Thanks, Rage

I know it's irrational, but is anyone else irked by the constant reference to the home team as 'Ilkinston' and 'Ilkestone'?

Reminds me annoyingly of the Altrincham Town and Altringham scenarios.

PS. We'll have a game on our hands on Tuesday/Wednesday (delete as appropriate) night next week.

Glad we all agree

Think you've frightened everyone off! 😂😂

(been waiting for Football League football since 1965! 😉) 😏😊

1964-65 was actually the first Alty season covered by the Rothman's football year book (Wigan won it on 67 points apparently), with 65-6 being the first (I think) of several seasons that Alty should have got into the fl by my calculations (if it had been 4 non league champions promoted instead of 4 fl clubs standing for reelection -  absurdly seeing Barrow voted out - the Cheshire league would surely have qualified as one of the four leagues). It seems there were some stonking FA Cup and Trophy crowds in those days. Wigan had 5 figure crowds on more than one occasion (crazy they didn't get voted in until 1978 - when 'Dale should've been voted out), Worcester got 6,704 in the Trophy quarter final against "Trelford" (Private Eye), and even Alfreton got 4,400 v Barrow. (South Shields beat the real Bradford 2-1 in front of 2,000 in their last fl season).

All I meant was that's when I started being an Alty fan! 😉

Let me pick this up - IM me just to make sure I have you correctly identified and we will get this sorted

Thanks a lot, Bill. IM sent with my details. 😉

Very good deal for us. Wonder what would have happened if it had been announced a few weeks earlier....maybe Macc would have survived???

Cue wider smug grin

In your model you'd be expecting the guy that buys the corner shop to pay the debts of the previous occupant.

Is that known as "Arkwright's Syndrome" ?😉

I'd expect them to have a little more decorum than Macc have shown this week with the sports bar whilst local suppliers will have lost out. They have bought the assets for no doubt pence in the pound - including a Twitter account with the clubs old badge used to launch this new bar.

Money can buy a football club, but doesn't buy the ability to read the room.

Think they're going to be paying local suppliers upfront for quite some time!

Given that we're at Hartlepool the following Tuesday, I would have been very surprised if we'd agreed to that.
