Now I know it's OWTB's and we all have an opinion. Surely it's time to start Reid up front and he's only 29 years old. Let bygones be bygones and let's try and win a football match!1 Just sayin' before I get slated!! - It's only an idea!1 Cheers - Brian.

I just love that post. 60 years following the "Super Blues" and I have still not lost my sense of humour although I do feel sorry for the younger fans who have seen nothing but relegation. My personal view on Mr Mellon - "he's not the man for us" - but we are stuck with him. (I am a Pete Wild fan by the way) Keep the faith boys and girls - we will get there one day, Best wishes - Brian.

I will stick my oar in too. The walk up the hill and through the park isn't great for an unfit 69 year old. You need more hand rails on the steps in the park. The actual paths in the ground are very uneven and an accident waiting to happen. I am aware of the trees growing in the ground, but still us coffin dodgers who are unsteady on our feet need decent paths. I can't fault the toilets and the catering (OK I can - the toilets are a fair walk from our seating area!!). Apart from that a great atmosphere and I do like old grounds - your fans we spoke to were a great bunch and apart from the result a great day out. Thanks for asking our opinion and enjoy the rest of the season. Cheers - Brian.

That wasn't old "Rubber Gob" was it - flippin heck - that takes me back - oh - memories!!

You know that brought a smile to my face - and it wasn't the bit about Ethan walker!!

Well said - do you need any petrol money?

I would second that @Pidge I just don't want any man to go through what I have been through - yes i am on a curative treatment plan and thanks to the NHS and MacMillan Cancer Support I am in a great place. As I said above I volunteer for MacMillan's on "MacMillan Online Community" on the Prostate Cancer forum - yes we talk about Prostate Cancer - we also talk about football - but you can join us there and ask any questions you want - we talk about issues you may not want to talk about with you wife or your partner or your mates in the pub. Search for the Macmillan Online Community and once there The Prostate Cancer Forum if you need to speak to me - my user name is "Millibob" You can also PM me on here if you are worried or just want a chat about it. Get tested lads - it's a simple blood test at the GP's and if you are 50 or over your G P can't refuse you a PSA test. It's better to find out NOW than later. Best wishes - Brian.

Yes, I forgot the weight gain - but that's managed now - Well done for staying the course, I am a full 3 years due to high PSA and being a Gleason 9 but yes - Attitude - you do need it. I say again lads - get checked - to lose your dignity is better than losing your life. Best wishes Boyyou - Regards - Brian.

Cheers Glossop - To be honest it's not too bad if you can keep a positive attitude - there's no pain (apart from the biopsy) and it's better than the alternative as the treatment is being given as "curative" so happy days. Best wishes - Brian.

I am very pleased with Paddy Power who are donating £1000 for ever 180 scored at the darts World Championship to Prostate Cancer Uk. An amazing donation. Best wishes and well done to both Pidge and Paddy Power. Brian

You are very lucky boy - It was thought my cancer had left the gland with a PSA of 182 on diagnosis - I am on one of the other treatment paths - Hormone Therapy and Radio Therapy. Prostate Cancer lives on Testosterone so if you have no Testosterone it can't feed and gets killed off - hence the hormone therapy (there are side effects - hot flushes, you grow a pair, erectile dysfunction, you can cry for England etc) and then 20 blasts on the "sunbed" to kill the bastards off properly. I am 23 months into my 36 months of Hormone Therapy. My thanks go to the Royal Oldham and North Manchester General Hospitals and The Christy at Oldham - I agree the NHS has been fantastic, so has MacMillan Cancer Support. (So much so that I am now a Prostate Cancer volunteer with MacMillan's online Community!!). Lads - Get tested and if there are ANY issues with the waterworks - do something about it!!!!!! Best wishes - Brian

Just sometimes I an right. What a shambles though - I only live in Royton but even I was getting ready to set off. Whatever happened to "common sense"? Someone needs their bumps feeling!! Best wishes - Brian.

I am sat in the Republic of Royton looking out of my window at my frozen lawn. I haven't had my frost covers on but judging by the Polar Bears and Penguins walking about and the fact the dog won't go out to do his sniffing around and it's still -2 (it was -5 last night) I can't see it being on. Please note I have been wrong before. (PaddyPower will confirm this!). Best wishes - Brian.

You can see the poppies on the photograph posted by @oafcmetty a few posts above. Yes a very well done to all involved on Saturday and indeed leading up to the day.

Did anyone notice the poppies mown into the grass on each alternate segment of the pitch on the JR side of the ground? So thanks to the ground staff - they do deserve more praise - as the pitch is amazing for this time of the year. Well done!! . Thanks - Brian,
