    Bought a gig ticket but wanted a better seat. Spoke to the supplier but because it’s sold out said the only thing I can do is use the Twickets

    Put my ticket in can’t sell it for more than face value , put what ticket I want. Got a notification saying one is available. So I bought that, then got a notification that mine has an offer so sold it. 

    Fuck you Touts!

    Twickets is great I use it all the time.

    Where did his support for Swinton come from. 

    I think his support first started when Swinton moved to play at Gigg Lane, I'm sure his daughter went to school in Bury or had some affiliation with Bury and he got some tickets to watch Swinton and just became hooked. 

  3. Top man is Simon, I'm luckily enough to know him personally and spend nearly every Sunday (when Bolton aren't playing) watching Swinton RL home and away with him, his knowledge is unbelievable he remembers absolutely everything regarding BWFC.

    John Bramwell is playing at The Snug in Atherton next month.

    Fantastic! Can't remeber how many times I've seen him, followed I Am Kloot everywhere years ago. 

  5. I find a head collar called a Dogmatic is the best to use, my Rottie more or less stopped pulling instantly, the only problem I find with the Haltis is thay they can ride up into the dogs eyes..... Take a look at the Dogmatic.

    Used to buy died liver sticks in net bags from the market, don't see them anymore. They were ideal.

    He's doing good, came to my command without any build up at lunchtime, too early to trust him though

    Recall is always difficult (well the trust) I used a long lunge line before I had full confidence in letting my off.

    Just shown Diesel the picture... "Work hard at your recall pal and I'll take you for a run on the beach"

    Really good first session in the garden today today, got it quickly but bits of grilled chicken always helps 🙂

    He has virtually no recall but is being to get a quick whistle and "come here"

    Little and often is the trick now

    I used Lambs liver as a treat, it was like coke for a dog!

    Tragic they lost station road, I’ve a soft spot for Swinton having gone to school in Wardley where there were plenty of Swinton fans, watched them couple of seasons back against Leigh, mate of mines good pals with ex coach littler and he came into the box after for a chat and a beer. The Swinton fans were infront of the box and spotted some faces I remember from school. Would be great if they could relocate somewhere in Swinton. 

    The dream is to return to Swinton but I don't think it will ever happen, the closest we will get will be Moor Lane (Salford FC when they move to the AJBell)

    Used to go for a few years from early 70s with my dad and then with a couple of mates home and away until mid 80s when i moved away. Had some great entertainers then like Alva, Green Vigo, Danny Wilson of course, and Wayne Rutene. Often the yo yo club when i watched them which allowed me to see them at places like Headingley as well as Huyton. Now that was a rum place to go. 
    still keep an eye on scores but lost much of my interest really over the years. 
    Are you a big fan then.

    Yes, generally home and away, after  station road burnt down I continued to go to Gigg Lane for a couple years then took a break from watching them.....we still have a big core of fans that you would still remeber who have continued after all these years, gutted we got relegated last season as some of the games now are non events unfortunately.

    I've always had rotties - incredible dogs when they're brought up right. 

    The guy I bought our last one off is about as good as you'll ever find. He's a German fella called Kurt who looks a lot like Father Christmas and his whole life is rotties. 

    His Facebook page is "Rottweiler vom Eylauer-Hof"

    He's in Leigh but spends half his time in Germany. Not sure whether he'll still be able to breed and bring them over in the same way post Brexit.

    All his dogs are temperament tested to three or four generations which Is never heard of before but is apparently a thing in Germany. If they show any signs of unwanted aggression or are difficult to train - he won't breed from them. Amazing guy. One of those breeders who is very much assessing whether you could properly look after one of his pups rather than being interested in grabbing your money. We had to go round to his for an hour - and then he came round to ours for an hour too before he'd sell. 

    Love the guy! 

    Fantastic dogs......I got my first Rottie last year from a reputable breeder too from Glossop, The bitch is a champion and the farther is a Serbian champ, it took some convincing for my wife to agree to a Rottie, and now she would have no other dog (she's had different breeds all her life).

    We’d rather have won though. 
    The Delf stick is just folk getting pissed off with the total lack of effort from a player who has never looked like he wanted to be here. It’s a fuck off from me.

    Yep agree on Delph, never looked intrested from the day we signed him. 

  14. If in January anyone would have told me we would be in an automatic promotion place with 4 games to go and it was in our own hands I would have asked them what drugs they were on, we would never make it easy so let's enjoy the ride..... Eieieio.
