Back in the early 90s I was parking up at work at the same time as another car which had a kit hanging in the back window as had mine. I was looking to see which club it was and the other driver spotted me looking and said it’s Oldham, a club much bigger than yours who we would never get the chance...

Apparently, a hobby that is growing incredibly quickly. I've been involved for about two years now with a group based on the Staffordshire/Derbyshire borders and have found some decent stuff including a cracking medieval crotal bell and half cut coin over a thousand years old yesterday. The social ...

Pragmatism and realism. We are not going to win the FA Cup. Promotion is the only aim.

John Johnson 1605

Absolutely it is. We are not going to win it.

John Johnson 1605

Manchester City or Liverpool at home.

Give our fringe a run out and exit.

The worst situation is that we draw the weakest team, progress and are penalised by a schedule that doesn’t affect Leeds or Sheffield.

John Johnson 1605

Thank you. Hoping it is the Saturday at 12.30. I had in my mind they get all get moved to Sunday but perhaps that’s my memory !

John Johnson 1605

Millwall at home on the 3rd May is our last game of the season.

Is there any chance it could be moved ? (have I imagined that all championship games kick off on the Sunday at 2pm?).

Just trying to work out travel/accommodation plans.

Help gratefully received.

Will do but as we already have a reserve list, it's highly unlikely.

Appreciate that. On the off chance that enough seats become available please contact me.
Thank you.

John Johnson 1605

Hi Pete, if 2 seats become available please would you contact me. Thank you.

His only error was that he got caught, not yet experienced in the real dark arts.

John Johnson 1605

So far this evening; 1 “I don’t want him (Hannibal) to play for the club again.” 2 Speculation whether “Mr Negativity” (Parker) would rather be in the record books as the team conceding the lowest goals tally than making a genuine attempt to win promotion. 3 Trafford nearly cost us the game late on....

John Johnson 1605

An away performance reminiscent of Dyche in his ascendancy.

The 3-3 away at QPR came to mind. Even better we won today.

We were incredibly fortunate that Parker was available this Summer.

I have 1790 loyalty points. I’m OK to access extra tickets for home games and the ground tour. However, when I try and access the away ticket link the page collapses and I get this message; Invitation redemption failed An error has occurred. Please retry again shortly. Anyone experiencing similar is...

John Johnson 1605

Thanks Al;

Tried that and still getting the error message !

John Johnson 1605

When I try and log into the Ticketmaster site I get an error message ?????

John Johnson 1605

Can anyone tell me where I can see how many loyalty points I have.
Thank you.

Woking, yes I can recall Jolley’s! My working life at Hollingworth Lake was as conductor on the Lady Alice and Pennine Queen and occasionally rowing boats, motor boats and the dreaded kids’ paddling boats. Clegg Hall, does your user name come from the Clegg Hall that sits on the Rochdale canal clos...

Same for me. Last year I was 1970. This time 1400.

Links to my son also removed !

John Johnson 1605

I’ve no issue at all with Kompany going, particularly with a decent wedge of compensation. What I have a problem with is just how much control he was allowed by Pace. That naturally raises concerns for the next manager, if scouting and recruitment are back to square one, never mind the raft of play...

John Johnson 1605

Bellamy was part of a leadership group that was responsible for one of the worst seasons in our history. On that basis alone he shouldn’t be anywhere near an interview. On a wider point we are the 19th most successful club in the country, have a young, talented squad, a loyal fan base and a (potenti...

John Johnson 1605

I don't listen to it anymore. Absolutely terrible podcast. Just a group miserable blokes who like the sound of their own voice. Nothing positive to say and really depressing. I assume this episode might have been a little bit more upbeat though as it was about the potential departure of VK. Unfortu...

Appalling abuse directed towards Jay from a large section of the Brighton support.

Despite being cleared of any wrongdoing years ago chants calling Jay a “racist *******” were audible even in the JM Stand.

Totally and unacceptable behaviour!

John Johnson 1605

In theory he should be sacked. In practice his relationship with the board and the club’s parlours financial state will save him.

John Johnson 1605

Yes it was absolutely bloody woeful. That said I stood in light rain with my £1.20 cup of tea from the butty bar. I exchanged notes with jdrobbo about Marathon running and the political football teaching is. I also listened to Claret Tony’s passion for Willie Irvine and sadness over the laters healt...

If these Arsenal fans sat there discreetly watching their team, why on earth is it a problem?

I look back at Cotterill’s reign with great fondness. Attended with my 2 boys who were primary age, walking back from the game with the youngest on my shoulders. Kick off’s invariably at 3pm on a Saturday. Signings I might have heard of, a shirt sponsor I might have heard of and a Chairman who was i...

Following your Liverpool debrief; Agree with the panellists that the second half was very positive. It did mirror the Fulham game with Taylor, Odobert, Berge and the much improving Trafford our stand out players. Poor from Tressor, largely anonymous and I think you’ve over egged the pudding concerni...

John Johnson 1605

Interesting point made by (I think) Ightenhill Claret. He likened ALK’s policy to “Ground Zero.” I think he actually meant Year Zero. I said the same to my son at the start of last season that it felt like we were in the grip of a Khmer Rouge takeover, associated propaganda and the sweeping away of ...

John Johnson 1605

A very enjoyable podcast. Thanks lads.

John Johnson 1605

I thought it summed our club up to be honest, to announce the team during the short time he was walking across the pitch was definitely not necessary and looked almost deliberate to me. It’s been the narrative for the past 18 months Tony. From the “ A New Era” graphics on the scoreboard v Luton, th...

Another great report CT.

Especially spot on regarding the lack of a real tribute to Dyche.

John Johnson 1605

Here we go again. Crouch was here 4 months as a replacement to Vokes as backup. Bardsley was a backup and did fine. Lennon was a backup and did okay. "A club like ours can't be established PL", 6 years in a row and European qualification is a reasonable foothold frankly. People seem to want to rewr...

Out last night in Glasgow, paying £11.60 for a pint of Guiness and Joker IPA (brewed in Alloa and available in Tesco for £1.50 a bottle). They were served in plastic glasses and we were also in the Glasgow University Student’s Union. Couldn’t afford that regularly. The OP mentions Wetherspoons. They...

You’ve accused me of being someone who wants to accuse supporters clubs, people who have worked hard and tirelessly over the years for the club and supporters. You have nothing to back this up so I think you should withdraw your accusations Why did I “accuse” supporters clubs? Because, as previousl...

Hi mate, I’m not on instagram so can you (or anyone else) get his number for me. Thank you.

Hi Andy, keen to have this done. Please can you supply details of the bloke who does it.
Thank you.

Accy Clarets are still looking into the possibility of putting a coach on and hopefully we'll know one way or the other by early next week. It would help if anyone who would be interested.could register their interest to give us an idea of likely demand. Leisure, have any idea of the time you are l...

Is the trophy presented to us the original one from the nineteenth century or a later replica?

Thanks for any help.

What are people’s predictions of when promotion will be mathematically achieved?

I’m going Sheffield United at home.

John Johnson 1605

In Neil Warnock's autobiography he says he was interviewed for the Burnley job but didn't get it He doesn't say when that was or who was successful. The indication was he would have taken it if offered Best guess would be when Howe succeeded La I think this was the Summer of 1998 when he’d left Old...

John Johnson 1605

He was our man when Coyle left (was at Palace in the Championship at the time and they had financial difficulties).

Spot on Spice.

I made the same point over 10 years ago to Brendan Flood who fidgeted, cracked his fingers and said that Warnock wasn’t popular the game. Very, very poor judgment.

John Johnson 1605

Thank you for the replies. I wasn’t a supporter back in the 90’s but the shirt really struck me. Strange that it should be commissioned and never worn, especially at Wembley.

John Johnson 1605

I was looking at the replica shirt today in the club shop. Very different!

When did we actually play in this shirt as I’ve checked and photographs show us wearing the traditional claret ?

John Johnson 1605

Thank you Leisure.

I did think they were on sale tomorrow and planned to be part of the scramble. Nothing on club website that I can see, however.

John Johnson 1605

Any idea of the prices ?

Thank you for any help.
