When Pep leaves our club it won't be for more money or a better job, it will be to escape simpletons like this.

As an aside why do girls giggle at everything.
Today is Thursday
'Oh my god, giggle, laugh in a high pitched whine, is it more giggles wow giggle giggle fuckin' giggle.

I’m from Barrow and when I read that I got all defensive for a second or two. Then I remembered why I left and calmed down again :)
The local football are doing well though. None of the players live there and they train in Salford, but still…..

I worked on the nuclear waste carrier Pacific Swan owned by Fishers in Barrow for three months in 1986 and I have fond memories of the place. I even set up a newspaper delivery for the lads onboard from a local newsagents as it was too far to walk, the guy used to drop them off in his car every morning. I have been racking my brains trying to remember the main pub we used to drink in, a big white pub in the centre I'm sure it began with a P. Actually it could have been the Imperial, bloody memory lol! It was funny as we had a black deck hand onboard also from Manchester called Stan, a real character that wore a hat everywhere. I don't think there was many black guys living there at the time and he became quite a novelty around town.

I worked for Fishers after I got laid off from the shipyard in ‘92! I was a nightwatchman in the docks guarding a few hundred aluminium anodes from local thieves. Great company to work for and I met some real ‘gents’ who treated you with respect.
I know the Imperial very well - they used to have a lager in there called Slalom; absolutely bloody awful stuff :)

Yes good pub, I think it's a hotel now.
 
Paul Mullin has caused a bit of stir across the border…

Chuffed for Wrexham and the owners , just amazed at the difference in the medias reaction when compared to the hatred for our owners !!! Wonder what the difference is ??

Yeah, that’s not Ryan and Rob’s fault, obviously. They are who they are and they’ve done a fantastic job at Wrexham after many false dawns for the club and supporters.

But it does chaff that their investment and transfer dealings are largely seen differently to ours, even in the beginning.

Who knows if that changes, though, as they rise the tiers.

made up for them - this is their Gillingham and Wembley moment - its why we all follow a football club. Just as importantly despite all the bleating its what happens when you bring NEW money into football and don't try and secure success by means of a leveraged buy out loading the club with debt. Fair play.

On the other side I grew up in Middleton son of a Blue, Grandson of a Blue and great grandson of a Blue. I was never going to be anything else but I did sometimes visit other nearby clubs and what has happened to Bury - Oldham and now the Dale does fill me with despair - I knew lads who supported these clubs and I am sure they are devastated.

They did, then they joined in the lower tier english leagues and worked their way up.

I don't think they've been in a Welsh league for over 100 years.
Cardiff, Swansea, and Wrexham didn't have to join the Welsh League formed about 30 or 40 years ago (the one TNS keep winning) as they were in the Football League and Merthyr also escaped as they were in the Conference and looking for promotion to the FL.
 
They could have bought any club and they would have gone up. Just so happens to be Wrexham who were lucky to be chosen. Just like Salford money buys success.Ben Foster is not a non league player so why would he be there? I’ve got no interest in this media frenzy for them and their Hollywood owners
