Separate. 15 Tickets arrived before 8am!!! Normal post not due till nearer lunchtime.

Very simple and easy - I was impressed - 15 tickets now sorted - I think the ticket office deserve some credit for getting this right. 45 minutes wait to let me login, left the browser open and I carried on working, when it let me login it was less than 10 minutes to get all 15 tickets in one booking. Definitely better than the time I spent queuing outside Burnden for 6 hours for Wembley tickets.

Just about sums it up. Col. Plus the question about foreign ownership, which allowed Gartside to say Eddie Davies had given ?100M to the club. Now as I understand it, this "gift" was Eddie buying the club and providing loans (at a nice rate of interest) e.g. the money to buy Elmander. Don't get me wrong I am grateful the club have Eddie's money, I am sure we wouldn't be watching premiership football without his investment. But what happens when Eddie Davies is no longer here? I am guessing his family will want the money out sharpish. Then what happens? I only thought of this afterwards, so a question for next time I guess. Also when answering the question about money being available for new players, Gartside let is slip that it is costing the club an additional ?4-?5M in wages for the new players (by my maths an average of ?20K a week) and that all the additional money from SKY, which has gone from ?4M a year (10 years ago) to nearly ?50M this year, all goes on wages. No real shock, I guess but still a staggering amount of money.

Funniest part was so called life long West Ham fan David Gold failling to name the three West ham players who "won the world cup for England" and whose statues are outside their ground. He names Bobby Moore and can then be heard to say "help me out who are the other two".

Lets hope they do get out of it or its just administration and the nine points deduction. Because if what I am told is true there is a worse scenario. If they go into administration and the administartor cannot solve things, then the business goes completely tits up, they get expelled from the league and all points won against them do not count - this would mean a 3 points loss for us.

I seem to remember we had a supporters club in LA? Is that the only one? I work for a US owned company and have managed to educate a few that there is more to "Soccer" that just the Scum, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea. I would like to put them in touch with a club if one exists. I tried a google search but couldn't find anything. Anyone know of one?

Correct Fenerbache. How the hell did you get that. Thought it would need more clues than that.

Two clues: photo taken earlier today and it was taken from a boat?

Peter Shilton 125 Caps for England, played against Wolves in the Play-Off semi Final against Wolves.

I'd friends down for two days so had the day in Manchester with them. Atmosphere in Albert Square was great till about mid afternoon, when you could sense something would happen. So after the lads with tickets went to the ground we left the square - looks like we made the right decision. Managed to get in a pub just as they were shutting the doors. Cracking atmosphere, until the goal. I was talking to some guys who were stopping in Blackpool. Apparantly at Blackpool train station they made an announcmenet that they could only move 400 people every half an hour and as a result were not letting folk enter the station as it was too crowded. So these guys had got a taxi!! Cost them ?100. Also chatting with some others who were staying in Garstang!!

Agreed Click on this link Snipe Been using it for years, reliable and not too expensive.
