Hugh v Amsterdam Alty sumo wrestling in a pub car park?
If we don’t do it Sky will. 😂😂😂

I'm strictly down for bikini mud wrestling only.

Ah, sumo, the politest sport in the world (one wrestler had a reputation as the bad boy of the sport after clenching his fists in celebration) and the one martial art I have had some sort of experience at. Be warned (!). (The Sky's the limit).

(You probably won't be surprised to learn that Bradford (Park Avenue), with their () and (traditional) non-league ambience (and old programmes on sale (I once bought a programme from their last FL season in 1969-70 there))! is (one of) my favourite away trips (and also the scene for (one of) my favourite Alty goals, a Valery Owen belter back in 2005). Altogether now: "Oh, Bandy Bandy - Bandy Bandy Bandy Bandy Peter Band (I may have imagined that last bit!)).

(I fear you may be out of luck for mud wrestling now they have fixed that corner of the pitch near the (old) gasworks (unless you can persuade them to include it in the fanzone!)).

Wasn't he supposed to be involved in the Shaun Densmore testimonial? Did he appear in the end?

Including you. Why not!

Seriously, I don't understand why anyone expects Byrne not to start, unless there was some condition attached to the loan.

Isn't it odd how, when you use players who look forward and actually attack the opposition, you look dangerous and even score goals.
I think it's worth relinquishing our position related to possession if we can get a goal or two.

Far too often we go backwards and sideways to keep the ball.
It's doing that cost the second goal which, incidentally,  came from our throw

I remember Paul Scholes once bemoaning players attempting over-ambitious passes rather than playing the simple ball to keep possession. Though to be fair I also remember us joking about Barrow's lovely passing football right up to the half way line!

During the Euros I used to get frustrated with Sterling losing the ball, but I guess if he didn't try these things which often ended up in losing possession, he also wouldn't get the game changing moments of brilliance where they come off.

I thought United had one of the best fan zones I've seen, they just don't call it that. And do stop sniping.

Hey Hugh, great to hear from you. I'm still awaiting your response to several questions in the off topic forum.

As far as taking advice from yourself, I think hell will freeze over before that is a wise idea.

Not much point, you didn't seem to take on board a lot of what I did post. Anyway, I was only posting on the subject because it was having a serious impact on the club and its fans, which will hopefully no longer be the case.

Seriously though, why do you feel so strongly about this (and why do you keep sniping)? I would happily take advice from you if I thought it was good advice (and it may well be on some things), and I think it's a pity you seem to have such a bee in your bonnet about this (among other things).

Aren't there still two portaloos in the "fan zone" corner (though what condition they're in I don't know)?

Really, the trough toilets in that corner should have been promptly replaced, and even they would probably have been better than the current situation, which will hopefully end soon. (And bring back the old programmes shop!).

Infrastructure is going to be a massive money pit going forward in our quest for future progression.

I’m of the belief if the ground and facilities look good then more people will want to come through the turnstiles.


PS Yesterdays season ticket holders were yet again not scanned upon entry but just a tick on a piece of paper.

And my ticket hasn't arrived yet. Not being done by the Welsh FA are they?
