Glen Tamplin is fast challenging Mansfield Town as the official ambassador for the Tinpot Thread.

According to a Guardian article I read by the late 80s he was banned from attending matches in a Manchester junior league, and was made to feel very unwelcome if he did turn up (forcibly removed, beaten up, etc). It does seem incredible that he could be banned from attending local junior...

A shame really. I had a joke all lined up about fancying Wigan in the replay because they'll feel at home playing in front of 1000s of empty blue seats.

Will Grigg.

Hopefully this will convince the Sheikh to get the chequebook out.

Ho ho.

Are there any links to these police investigations that have been mentioned? I'm curious as to what their aims and scope were, because I get the feeling some might be getting a bit carried away waving them around as if they vindicate anyone involved in running the club at the time.

Were there problems at our game? If anything the problems were caused by segregation - not enough toilets, not enough turnstiles, bar running out, etc. However that's a pretty standard experience for us at this level.

Interesting interview with Potter in the Guardian today: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/feb/12/graham-potter-another-path-for-english-managers-ostersund-arsenal-europa-league It's a shame he didn't get the Stoke job. Ryan Shawcross in a production of Swan Lake would have been something.

...two bloody minutes after I'd bought a bus ticket. Quite surprised it was called off. Pitch didn't look great on Tuesday but it was far from unplayable. At the very least the club/officials should have made arrangements for an earlier pitch inspection. It hasn't rained that much today, so if...

I think as it stands we're just short of play-off quality. We're very good going forward and, unusually for this level, are quite comfortable in possession. However, our defence has too many mistakes in it, and as soon as we come under a bit of pressure we panic and start conceding silly...

I know it's only the Trophy, etc...But that was one of the best games I've been to I'm quite some time. Absolutely battered them in the first half and should have been out of sight. Conceded two very sloppy goals in the second half. Cue the usual time wasting antics. Pull back two goals from...

Bring on Barca.

We're kind enough to give Curzon a bunch of our players and this is how they repay us :mell:

I'm officially bringing the Gainsborough love-in of last week to an end. I don't know what I was thinking.

Sod VAR. That was hilarious.

Of both these looks, I think I prefer cuddly Olivier Giroud to moody Grindr profile.

The last player that I can think of to come to the Conference North after a prolific spell with Clitheroe was Sefton Gonzales. :err:

Us being beyond redemption might excuse his record with us. What excuses his record at Alty?

I hope his temporary reign of terror doesn't last long enough for him to loan your top goal scorer to a club in the division above and generously offer to pay his wages, just to sweeten the deal. Oh, and install some revolving doors at The Shay in preparation for Young's patented Hungry Hungry...
