Are the club still penny pinching after ALs takeover? Always easy to spend someone eles’s Money.... He may well have plans regarding pitch infrastructure going forward but probably has a budget like me and you. They did what they could with what they have - in time that may change but to say the club is “penny pinching” under AL after signing the likes of Byrne Doyle and Pringle none of whom will be cheap is laughable - let’s agree to disagree Edited February 24, 2018 by Buckshawlatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's equipment for hire isn't there? Costs money though, which may still be a problem at this club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobledgersheart Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Anyone who doesn't think money is a problem for a club like ours, whoever the owner is, is seriously deluding themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stagger Lee Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Did no one think of phoning me to even warn me this could possibly happen? I went to bed early but then had to get up and put the air con on because it was too bloody hot to sleep, took ages to get back to sleep, then got my alarm to wake me to find out the games called off just because of 3 days of frost? FMD has no one in Oldham thought of the global consequences of this disaster! It's half two in the morning and I'm wide awake and grumpy. Bah! frost at ice station zebra causes international outrage - strewth I'm grumpy, effin grumpy - going to make a rum and coke and go for a swim in my pool - it's still well over 20 deg in the middle of the night down here so may as well enjoy the heat now I am awake for no bloody good reason ...... grumble grumble grrrrrrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lose today and it’s 8 straight home defeats I believe. That takes some turning round. Add to that they are currently losing to the worst side I’ve seen this season. Bury need to be 10 points better than us over 13 games. I think they may have left it too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if the previous 2 seasons with us are anything to go by plus his stints at Plymouth and Newport then he does have a knack of going into clubs and turning things around might take him a game or 2 to get going though.

Bury could be 8 behind Northampton today with a game in hand and still to okay them bury are still in this. As for shez he’s been in a lot worse positions than this and turned it round.

Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t - I’ve travelled long distances before and had a game called off - I shrugged my shoulders and got on with my life Got there at 130 from N Yorks . Nothing on R5 to say it was off. Met by Southend fans telling me the news - made my journey seem small. Ref was on R Manchester. Said club had phoned him on his journey from north east that there was a part of the pitch that was doubtful. Ref inspected at 11 and club tried “measures” to thaw it out . Not enough improvement in his opinion to go ahead. Back home and , as you say, nowt I can do so feet up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
