  1. My first meet was not a player but a Manager. My Uncle was into his shooting and game. One Sunday while round playing with my Cousin prob aged about 7 my Uncle told us to get in the car and we were going to pick something up. We went out into Countryside for what seemed ages and got to this Farmhouse. A lady answered the door and we went into the kitchen and an old guy was sat at the table in a flat cap. Yes, it was Big Jack. My Uncle had gone to pick some pheasants (dead ones), off him. Turns out he was one of his shooting contacts. Remember Mrs Charlton getting me and my Cousin a lemonade.
  2. Always thought we should have gone with Rowett when we appointed Monk.
  3. I work in Procurement for a £100m business and it is amazing how much stuff still has to pass across the Owner / MD's desk for sign off. Probably similar to your scenario at Hillsborough.
  4. So Chansiri has picked the team to go up against one of the best in the Division with a Midfield of Bannan and Vaulks. Regardless of thoughts onbthe Chairman this was a naive set up at best.
  5. Why have Powell and Pederson said this ain't gonna work ??
  6. That is the key point. Midfield of Bannan and Vaulks keeping shop while the young uns attack. Always going to end in tears. Need prime Sammy Hutch or that young Aussie Fella from Ipswich in there.
  7. Does he also mention his suicidal team selection and lack of fight from the team once behind ?
  8. So a division in the fan base has caused someone to show a picture of a cancer stricken child to away fans, two people to gesture towards Kasey Palmer and probably some Youths throw Coke bottles at meslier. Doubt any division also causes the loons in T1 block wanting the badge of honor of being located there or partaking in marching powder. All societal issues. If we were discussing fans fighting between each other due to division then fair enough. Do think however Stewarding needs to be stonger and possibly the outsourced Company that runs it needs to place their tougher / stronger willed characters more suitably in certain areas of the ground. Remember a Female Steward on the Kop a good few years back who was a right battleaxe and she would not shy away from approaching anyone if required. A lot of the Stewards seem to be young students who stand there looking at their feet.
  9. He came and sat with us in The Beekeeper in Hillsborough before the Bristol City match a few weeks ago. Was same old Ricky - blotto, firstly questioning if we were Wednesday and then once happy we were kept saying We're all Wednesday. My other Ricky memory is an Oldham away game many years ago he got on our mini bus and refused to get off. As we were going to Stocksbridge he ended up with us in the pubs there for a couple of hours. Remember him having a Gabrielle album in his pocket on cassette and made us play it in the mini bus ! The mini bus driver kept the Gabrielle cassette ! We eventually put Ricky on the Number 57 bus to Sheffield. RIP Ricky.
  10. Definitely saw a half and half scarf at the Manchester Derby last weekend.
  11. I suspect we have an option for another season on loan.
  12. The Christmas Party is like the Fishing Trip on Gavin and Stacey !
