to say.

Besides if I gave my thoughts directly to MM on his turgid tactics I'd probably be thrown out 

 

As you say BP best not to go, I'm not a big fan of these "meet the manager" things. I have only been to a couple before, both LJ. He knew how to play the audience, looking back they were heady days.

For those of us who decline to use twitter what's he saying.

I've no beef with that; I don't think you're telling porkies

Lose that one and the manager is up for the chop. I'd steak money on it. 

Forgot to congratulate all league winners, Ex Pat gets another PL title, I'm sure 24hrs will be along shortly to offer his own congrats. Sad to see LSA get relegated, needs to concentrate more on his predictions rather than trying to make himself a media career.

Think there were quite a few neutrals there.

How many on here were there? - I was for one.

I think most of us over mid 50 year old would have been there.

Sounds like a section of knob heads to me!

It was if they couldn't wait for us to go behind. What Fondop thought of it who knows, one minute none of them are fit to wear the shirt, the next he is gods number 9.

Thanks Metty, great job as always, hopefully next season it will be easier as we rack up a large number of WWWWWWWWWWWWW.

I think this has gone beyond a section of knobheads. 
 

Oxford (A), George and all that group spent most the game on the back of the players. 

They were at it again on Saturday.

It's happened numerous times this season. I remember a group of our supporters at a couple of away games under DU earlier in the season waving a San Marino flag about and chanting about how shit the football was pre-kickoff. Basically hoping we lost.

 

Best supporters in the league though, remember

Waving a San Marino flag is quite amusing, I would wager the players wouldn't even notice it, and if they did they wouldn't have a clue which nation it is from. 

So Gateshead have played this season for fuck all, surely the league would have informed any teams who didn't meet the criteria at the start of the season.

 Can some one explain why we are calling MM  bigfoot now ?

He enquired about signing Jordan Henderson.

Yeah true. On the flip side, it’s inevitable the players will have bad games and preform badly in spells, we need to be prepared for that. 
 

The booing has gone past being ridiculous. Fans boo when it’s 0-0 at half time these days, it’s cringeworthy.

What was worse was the booing of our own player when he came on the pitch as a substitute. 

7 minutes ago, LightDN123 said:

Yep he’s been absolutely crap when playing for us. 
 

Unsworth continuing to bring him on as a sub in central midfield when Harry Vaughan was an option remains the most puzzling decision by a manager. 
 

Couto could be a cheap back up, nothing more from what I have seen. 

Wasn't Couto wrapped up with Unsworths daughter? I may have made this up. It would explain why he was getting game time.

I’ve seen that the official site has been updated now to say that if you have the physical tickets, you need to return them at the ticket office by 4pm on Tuesday, 23 April.

Which is utter bollocks, I picked up mine and my lads ticket but gave the ticket to him so I could meet him in the ground for the original fixture, he lives in Leeds but won't be over this way for a couple of weeks. I think a little bit more Grace is needed he has e mailed the club. I get that it isn't Latics fault but someone needs to realise that getting the ticket back to the club for the 23rd isn't practical for everyone.

Nope. But a mate of mine has been advised he needs to take his physical ticket back to the ticket office in order for the refund to be processed. Which is clearly idiotic, given the shambles. 
 

I will wait for my reply. I’m certainly not driving a two hour round trip for the privilege of my money back. 

That's fine if they recognise you might be a couple of months before you can present your ticket.

Well, if that’s true- I’d guess at the others as, 
 

Langley £500

Couto £500

Harrison £800

Bren 1K

Dan £1500

Green 1k

Tollit £800

Windass £500

Mikey 1k

Hope £800

 

If I’m anywhere in the ball park - that’s 8.4K a week off the wage bill. 
 

What does that get us? 
 

8 ok players on 1k

 

5 good players on 1.5k 

 

Even with this fag packet guessing it’s not difficult to see how difficult it’s going to be in the summer. 

Can't see Green being on 1k a week. We got him from the dog and duck reserves didn't we.
