Re: Whose car is this?

Didn't you ask him? Mind you I bumped into a lad in a poolie shirt in Liverpool the other day, tried to speak with him and he walked away looking terrified!! Could it be something to do with the fact you are 6ft 6ins or thereabouts? A Poolie fan in our Manor DBTS? I'll keep and eye out when I am in...

Re: Gaskell

I don't understand why Gaskell has split opinion? Yes he hit a bad run of form towards the end of the season, but he was also clearly carrying a knock. He was a major reason why we got promoted in my opinion. Glad to see he's signed a new contract. I am glad he has put pen to paper and has committe...

Re: Alan White

Good to see Darlo have now officially thanked Whitey for his contribution over the his various spells with us. As Tezza has said I am sure that off the field in those last few weeks of the season he played an important part. Good luck to him and Spenny even though they are clearly still our biggest ...

Re: Spenny signings

He said it to the club's official mouthpiece Craig Stoddart in the Northern Echo, published May 2nd: ...

Think Gaskell will be released if we sign who we are after. Why on earth would we release Gaskell?!? Nonsense. Because he lives & works over 2 hours away, is the wrong side of 30 & scored just once in the last 1/3 of the season. Not saying it would be the right or wrong decision but those are the f...

Have I missed something? Have the Club asked the Fans for their nominations like last year yet? I know there was some activity on here a few weeks ago when we had about 8 games or so left, but don't recall seeing anything since.
