Alan Groves, Ian Wood, David Shaw ...... Maybe if some of my schoolmates had been to such an event they'd have got the Latics bug and spent the last 45 years supporting the club. I think A.L. is making great efforts to attract youngsters to the club (see the season ticket offer) that don't deserve this sort of derision. Think you’ve taken my post the wrong way. I too think it’s a great idea for the kids and in no way am I mocking kids for going because as far as I’m aware there’s no young kids posting on here? (Correct me if I’m wrong please). Big Dog was suggested to people in the thread go and meet the players instead of catching a game of football (just for you Monty) to which I simply said nah you’re alright.

Although I'm sure there are plenty on here with kids, nephews, neices, grandkids of a suitable age. They might want to take them along. Some adults like it too. Lee Sinnott has a gym membership he doesn't use for exercise just to meet the players. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barcelona I went to a Manure v AC Milan friendly to see Ruud Gullit when he was regarded as the best player in the world. He was ordinary and went off at half time. A certain Marco Van Basten was out of this world, I think he got a hat trick. You never know what you're going to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opinions4u Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I've given up on Wigan away. Latics appear to have lost my letter entitling me to disabled / carer tickets. Wigan need me to ring personally to organise parking near the ground. Chemo has left me wiped out. So screw it. Not going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hands on Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Unfortunate display by Mossley who are a team on the slide to relegation. It was hoof ball not long ball just anywhere will do away from goal. Obviously lacking in confidence and beaten by a much better display from Osset who have strengthened their squad and look like getting out of trouble. Enjoyable for Osset, pie, chips and gravy (£3) and a pint of Dortmunder vier on the terraces - not forgetting the bus pass door to door.

Must say I was impressed especially with cost and quality of the catering compared with the same at BP. Also met up with some Mossley fans who I have not seen for ages and will go back again if there is no clash obviously with our games. Very friendly local club .Didn't Alan Hardy used to have something to do with running Mossley? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcfluff1985 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Chorley appear to do a similar thing where you get in cheaper if you have an EFL season ticket. Might be quite common in non-league. Good idea for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the thrashing I was hoping for given that we lost by 25 pts. Same shit, different season. Now where have I heard that before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
