  1. If you get your broadband & phone with Sky, it'll cost you an extra ?15 a month (10 for your b/band & 5 for your phone). Only drawback to this is that you need a B.T. line & they'll charge you about another ?11.99 a month.
  2. Tis tomorrow at 11am if anyone is still interested. Apparently Mr Garside is going to be there too.
  3. Why are the red scum being discussed on Wanderersways? Just thought I'd ask like.
  4. In that, I have no doubt. It was daft to let him go IMO.
  5. Went passed the new ground t'other week and it looks alreet. Me & a few others are gonna attend a few games this season, just to check the ground out. So they might get 105 in attendance for a couple of games.
  6. Another Quinten Fortune for me.
  7. Sorry, I stand corrected. 2005 Djibril Ciss?, Liverpool and France footballer, becomes Lord of the Manor of Frodsham. The title was recorded in the Domesday book.
  8. Isnt he The Earl of Frodsham or summert like that??
  9. It's a farce IMO. They would just get round it by getting passports for the country they're playing in. E.g. All the South Americans with Italian/ Portugese/ Spanish passports. Jeez, there's even Brazilian born players playing for Croatia.
  10. According to th'f.a. they've sold 70,000 tickets for tomorrow.
  11. If it was Bolton & Millwall who caused the trouble. How come none of those charged are from the said towns? Strange!!
  12. The grave in which Bolton Wanderers' founder the Rev John Farrall Wright was lain to rest is to be restored to the glory it deserves. Preparations are underway for a service to re-dedicate the moss-covered grave, found at Christ Church, Walmsley, by churchwarden Judith Page last year. The grave, which had lain unnoticed for 124 years, had been tracked down by author Peter Lupson whose book, Thank God For Football, explores the Christian roots of some of the country's biggest clubs. Mr Lupson said: "It was an amazing feeling to find it. "Suddenly the person becomes real. They are not just a figure in a book and I found that quite moving." Now a service is being planned to re-dedicate the site, restore the grave and add an inscription recognising Rev Wright as the founder of Bolton Wanderers. He was the vicar of Christ Church in Deane Road, which no longer exists, and persuaded Tom Ogden, the headmaster of the nearby Christ Church School, to start a football club at the Sunday School. Christ Church FC was formed in June 1874 but three years later became Bolton Wanderers. The club got its name because it had no home ground of its own and played where it could. Work will take place to straighten Rev Wright's grave, install a channel around it, clean the stone and rework the existing lettering. An extra inscription will also be added, reading "Founder of Bolton Wanderers Football Club 1874". A service will be held at the grave at Christ Church on June 27 at 11am to re-dedicate the site. Those involved in the project are looking forward to the day. Mr Lupson, who also found Mr Ogden's grave in an unmarked plot in Heaton Cemetery, said: "I feel immensely proud that my humble research has given him the recognition he deserves. "I also have a great sense of relief that he will not be forgotten. "The service will give him back to the town, which is important." Simon Marland, club secretary for Bolton Wanderers added: "It was great news when the grave was found and now to be able to recognise our founder is fantastic. "Before he was just a name and we didn't know much about him but now we have some new history."
  13. Two words spring to mind, and they both rhyme with bumper.
  14. Sheffield United and Nottingham Forest are understood to have both agreed a fee with Derby County for the Wales international striker Robert Earnshaw. The 27-year-old joined Derby from Norwich for ?3.5m last summer but, after a chastening season at Pride Park during which he made only seven Premier League starts, Paul Jewell is prepared to sanction the forward's departure. It is believed that Derby have accepted bids in the region of ?2.75m for the player. Might be worth taking a chance for that price.
  15. Apparently, Scott Sinclair will be included in the Chelski first team squad next season. So loan looks a no go IMO.
  16. They should give the European place to the team who finished in the next highest postition in the league,after the UEFA Cup places have been handed out. End of.
  17. A place in Europe for fair play?? They'll be giving out a place in Europe for the best pies next!!!
  18. Or as Mr Megson would say " What's a striker "??
