Hi

 

 

Re joining this board.. not that I left by choice, more it changed under my feet. I have contributed good or bad to the JK Latics site... indeed, my PC was the original fileserver.....bouoght off Jack a good few years ago.

 

I have been spending far too much mental energy and money down at BP for over 45 years.... still hooked as much as ever but cannot make as many away matches theses days.

 

Regards

 

 

Alec

Name? the_mighty_bosh (formerly theoldhamdevonian on JKL)

 

Location? Exeter, Devon

 

How long supporting the Tics? 13 years (since I was 5).

 

Best away match you've been to? Fittingly, Swindon away 2 years ago. 20/25 minutes straight of "OHHHH WHEN THE BLUUUUUUUES...", backs against the wall 2-1 victory, a Muzza screamer, virtually assuring survival after a season of hell, JJ finally managing to hit the cow's backside with his banjo...that match had it all!

 

All time greatest player? Shez, closely followed by Eyresy.

 

Biggest Rivals (in your eyes)? United, then City. (I also hate Plymouth Argyle)

 

Voila. :)

Name..well this may suprise you.. it is Alec......

 

 

Location..again.....another shock...Oldham

 

 

How Long Supporting the Tics?..I don't support the Tics... never heard of them! Where did the tics come from? I support The Latics...and can remember my Dad taking me to the Rochdale Road end when match after match it was that full, that the kids were physically passed arm over arm, head over head to be plonked at the front and forced to sit on the wall!

 

 

Best away match you've been to? Always the last away win for me... Huddersfield away last season. Not only from the match, but also because of the Slubbers Arms.

 

 

All Time Greatest Player? That is a really tough one. It is easy to find great players when you are going well. But my mind moves toward us in the old 4th Division and the 3rd Division in the 70's. fool Mulvaney was immense. Andy Lochhead was fearful for us. David Shaw was as fast as fast could be. But perhaps I will plonk for Jim Fryatt. He could head a ball half the pitch. He was a giant of a centre crash. But I could easily go for Maurice Whittle or Ian Wood.

 

 

Biggest Rivals (in your eyes) ......historically Rochdale. Yep it is Rochdale. Forget delusions of City/United/Wigan/Blackburn... our closest rivals are Rochdale.

Welcome to OWTB Alec. Good to have you on Board. There are certainly less numpties here than on JKL and so you can have a decent talk about Latics without Trannies etc butting in! :)

 

Hopefully, an Admin will be along soon to move you out of the validating group. Cheers

Some of you here may know me as 'andycoop'.

 

If I knew this site existed I would have been here a long time ago.. I know how expensive these boards are, I've tried and failed myself in the past so I for one would like to thank the Administrators of this board for setting up such a fantastic site.

 

I have a very.. unbusy ten weeks coming up, so I hope to post on here during the closed season.

 

See you around!

Scunthorpe about 5 or so years ago. Great day out, can't remeber the score but we didn't loose, and the barmaid in the hotel/pub was was absolutely drop dead gorgeous.
