Did City have the Lookers in that match? Or was it just full of them in there too? Seem to remember seeing the seats being ripped out and thrown on the pitch from up there?

I’d say GMR, but they appear to have rekindled their love affair with Bolton again. What’s all that about?

Yes THAT City match, I just remember my dad chinning any City fan who came near us as me and my mate (think we’d be about 7 or 8 at the time) hid behind him against the back wall as it kicked off. I was probably really frightened at the time, but I remember it vividly. Was it 2-2?

I’m taking my boy to his first Latics match today and I’ve been thinking (or trying to as it was quite some years ago) about my first match at home to Cardiff in August 1981. That feeling walking into the Chaddy with my dad, then up at the back on the wooden steps at my dads favourite spot behind that wall above the old tunnel. Seeing the pitch, hearing all the shouts etc. Magical. I hope he remembers it in a way I do, although I know the experience is very different now. What are other people’s memories of their first visit to BP?

We could have had this...dear god!

Is Doyle still available?

Yeah I’ll have some of that, where do I send my cheque?

Going nowhere near this one, they’re taking the piss at twelve quid. Besides, they’re a hideous self righteous football club which I have no intention of funding.

Wonder what the 3rd strip will be like for Colchester away?

No brainer, Latics.

I need to get from near The Lizard in Cornwall up to Morecambe by 3pm, wish me luck...not with the journey, but telling the missus and kids we’re setting off home from our hols at 3am. Just looked, 437 miles via my house

What about the club foot?

Any legs in this I wonder? https://mobile.twitter.com/peterhardingdm/status/1005151155855544320

Well that’s cheered me up no end, just a month too late.

Kanchelskis for me at Maine Road in 1994, he tore us a new one that night.

Keep up the good work so I can show all this and more to my missus. She drove my 6 year old to her swimming lesson yesterday and as the passed Spotland my daughter said “is that a football ground mummy?” Yes Rochdale play there she replied. “Oh good, can I go to watch football there?” To say I was less than pleased with this is an understatement, but then to be told “well they do play in a higher division than Oldham” I’ve told her in no uncertain terms not to drive anywhere near Beswick or Trafford with any of my children in the car.

I’m in. If we don’t hammer Stevenage twelve nil on the opening day I want by brass back

Bollocks!

Information is correct.

Do we even have a noteworthy local press anymore?

Bloody superb! Judging by the response on Twitter, I think it’s fair to say that Gary Flaccid has had a bit of a mare there

125 phone calls in half a morning about the same thing is quite a lot in my book, I’d be pissed off after the third.

Melbourne Arms at Duston, but don’t tell anyone
