Ackey Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 ~~THE BELOW IS NOT FOR KIDS WHO LOVE CHADDY~~ Another member of the Latics team is to depart Boundary Park, as Wayne, who has been Chaddy The Owl for five years, has decided to call it a day as our winged hero and I for one would like to thank him for his efforts. In his time as Chaddy he's won countless accolades which have always painted the club in a great light; not only with Latics fans but also the general public, club sponsors and most important of all the kids. He's had a few scrapes along the way, most notably breaking his ankle away at Carlisle whilst playing on a BMX. It was a pleasure to work with you Wayne, all the best for a future without feathers! Cheers! Link to Telegraph article about the incident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I never knew the other Chaddy, and I have never met Wayne, but he has my eternal gratitiude for his reaction to a minor problem of getting a toy chaddy by going the extra 10 miles doing a poster and other things as an extra Top fella, and he will lbe missed, hard boots to fill.

Diego_Sideburns Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 On behalf of my grandchildren, thanks Wayne for everything you did. On behalf of myself, there have been many times when your antics at BP were the only thing stopping me from losing the Faith. You're a hard act to follow. Good luck for the future.

astottie Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Don't think I'll be letting my ten year old know this news. Looked in at her on the way to bed last night and the furry fella's beak was sticking out from under the duvet ( the stuffed toy version not the original) Agree with everything that has been said, Chaddy was the best thing at latics for her both at the games and at the BB do's and a lot of that is down to Wayne. Well done and thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziggazagga Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 he was a rubbish chaddy anyway. The previous one was much more amusing. This one was just childish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaddy the owl Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Cheers for the kind comments guys.... Apart from ziggazagga. I'm gonna find it really strange watching someone else do it but at least I will get to actually see the game and see what all the fuss has been about these past 5 years. Thanks everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudemedic Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Anyone who bites gets a slap in the head from me (unless it's Rummy, he's mental). Does Chaddy himself- who I'm fairly confident posts on here not get a say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're a hard act to follow. Good luck for the future. I would echo this, especially when I was watching the game on two crutches from just behind the disabled section in the Chaddy.

rudemedic Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 He's about an inch above you Yeah well spotted, do you think it was possible for him to reply in the time I was composing mine? That's the second time today you've been beyond sarcastic towards me- you have warned me for less. (IMHO) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I've turned oneof his many illegitimate sons away from the screen so that he doesn't see the news over my shoulder Thanks for your time, effort, energy and dedication given to the many young Latics fans Wayne. I think you did a sterling job, and I am not sure that I'd be prepared to give up so much of my own time as you did to give much joy to many other people's kids. Kevin was a bit better though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underdog Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I have decided not to tell my nephews the news.....too much for them as well as getting a season ticket for punishiment this season I hope the top brass take the role seriously and recruit someone who can, compete at the mascot olympics, play footy in all the gear, antagonised the away fans/players to a high standard. Tough talons to replace Thanks Wayne........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
