Mark Yeates to Eastleigh.

All these players that leave for a better deal stay at the new club for a year and get binned! Quite funny.

Someone on twitter said his Blackburn supporting mate claimed they were in for Ripley....

Blackburn have Jason Steele solid championship goalie and David Raya major up and coming keeper doubt they will be spending money on Ripley. Could be wrong but when they already have two very good keepers doesn't make sense.

Apparently Peterborough are in for him I've  just heard willing to pay all his wages and a loan fee.

 

bugger...

According to their chairman they aren't after him. Doubt he would go down south when his family are based up north. 

Heard clarke has been in ripleys ear all summer. Hope it works.

3/4 years ago I'd have been well chuffed, describing him, as some are, as a great signing now though?

The lad is 31! In his prime as a striker!

Great signing this. Shez will get the goals back out of him. Holloway and Davies up front is some partnership!

The money was given to the club for it to be done. 

Clearly hearing different things.

Might be something to do with Sports Direct being pissed at the club for not having the Chaddy End roof emblazoned with their logo for the last 3 years, as per part of the deal.

Which sports direct were paying for! Down to them when it was done!

Interesting how the official site still calls it Boundary Park.

 

 

Was told Sports Direct haven't been playing ball and moving the goal posts. So maybe a little bit of tension starting to show.

Fixtures tomorrow @9:00 am. That's less than 19 hours...

Makes it worse the club and matt chambers already know.

mmmm.

 

Left us under a cloud I believe with the state he left his digs and stuff he took which didn't belong to him from the digs aswell. Always thought he had talent could be the left winger we are missing but then again the source is less than reliable.

RIP Gordy! Such a legend at Latics. Thoughts go out to his family and friends. His commentary for the Scott vernon goal against Man City, played back always sticks in my mind. 

Just going to leave this here. ?? https://youtu.be/C1hESTrXOUE

I think the Newcastle potential Chinese investors are in a different league to our potential Chinese investors. Ashley is looking for more than £400 million apparently.

Sky have said with extras and future earnings he wants £800 million for Newcastle...... let that sink in ???

There only one Chinese consortium free in china? ?

Think they are expecting a few more Concessions as the prices for them hasn't changed I don't think.

I'd expect Woodman to go to Bury with Lee Clark having previously signed him for Kilmarnock and his Newcastle connections.

They signed joe Murphy apparently on decent money aswell. Can't see Murphy warming the bench.

Given his name is Woodman he should fit right into the OWTB tradition of getting players' names wrong.

? noted. 

Like the look of Freddie Woodman England under 20 keeper. Can kick a ball, brave, decent handling. Played for Kilmarnock I think last season? Next Ripley for us? 

The guy has about 4 followers on Twitter and works for a company that doesn't exist.

Also we usually change our shirt sponsor every twelve months so decent excuse might aswell change the kit ?

Personally, I find grown men wearing replica shirts, for anything other than the playing of sport, highly embarrassing.

Personally I don't mind it but each to their own!

I thought we'd only had new home & away kits at the start of last season? 

 

I don't buy them for myself and haven't done for 20 odd years, but as a parent my daughter wants a new kit as soon as they come out and a couple of new kits every 12 months is a bit of a kick in the bollocks. 

Every club do it now. Part of contracts that the suppliers insist on apparently. 

Erwin rumoured to be joining Walsall. 

Someone on twitter said tope had been away so could be a simple delay in signing off like that. 

I would take rachubka as backup all day long.

Firstly apologies if this has been done to death, but I can't be bothered to trawl through the board.

 

I know about the partnership with ALS, but are we trying to revamp the old pitch or is there a new pitch being laid? I asked this, because I was watching the latest 'This week at Latics' video interviews with Dan Gardner and Brian Wilson. At the end of the video they had the little 'outtakes' with Brian Wilson and the pitch looked dodgy close to where he was standing. Again apologies if this has been covered.

It has only just been reseeded, So won't be fully covered in grass yet. The company who are working with the club now will provide materials and equipment to the club at no extra cost to get the best possible pitch for next season. It would cost over 500k to replace the current pitch/ structure.
