  1. Call me an old fuddy-duddy, but if the George Hill Stand is renovated I hope some of the stand's character is preserved. Not so much the archaic bogs and the zero leg-space, but I really like the two-tier design, and there's something seemingly fitting about its mill-like brick front. A RRE type stand and facilities would be nice of course. But a football ground's character and priceless IMO.
  2. When I lived in Canada for a year I ran into an ex-Latics academy player in a hotel in New Brunswick. He recognised my accent and asked where I came from. Can't remember his name.
  3. A fee would be a stumbling block, unless he's on a decent wedge and Tranmere want to shave their wage bill.
  4. Sears was hot property a couple of seasons ago, I'm surprised he's still there.
  5. It's always good to get a game vs a Premier League side, first XI or not. Should give our lads a decent challenge and bring a few in through the gates. Wish we could do it every week in the leag.. No, wait.
  6. Hope Preston dick Rotherham. I want another go at them next season.
  7. Instead of starting from the ground-up and vastly improving grassroots and coaching, the FA want to barge-in half way through the process, ruining the integrity of 72 team-strong and envy of the world Football League.
  8. I wouldn't want to pay him (what I expect would be a very healthy wage) if he's going to be losing his legs/perma-injured/knackered. Plus, if he's not good enough for Bradfud...
  9. I'd love to the Premier League teams quickly knock-up some league-standard stadia for these B teams to play in.
  10. What a ridiculous and long-winded way to try and improve the national team. Unfortunately the FA can't stick a foreign player cap on the Premier League because a. The EU won't allow it, and b. It'd mean standing up to the Premier League.
  11. As expected and good decisions IMO. Mellor's obviously no world beater, but there's something there worth working with.
  12. Tadcaster has a John Smith's brewery, a Coors' brewery and the Sam Smith's Old Brewery.
  13. Great stuff. Tadcaster Albion play in the Northern Counties East League (Prem), step 5 of non-league, and the ground is next to the John Smiths brewery, just off the A64. (I'm a non-league nerd).
  14. Lol Porter.. Can you imagine that phone call? "Hi Chris, it's Lee Johnson. How do you fancy a game at back at Boundary Park? New start and all that?... Hello? Chris?"
  15. Griffiths will be on big big money. Interesting to see Eagles' name mentioned. Thought the lad would be destined for greater things a few years back.
  16. Saw JCH in the club shop on the Friday before Carlisle. I asked him for a hat trick. He let me down
  17. Haven't seen him play, but wouldn't he have had more of games in the first team if he was our best striker?
