An interesting read. Another opportunity to place a cat among the pigeons though!

One point though.

"I’ve made the point myself before that the North Stand at Christie Park was the heart and soul of Morecambe Football Club and should have been rebuilt at the new stadium – as was mooted at one time but dropped without any official explanation that I’m aware of from the Powers That Were."

Pretty sure the official explanation was at the time, the option was looked at but would have been very [prohibitively] expensive.

Excellent review , some will moan but it's perfect in my opinion, sums the situation up totally, as for Keiths query regarding the North stand , I think the main excuse was the limited time factor regarding carefully removing it when Sainsbury's wanted the bulldozers in days after the final game, Accrington Stanley actually wanted to buy the structure but the same reason was given.

A great and accurate piece of writing which I enjoyed reading immensely.

Excellent read but your reference [1], are you sure about that? You reference Brian and Trinity but there is no user Brian, unless you mean me, in which case I would appreciate Trinity's name as well and not an alias, Steven. It's also a fact that Trinity hasn't been an active user for about 9 years so what relevance it is to a 2018 review, I've no idea.

Nice read Doc, just 1 point The facecloth thing, he was mutted for a week due to a 9 word rant 5 minutes after the Halifax away game, 6 of the 9 being expletives. He had been warned, but as you say is back on now.
Other who constantly use bad language are warned as well.

I am genuinely nonplussed by this comment. I suggested that nobody under the age of 50 would understand what I was getting at.

So let’s have a look at this and forget all about it, shall we?

Also - really sorry, Gnasher:

Brian Auger & the Trinity. An even better version; Julie Driscoll; early six-string bass guitar. Fantasies fulfilled. Sorry - time to take my pills:

There was never any “official” explanation given. Mark Dixon admitted it could possibly have been moved or sold but it was too late. This was after a long conversation of the importance of the North Stand, which they simply didn’t understand or get. Two of the directors admitted they’d never been in it on match days. I was asking, at Riversway House, in the context of the new home being the same but with catering facilities. Straight answers were never a thing, as was ‘fan consultation’.

You're nonplussed? Even knowing exactly what went on, I have absolutely no idea of the relevance of the reference marker based on what is said before or after it.

I'm beyond caring though, just about as much as I am the club.

Oi Gnasher - he was just having a bit of fun.

He used the word auger and that reminded him of a band called Brian Auger and the Trinity from the 60s. In an attempt to explain the obscurity of that he put a reference at the bottom. For me it was a little bit amusing that Brian and the Trinity reminded me, and no doubt The Doc, of the recent spat with what's his name and you and others where Trinity was often referenced.

Nothing more sinister than a bit of random co-incidenced banter.

Never stop caring eh

That sort of logic explains the excellent reports but even being well over 50, still beyond me. Goodnight.

Yet again another really good read
Always used to love Bryan's (willyEckerslike) reviews and it keeps things interesting at fan level
The odd rant here and there is healthy for the good of any forum

Blimey! Seemed to have lit the blue touch paper here. I would be the first to admit to having wound some people up deliberately on this forum but in this case, I plead Not Guilty. I honestly had no idea of any spat between anyone called Brian and a Trinity. So let's all chill out - no offence intended to anybody: it is a genuine (albeit pretty extraordinary) coincidence. Please take my advice and watch the Brian and the Trinity I was referring to and front-woman Julie Driscoll. If you're not chilled-out by that, maybe you should check your pulse - I know everybody's different but she always did it for me. What a performer. What a voice. What a woman... (And what kind of six-string bass is that? Roy Babbington played a Fender in Soft Machine - but that ain't no Fender...)

As usual a very accurate and professional appraisal of 2018.

Don't agree with only a very small number of Roger's assessments but nothing to cause a serious issue with.

For what it's worth I doubt anybody could improve on his match day reports.

You haven't lit anything, it's quite simple. I don't get the reference and I can't be arsed looking for it.

No Gnasher – it’s even simpler. What I wrote has nothing whatsoever to do with you. The reference is to a band which could blow your mind. End of story. Takes even less time to make the link than it has to respond in the way you have above. So why don’t you? You might even enjoy it. So here it is again:

As Dr Hook put it "Maybe its just an eagle problem?"

Yes, but it can be a lot more fun being curmudgeonly. (If you're curmudgeonly)

Just switch off your television set and go out and do something less boring instead.
Sitting at home, watching TV.
Turn it off it's no good to me.
So Why Don't You?


Classic 70's kids tv....!!!!!!
