The Art of Hand and Foot

I thought the bit where fordy was asked when it became known he was involved in the take over? He said not until the day it was announced!!!!!! It was all done by a third party.

After the match Mick Worrall and Bruiser got on the stage and sang 'maybe it's because I'm an Oldhamer'!!!

I read somewhere, not sure where, that a French player/coach/official, not sure if league or the other code, was asked if the split hadn't happened what would Rugby look like today? And he answered Rugby League. His premise was that the game would have naturally evolved as there wouldn't be as much resistance to change.

What a really nice bloke, and his mum ! I'm really proud that oldham was a pivotal reason for getting him to where he is now. One day Tyler , when we're back in superleague, I hope you can return to us !

JT'S in the squad.

According to the 2 threads about him on the fev forum he was injured and left in order to focus on his rehabilitation. So he's either recovered or he's been signed in readiness for next season!

I notice in the latest league express that there are no stats for league 1. All the other leagues stats are shown. I'm assuming cian tyrer is top of the try charts!?

Two problems with that: first we increase the risk of getting injuries to key players in the 'easier' games and secondly we need give peripheral players game time so that they are match fit in case we need them. It also stops them from being disappointed and losing heart. Emerson whittle being an example.

Back in the day, before social media and while he was still playing, he used to do interviews and punditry for some clubs. It was done via telephone. You would phone a certain number for your club and listen to the interview. Them were the days!

If its a billionaire then I guess you're right. However, there is something cohesive about all three entities coming together in a joint enterprise.

I'm an outsider, but I want the hornets to do well. I think Oldham, with both clubs and council, have shown the way by investing in the pitch. That opens up revenue in many areas. So come on Rochdale council, invest in a new state of the art pitch.

Could be wrong, but I think it was the Saddleworth session that we were asked to attend!

This is from the rules of entry to BPof, and I think it applies to when we play, things not allowed : 7.1.1 smoking inside the stadium (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the smoking of electronic cigarettes and any other vapour omitting substitutes); However, there is rule about not drinking alcohol within sight of the game, yet we're allowed to drink beer. So you may need to seek clarification from officials.

I had edited the post prior to your post saying the difference is that hull is used in their names. I live in Wigan borough so I know! Leigh is a borough of Wigan. So whenever they play each other I say 'town centre versus suburb'' just to wind them both up.

Why does wigan have two teams? Why does Wakefield have three? It's down to socio economic reasons. The difference with the hull situation is that they both have Hull in their name.
