    Great read again Unsworth.

    It always amuses me when clubs say "we would like to thank" so and so. Are they saying we would like to thank them...but we are not going to?! Why not just say thank you?

    Ishmael Miller signs a new contract at Tranmere.

    Trying to tone this down a bit... Nice weather for the time of year isn't it? Might go out for a picnic tomorrow...

    Thank you Diego. They are definitely different stands, so I wasn't imagining it. I wonder why, when we won the Ford prize money, that we chose to knock down a stand that was only 10 or so years old. Admittedly, it wasn't the most attractive stand, but you would have thought that maybe the money could have been used on another part of the stadium.

    Hopefully a keeper called Woods will be good between the sticks. I'll get my coat...

    Were there not two north stands prior to the building of the Ford Stand? The one in the video and then an almost identical one built around 1961 or so?

    Blimey mate. How long did it take you to write that? A great read. It was all a little bit before my time, I started going in 1980. The 0-3 home defeat by Watford was on ITV's Big Match, and is on YouTube about 30 minutes in towards the end of this link below. Ignore that it says 1979, that is wrong. We always seemed to lose on TV!

    I remember that shop fondly. I bought a bundle of Latics programmes from there on my first ever trip to BP in 1980. Still got them. Don't know the name of the guy who ran it but if it was Russ Waller he was a nice chap.

    First round draw just made. Blackburn away.

    If/when we leave the EU (deal or no deal) freedom of movement is likely to end. AL's major recruitment strategy then goes completely out of the window as none of the foreign players (or managers) he is likely to attract will be of sufficient calibre for our Home Office to grant them work permits. And he didn't even mention Brexit as a threat in his plan, not that I'm surprised.

    You do know if Sol gets the job he will now be known on here as BGS! It does roll of the tongue!

    From what I have heard the mann-equins have been forced to train with the boy-equins until further notice.

    MK Dons surprised me. Obviously from the time when they were Wimbledon, but even so...

    Done!

    By wendies riot do you mean the match v Sheff Wed at BP which was held up for 20 minutes following Curran's sending off? If so that was the season before, September 1980.

    I don't recall Sky ever using the main stand before. We haven't been on Sky since the new North Stand was built. Prior to that broadcasters would put up a camera platform on the ground where the old Lookers Stand used to be, and prior to that they would have used the Lookers Stand gantry.

    Those are the favourite programmes in my collection. They are really lovely.

    Interesting article on the BBC about how (and how not to) appoint a manager. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47603536
