  1. The last few times we’ve been to Wigan the police numbers have been boosted by police from around the quieter (in footballing terms) areas. A high number of North Wales Constabulary, for instance but also Cumbria and Cheshire. These outside police teams will have very little experience of policing large football games. Are GMP puffing out their chests and telling their inexperienced colleagues “This is how we deal with idiots!”
  2. Let’s not forget his early coaching days would probably have been mentored by Ian Holloway. Very few run their mouth off more than he does.
  3. Oh, I thought the last time was when Bogdan had a blinder; so much so that Liverpool bought him. (And then played him twice and loaned him out a lot)
  4. For some unknown reason FB have decided I need to know the away ticketing arrangements for Portsmouth fans when they come to the Reebok. Interesting that each band of loyalty points get a full day to purchase their tickets. Also interesting they’re only allocating 2,600 seats. I assume Neil will be looking to up that number to the full 5k+.
  5. Certainly last time we played there (FACup) the atmosphere was very poor.
  6. Just been on news that a body which has been positively identified as still intact has apparently already been cremated and the family have already collected the ashes. I’m not sure how the families will get closure.
  7. Indeed. There are ways to avoid the police corralling fans who get off a public train ballooning. Avoiding them when you just got off a football special is a bit more difficult.
  8. Sounds like Derbyshire Constabulary would love to know where folk are.
  9. I always thought that was reserved for our East Anglian friends from Norwich and Ipswich.
  10. Don’t recall that one. Was it to the tune “If I had a hammer…?” In the same direction, (to the tune, My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean) we used to sing “If I had the wings of a sparrow, if I had the arse of a crow, I’d fly over <blackburn> tomorrow, and shit on the bastards below. Shit on, shit on, shit on the bastards below, below. Shit on, shit on, shit on the bastards below.” or (to the tune “He’s only a poor little sparrow”) He’s only a poor little cockney. His face is all tattered and torn. He made me feel sick so I hit him with a brick and now he don’t sing anymore!

    Or sets him back another few weeks.
  12. Just for clarity, is an incorrect spelling mistake actually a word spelled correctly?
  13. He’s changed his tune since his days as a Boy Soprano singing We’re Walking in the Air.

  15. Not on file, on his office wall, I’d imagine. 🤣
  16. Game doesn’t even finish until ten. That’s got to impact on those with school-age kids.
  17. Central Tickets doesn’t sound as reasonable as a dickpic to NiC.
  18. Trains booked Manchester- London Thursday return Saturday ✅ Trains booked Kings X - Stevenage and back ✅ Hotel booked central London ✅ Theatre on Thursday evening ❌* Train back to Manchester via St Pancras and Sheffield ✅ * If I know anyone who can sort out a couple of FREE or cheap theatre tickets it’d be appreciated.
  19. It really is no j oak. A fit punishment might be the birch.
  20. I’m just guessing at what could be going on but getting shut of femurs and skulls would be a bugger. The skin and muscles could quite easily be liquidised and flushed away but big bones; not quite so easy.
  21. Do you think every body goes in a refrigerator? 35 bodies from 3 branches of the same Funeral Directors is only 11/12 per branch. Not unusual I can’t think of any financial advantage to be gained. They can’t be selling off bodies for medical research or other reason because the buyer would then need to get rid of the bodies. An empty coffin can’t be cremated because the staff would notice the lack of bones; particularly femur and skull. They can’t be charging for the funeral but not laying out the money on behalf of the family. Whether burial or cremation the funeral needs to be paid for even if they found a way not to have a body in. The only thing I can think of is them not putting the right body in the corresponding coffin. The police are asking recently bereaved families for identifying features of their loved one. If they find the deceased based on an accurate description of identifiers but the funeral has already taken place then someone’s in the shit; big time.
  22. Blaming APC, I think you’re barking up the wrong tree.
