Gravel rash

EH “You can’t keep selling my best players, sell Guimaraes to Arsenal and I’m off.” NUFC “We’re selling Guimaraes to Arsenal.” EH “I’m off!” Which then gives Guimaraes the perfect opportunity to say “ I can’t stay here without EH, I now have to go to Arsenal, I shall always love this club and it’s fans, farewell.” Or is this just me being an old cynic? 🤔

Plus John Aldridge used to play for them, what more reason could anyone need?

No, we’re going down Saturday, staying a couple of nights in Premier Inn, Edgware, might even bump into Lenny Henry…well you never know. Our trip to Yorkshire, to whichever Godforsaken hell hole it was, even gave us the choice of two trains. The first one left five minutes earlier but got to destination ten minutes later, tell me how that one works? Needless to say we chose the latter for the extra fifteen minutes drinking time, not to be sniffed at. I can’t see that being the case this weekend, in fact Bank Holiday Sunday there’ll be fewer trains if anything. It would be terrible if any Stockport fans were left waiting at the altar 🤭

I’ve just had an idle thought re Stockport fans travelling down by train. Couple of seasons ago we were travelling to Yorkshire, Sheffield W or Doncaster probably, but can’t remember. The train from Piccadilly was rammed with us, it pulled into Stockport and there were a hundred or so Stockport fans off to there game in Yorkshire….they couldn’t get on. It’ll be the same this weekend I’d have thought…..what are they going to do? It isn’t worrying me, it was just a thought, I do this sort of stuff sometimes! 🤷‍♂️😬

God bless you Bolty, chance of a meet up at Wembley? We are going up! 🍻

Come on Wanderers, now is the hour…..NOW IS THE HOUR!!

Out of my brain on the 8.15…….ask Roger Daltrey 😉

Agree completely Ronnie. You can see Sharon’s character there once again, for me she’s 100% genuine. It’s good to hear that they’re both saying something “great” is happening at the club. Memories fade with time and it’s easy to become blasé about things. I watched the “ Big Sam’s Bolton” programme recently and it wowed me. It reminded me of just how great that period of our history was. For our club to attract those players and achieve the things we did was truly PHENOMENAL. Seeing John McGinlay reminded me of his era too, he was a true warrior. Whenever we had a big game and we had many during that time, whenever we needed a goal, he’d pop up and bag it. If a prime John McGinlay was in our current squad we wouldn’t be scrapping for the play offs, we’d be out in front of Lincoln. We’ve had our wobble, I was at Port Vale and witnessed its pinnacle. (fellow sufferers watch the above videos - they help 👍🙂) I’m proud to be a Wanderer and wouldn’t swap it for anyone or anything, I hope SB and J Mc are both correct, something great is happening and another memorable era is on the way. It started at Plymouth and continues tomorrow against the Stockport hat makers. COYFWM!

Hiya Bolty, Wanderlust, that’s the fella! 😉

I thought Moylan looked good, Draper too and McCandless? he looked good for this level of football. Expected CBT to skin Diakwa all game but after a bright start he faded and Apter disappointingly never even got started. Some good performances in there too though. Quite impressed with Lincoln but not overly. A physical side but not whinging about it, I think if we could add some of that to our game we’d get a better chance to show our quality. Someone mentioned earlier that’s how Big Sam’s teams did it. An old school Lever Ender lives at Scampton near the old base, Ginge, Ginger or more correctly Kev Lawson. Scooter boy who organises huge charity rides across the country etc, good lad. He features in the Quadophenia film a few times 🙂

Hiya Dimron, I recall bumping into the Strugglers landlady on a couple of nights when she was off duty. She would go in the Wig and Pen pub? or whatever it’s called near the top of Steep Hill. She did like a drink if memory serves me right. No I never lived over there, I did stay in many hotels though. The White Hart in Lincoln centre plus Holiday Inn? on the waterfront. Various others all over Lincs, Petwood at Woodhall Spa was a favourite because of the Dambuster connections. Anyway, watched the game on telly, they were a well motivated, well organised physical side with some good players for this league. We struggled to compete for big spells of the game, but we stuck at it , got the equaliser, then tried to nick a winner. Happy with the point but feel slightly fortunate. Beat Reading and more importantly Evatts Oranges (always hated them for so many reasons, too many to recount here) and I will feel a lot better.

Envious Dimron. Great day for a football match over there, hope the Struggler still has the real ales, the wood fires and sound locals. Had a few good nights in there, the landlady was a real character.
