Count me in on that list.....stood right in front of the rear railing left of the gangway Just remembered my first visits to the Tote End was with my uncle and aunt from Mina Road who always stood next to a little shack on the side where a lady sold tea from a large tea urn. Anyone remember ? They also took me to my first away game on a train from Stapleton Road to Old Trafford in 1964, lost 4 -1, still got the programme.

Speaking of Alfie Biggs anyone remember when he worked as a Car Salesman for that dealership on Stapleton Road just before the Station? Can still see him now sat on the car bonnet, hair brlycreamed and winkle pickers, the epitome of 60s rock!!! Is this the showroom? Alfie not around, must be in the Eastville Club!!

Regular Tote Ender from 1964 on - although did watch from the Haaaarold enclosure from time to time. Not one to get too nostalgic, but boy, if for just one more time if I could have the smoke of a Woodbine in my face, the stench of Gas wafting over the pitch & thud of an Alfie Biggs header crashing into the Tote End goal.......... I'm filling up now 😢 Speaking of Alfie Biggs anyone remember when he worked as a Car Salesman for that dealership on Stapleton Road just before the Station?

Count me in as well. Was in the Tote End when we played Arsenal in the cup. It was rammed. I can’t remember when that was, but I think somebody called Taylor played in goal and was his debut. Some baptism.

Our away form has been relegation standard for 18 months and there is no sign it is going to change. DC has no idea who his best team are, and the best teams are built around continuity. Our players can have a blinder one week and be dropped the next. Why were there changes after the Northampton win? He has become arrogant. Just listen to how he speaks to Ed Hadwin on the radio. Arrogant when we win, humble when we lose.. By all accounts he has now apologised which says a lot in his favour for doing so. And please get out of this chopping and changing of the team. Especially in defence where understanding between players is vital. By the way DC, it is games not projects. Finally, with all the expenditure on staff, we still have no defensive coach. Heaven help us. I agree, been asking the same question. Steve Yeats was barking his orders throughout a match. Now our defence seems lost with out a leader on the field or on the touch line.

There have been talks about a statue of Geoff Dunford for all he have done for our club. I think it is upto us fans to make it happen. What's everyone thoughts on this? Statues are for legends from the field not off it. A stand would be more appropriate I agree, a Dunford Stand more appropriate, statue for Geoff Bradford.

I agree, too much dusting, brushing down and moving on. Question now is when will we move on. Personally, can't see it until January and recruits of league l standard are brought in. Too many in the team not up to standard. I don't doubt they are giving 100% but unfortunately have not reached standard required. This league is very competitive and money needs to be spent if we are not to be in a relegation battle. Wonder if the DC and the board sees it that way?

Bit concerned that the supporters club coaches aren't leaving the Mem until 4.15. Seems a bit late to me. Anyone else think so?

That may be but does it result in a sending off if their player dived, which he clearly did? Ref was conned. Doubt it, the striker would claim that he touched the ball past the keeper, who went to ground, and that he was avoiding being taken out by a mistimed tackle.

Following up the twitter question to Ryan Sweeney - who do you think would win in an arm wrestle competition between him and Tom Broadbent ?

Will see a few of you at Bury, no one died today, we go again, positives we are making chances still. If Ellis scores at 1-0 it could have been different. Wish Steve Yates was here to work with the back four. Have a great weekend everyone Yes, good question. Who is coaching the defense ??
