A tenner would be a start for the cause!
Not got the Stoke away one I'm afraid but just having a shifty through and got a wierd looking thing from Monday 4th November 1957 home against CDSA (Central Home of the Soviet Army) Moscow. Looks like they were over here trying to make friends! This must be a rare one!
Get a tenner to Neil and PM me with your address and I'll send it to you.
Cheers.

All sorted.

Cheers Neil.

Just cleared the loft out come across a shed load of old programmes dating back to the 50s. Think me dad must of give 'em me years back as I only popped out in the late 60s!
They'll only gather dust so any ideas where's best to get rid and get a few quid? Any of you lot collect this sort of thing and need anything?
Looks like there's loads of good 'uns in there inc:
Loads of home & away - league, cup 1950s onwards
Final 53
Semi & Final 58
Testimonials - Lofthouse, Rimmer, Hassall
Last game at Burnden signed by Supa John when I met him after in the Pack Horse!
Some pre-season foreign thing from germany in 1970!
Cheers for the advice in advance!

Having been at the helm of a Conference club (although it wasn't quite the Premiership!) there is a popular misconception among fans that increased gates means more money available for players, etc. Problem is that gate money is only a small % of income. If we filled the 'bok every game this year, then it's mean about an extra 8k people per game, paying an average of ?20 for 20 games = ?3.2m and when you've paid the vat comes to about ?2.7m - a small dent in our deficit.
Where the 'eck is the rest of the deficit going to get made up from? You can't cut player contracts (just hope that the deadwood players contracts expire soon) so I guess we'll be relying on Eddie and profits from player trading for quite a while yet ..... Unfortuntely for us I think we have maximised our merchandise revenue with our supporter base so can't see any extra cash coming from us lot tbh.
When these figures came out I wondered if they were running the football and 'other' businesses separately which does have its tax advantages but I don't think they are looking at the totals.
We'll be fine, somehow!

Jeepers this came as a bit of a shock.
I guess big money transfers are off limits for a while at least .....

No idea why or how this bloke got all his info from but he's managed to put together a list of every player since the war who's played for the Wanderers, position, where they came from, where they went, appearances and goals.
Have a gander at My link
I've been going since the early 70s but it's amazing the names I forgot, or may be just chose to forget! There must be some names on there that are wrong. Anyone spot any?

Lost count of the times a cross field longish (don't do long ball anymore) ball went over to CYL in 2nd half.
Give the lad the ball on the floor and he'll do the business. He ain't gonna win sod all in the air for god sakes.

Never a straight red. Looked like Klasnic just pushed the Stoke lad in the chest to stop him from pulling Taylor's shirt off his back.
Second yellow was shite. Not even a free kick.
Ref was and is shite.

Cheers for that. Just went to try with my phone and looks like the missus must have deleted it off the planner!
Anyone else got a copy by any chance?
-
Last saturday Soccer am showed a mock advert featuring SKD with Capello etc.
Got it on my Sky+ but anyone any idea on how to get it from there on to my lap top?
Excuse the ignorance but it was fantastic and I need to send it to a few folks!
Cheers,

Bent out now with groin strain ..... but Capello just said that Crouch will start. Bollox.

Dappy cows!
Two birds from Bolton thought Munich won everything last year and it cost 'em a few hundred grand!! Ha ha that'll teach 'em!
One with the dodgy hair had a fit bod tho'!
p.s. hope none of you lot know 'em .........

No relation to anyone.
Did score 2 at the Reebok in the first Football Aid match.
Went out on the lash with Laurie McMenemy, Alan Hudson, Alan Brazil and Steve Foster a couple of years back and the more they got p*ssed then the more stories they told which can't be put on here. Steve Foster did get a bit gay though. Alan Hudson a p*ss head as if we didn't know - triple vodka and orange - what's all that a bout?
Told that I was the first person ever to be "requested to leave" one of the corporate boxes at the Emirates this year when we went 3 - 2 down.
But my all time favourite and it still cracks me up when I think about it, early 90's when we had Wolves away in the F A Cup I couldn't get a ticket. Still had my plaster cast in the garage from a few months back so phoned Wolves asking about disability area. Mugs gave me two free tickets and parking space next to the entrance. Got there but couldn't park up as I was driving and needed to tape my cast on so went up to the supermarket bit and did it there. Sat in 2nd row behind the goal where we scored and still put the Roadrunner video on to see us sat there with big grins. Did leave a couple of mins early and left the cast in the parking space they gave us as it stunk and I couldn't drive with it on!!
Can't think of owt else at mo,

'Don't be shy and introduce yourself' - Born and bred in Farnworth but been down south since '83. Go to every game I can these days.
I take loads of 'cockney' bollox but always there when I can. Came up with 5 Chelsea lads when we got beat 0-4 last month. Sat in the ESL with the lot of 'em and they were good as gold. Quiet as a mouse they were. Fair play.
Always been a white and always will be.

Tonight summed it up for me. Premiership football is bollocks and I've been watching the Whites since 1970.
Fair play tonight, we dominated the 1st half and deserved a half time lead even when they scored we should have got rid but these things happen.
2nd half, Wenger must have said fall over at any opportunity and the ref will back us up. Ref will support it. It happened. We sat back a bit and paid the penalty although how the ref didn't see the French twat fly in on M Davies I don't know.
Cut a long story short, 4 of us were in a box (freebie rather than contribute to AFC) and had a few beers but got asked to leave in the end by 5 stewards as we were weren't allowed to cheer for the whites, argue against any ref decision, etc. Box 8 (next to us) rared up and it kicked off 'verbally'. That's it. What a load of shite. And home I went. No choice. 3-2 at the time.
40 odd now but remember the old days like yesterday, like turning the clock back, but without the numbers.
Train back home was interesting ...... a few of the AFC lads in the buffet car talking about the old days. How the fuck can they enjoy a night out spending a fortune in a stadium like an opera house where the beer is warm and 11 twats falling over whenever a real bloke gets near 'em defeats me?
