oafc1955 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 If AL & Co are still here next season we will be well and truly fucked. Brexit has affected their already flawed recruitment model and we already know Mo hasn’t a clue about U.K based players. He will have very few contacts here, if any, apart from an agency, who this season, has supplied us with a conveyor belt of absolute shite which has resulted in our relegation!! We have absolutely no future at all under AL and whatever it takes, we have to get him out!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea but I do hope we start next season with some half decent strikers, that would be progress at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the Garth Dykes bible, our last non-league season in 1906/07 had us in the 1st qualifying round of the FA Cup as members of the Lancashire Combination A Division (makes NL sound exciting ). We beat Hyde 5-0, and went all the way through qualifiers (4th QR we beat Atherton Church after a replay!) to the 2nd round, where we lost 1-0 at home to Liverpool. We finished as champions of the Combination and our leading goalscorer was Joe Shadbolt with 26 in 34 league games. We need another Shadbolt!

That's an interesting one. The Dykes book describes that game as "Int" (?) before we beat Leeds City in the 1st round. You would have thought as we were in the 2nd Division that season we would have gone straight into the 1st round, but the rules must have been different that season.

Apparently, 36 of the 40 Div 1 & 2 teams went straight into the 1st Round. Four, including Oldham, had to go into Qualifying. A further 16 non league teams went straight into 1st Round , making 64. Don’t ask me why but I’m sure there was a logic at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfatjoe1 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Over the years, I've often thought we broadly follow the same trajectory as Luton and Oxford. Both rose through the divisions, with great cup exploits, with sank down to the NL, and now both have risen again, with Luton of the verge of the play-offs. With a change of ownership, you never know... On another optimistic note, apart from Stockport and Wrexham being heavily subsidised, I think we'll no longer the biggest small club. We will be the biggest club, providing the club is sold and we can all return to BP. The aways games will be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
