Positive move , no doubt Barstedley FC will lodge a complaint and moan how we should clean their shit tip of a stadium also and pay for the works!
Karma is a bitch and i am like others waiting for Barstedley to get theirs when it arrives and it will.Was surprised to see Sheffield Wednesday fixtures both planned for a tuesday night.
Not sure of reasons for that especially as there has been no history of crowd trouble between the two clubs.
Strange onethe chairman is a hero and will surely get a huge roar at his first home game with a crowd in.
Won’t be a dry eye in the house that’s for sure !Sunderland paying for years of neglect and multiple sackings as well as fair weather sulky fans who piled out of the doors into their giant cot on the carpark at half time nearly every home game in their final dismal premier league days.
I am sure they will come again once the crowds return to the ground and i bear them no ill will despite them being a relegation rival for a good few years.
As for those other bar steads from south Yorkshire ( i cannot even say their name , absolutely despise them) a pint was raised when i saw the result at the weekend and i am sure we will get our revenge out on the pitch sooner than we or they think.
A very easy team talk for sure
They kicked us very very hard when we were on the floor, down and out and that will never be forgotten.An incredible day and in fact so surreal and unique that I actually stopped boozing before kick off to take in the day and remember it forever.
Walking up Wembley way before kick off I ran into two very old pals from my distant childhood and we were then actually snagged by BBC World service and asked our opinions for the waiting world.
It doesn’t get any more surreal than that and proof how far Latics had progressed and how big the FA cup final is despite the crap spouted by the corporate football fraternity.
I said very calmly that we would win the game and I felt elation at the end but always felt we would win the cup.
It all felt so right and especially so sharing it with my son who I had taken to games since he was four at Springfield park in the very bleak days of the early 90s.
Never to be forgottenConsolidation in league 1 would be spot on for me next season with the division looking more and more like a 1990s premier league reunion with every year that passes so escaping it at the top end wont be easy.
Getting the crowds back in and also adding new ( and old) supporters to follow the club will be the greatest challenges i think.
We need to keep that fantastic youth policy going and invest in that as we certainly have benefited from being sandwiched between four of the biggest clubs in football with them scanning the world for young players nowadays.An international player of some pedigree and reputation and remembered and revered for his late Eire goal against Northern Ireland in the qualifiers prior to the 1994 world cup finals.
His signing at Latics was one of many big ones of that very memorable new stadium season of 1999-2000 that propelled the club on to a higher stage almost overnight than it had been on previously.
All the more sad that he was signed at the forefront of that very positive era when Latics really began their great journey makes it all the more poignant especially in view of recent events.
very very sad news ,54 is no age to die
RIPAbsolutely love Wimbledon , looked very bleak at times tonight then an incredible late goal in the now standard 100 minutes of play !
A less nervy side could go to Hull and grab a typical Latics result.
The greatest ever escape of it comes off
