Be an assistant kitman? 😉

Out of interest @masi 51 what is it you believe the kitman does at Bolton, or any other professional club?

F’s coach put them into a tournament in Burnley way last summer. Correctly put them into Medium section (the team could be considered lower end of medium, but has a couple of lads at the higher end, or lower end of high). Anyway, they naturally had 3 sections. Lower, Medium and High ability. There were ZERO entries/applications for the high ability group and kids were pitching up in full Burnley and Blackburn gear from their ETC games that morning. Bonkers. Our lads got walloped 7-1 by a team in a 20 minute game!

Thats what we’ll do. Wealdstone straight to Wembley. Get in there and have a couple of Mojito’s from the cocktail bar in the bottom tier. Posh hotdog, or hog roast barm with stuffing. Happy days.

Mates just had his u10 at that Toughsheet tournament. I fuckin hate grassroots tournaments, but this sounds like exactly why. One of the team he regularly comes up against only had one of their regulars playing (coaches son) and the rest of them are academy lads from some high end small group coaching thing. Another high ability team deliberately threw their last game so they could drop into the “Europa league” and promptly smashed the lower ability groups to “win” a trophy. At least their were no reports of violence and the bar was closed

Liverpool are putting resources over Bolton way but on Sunday mornings

I reckon I’ve got a season or two in me

Feels like they’re only team in the premier league who intend to pass the fall forwards. They’re actually quite an entertaining watch

My crowdnonce predictions are:- BWFC: 29,000 STFC: 18,000

They might not be if they drop points at Bournemouth on Chewsdi

Stockport have only been allocated 22,000. Obviously they're entitled to more should there be sufficient demand Not sure if that's by request, or based on ave.attendances. We have been allocated 36,241

That could be any 7ft lion

It's never dull when there's so much jeopardy.. People texting me last night saying it was the worst game they'd ever seen, but I was totally gripped. Because of the tension... In hindsight, had I been watching that as a neutral, I'd have struggled with it

Yeah mate.. Via Wealdstone

Coaches (already) paid for. Tickets sorted tomorrow morning. Jobs a good un. 30 odd of us on the rolling pub from the Stocks
