Anyway in the main stand yesterday they had no pies and no beer. What's happened to make us go back to pucca pies?Hope we don't go back to Unsworth. The pies last year were better than Deliahs that I had when we played Norwich. I shall be writing to the board because" I know what a good pie looks and tastes like." and it ain't a pucca pie or any pie with flakey pastry. I was sat in main stand on Saturday and got a pie and a drink, Main bars were shut but could walk down the steps to main stand lower and the bar there was open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty unimaginative step from the club to choose to sell them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The originators of Total Pie in the 70s with Cruyff, Neeskens etc. but the influence of chips with mayonnaise didn't do them any f(l)avours.

What was noticable was how strong and physical we looked, everyone has come back in great condition which is a credit to the group and something we are not used to, we looked professional and at it from minute one. I mentioned it on Saturday at halftime but Raglan stood out for me in the middle of the three, he's come back this season in great form and he organised us well, I know we may well go with different versions of four at the back when Ogle is fit but I thought Hobson, Raglan and Monthe as a back three looked pretty formidable. Kay gave us that bite we've been missing on the right and Kitch was back to his usual self causing problems all afternoon wide left. We seemed to play through Conlon quite a bit which is where I think we should use him, he sat in with Lundstrum, both were far more committed and positive, on the odd occasion Lundstrum turned back to goal and found himself exposed, I wish he would stop turning on the ball like that as he invariably turns in to trouble. Chersley and Hammond played more advanced, pressed well but more importantly looked after the football, Mikey did what Mikey does and didn't give them a minutes peace. I know I like a moan but I actually feel really positive after seeing us Saturday particularly looking at the strength in depth we have, Norwood, Garner and Ogle will all add to that group and I must say if we can add just one or two more in key areas we could really start to believe this season, it looks like the players certainly believe. I'll leave the EIEIEIO's to my friend @League one forever but i've a feeling this could be a fun season. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_b_100 Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 I dont want to piss people off but ... I thought Kay had a good game as did Conlon.There were definate signs that we have put right the imbalance of last seasons team. Monthe did look like a footballer and will terrify some of the newer teams to this god forsaken league. On to cardgate .... there re a couple of shops in Royton that only accept cash ... and I never have any and it winds me up a bit ... but not to the point I would forgo my custom if I did happen to have some money in my pocket. I dont mind Pukka pies ... having worked in the midlands in the very late 80s early 90s they were all he rage. £4.50 for one is a little steep but you do have a choice to eat beforehand. Finally .. hope the pre season is great and the matches are good ... Saturday was the only one I could make as Im going on holiday and will miss all the rest of them. Please lets get out of this league, Briantree ................................ and I dont care if its via Play Offs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyres42 Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 In my opinion 90 points will be enough the capture the league title this coming season and I believe the players and management are capable of achieving that total. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Ritchie Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Fuming about the Kiosk's Saturday. I brought two sheep to trade for a pie some crisps and a bottle of coke. Apparently it is card only now and you can no longer trade livestock in the ground. Does anyone have Barry Owen's fax number? 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Promising to hear about Conlon, early days obviously but I've said a few times on here that he could be like a new signing next season at full fitness and with a good pre-season behind him, fingers crossed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway best bit is when he describes that game when he put himself on and the shit he got from some in the MS, describes them as cock-a-roaches , make me piss that.
