Bristol Blue

When we get the BOAST bus operational from here in the South West we could pick him up on home match days! (If theres space of course). He may have been a major divot in the past but that shouldnt be a handicap. It will take us a few hours to get back, thoses lucky people living in Oldham should get back home in one (Don't think that worked?!). Must remind the driver to take the dog-leg to the right onto the M5 on the way back.

Good to meet you all last night. What a turn out!! Glad I could make it after all. We'll have to sort out another meet sometime. Hopefully arrange a trip up to Forest.

Not got the jist of PM'ing yet!? I still can't make Thu this week (BOAST Members!)but can on Fri. Looks like theres a few can and can't configurations. Lets assume you guys will meet up on Thursday as originally planned. I can catch up next time

Wedding anniversary is a few days later. No I have an infant school do (I know, I know, but what can I do?) . Dont suppose we could meet on the Friday 27th?

Well... Thanks for the welcome everyone. I'm still here and reading with interest. Hope I havent started a national rift between the few Latics fans we have. We'll have more exile supporters than ManU heading up the M5 / M6 soon! I'm aware of other Latics fans in the Bristol area too (maybe BOAST will be able to sponser a ball one day). Bad news on the meeting up front, I can't make July 26th (wife reminded me of a long standing appointment that I really can't get out of). Very interested in the next one though, celebrate our first win maybe.

A banner, yes fantastic. A picture of the suspension bridge emblazened with OAFC. Cant wait. Might join you in the Willy Wicket (I'm from Bishopston so not too far really)

Name? Rick. Location? Bristol How Long Supporting the Tics? Since @1970 (37 years!) Best away match you've been to? Probably have to be Maine Road 4 - 1 Palmer hat-trick (Swailes out!) All Time Greatest Player? Alan Groves - Magician, legend, sadly missed. Biggest Rivals (in your eyes)? Forest - Sorted them out twice last season. They will be there or thereabouts this season with a 5 - nil thumping to avenge.
