Why you should go to Nottingham on Saturday

Ok that kid asleep on TV whilst watching Monday Nights game probably sums up how dull things are at the minute but an away trip to Nottingham is usually an enjoyable one so here are 10 reasons why you should go on Saturday:

1. We usually win in the City (although I hope this doesn't put the kiss of death on it)
2. Nottingham has a women to men ratio of 3 to 1
3. Nottingham has more ‘international cuisine’ restaurants than any city outside London
4. The only Hooters in the UK is in Nottingham
5. If Robin Hood was real he'd be dead
6. They say it's gun capital of the UK but then again they say that about Manchester
7. Nottingham has the biggest Market Square in the UK
8. 20% of the population of Nottingham are in their 20s
9. Nottingham claims to be the UK's most haunted city
10. Notts County won the award for the best pies out of the 92 Football League clubs not too long ago

Sad news

The Boundary Boos have some rather grim news to announce regarding the work of the people of google, the initials of the Football Club OAFC no longer leads with a direct link to the OAFC official site but instead lead with the page "Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs", this news has led to many loud booing across the world as most other Football Club initials lead with a link to the clubs official page (with exception to Rochdale), the Boundary Boos proposes a 1 minute Boo to be conducted at some point during the Tranmere match on Monday night in front of the Sky TV cameras!!!

A New campaign the 2011 Census

It is believed the majority of self-reported Jedi claimed the religion for their own amusement, to poke fun at the government, or as a protest against the inclusion of the religion question on the census form.

In June 2005, Jamie Reed, newly-elected Labour Member of Parliament for Copeland in Cumbria, declared himself to be the first Jedi Member of Parliament during his maiden speech. The statement, made in the context of an ongoing debate regarding the Incitement to Religious Hatred Bill, was confirmed by Reed's office to be a joke instead of a serious statement of faith. Nevertheless, during a subsequent Committee debate on the Bill, the Conservative Member of Parliament for Beaconsfield, Dominic Grieve, sought to exclude Jedi Knights explicitly from the protection of the proposed Act.

On November 16, 2006, two Jedi delivered a protest letter to UN officials in recognition of the International Day for Tolerance. They requested that it be renamed the "UN Interstellar Day of Tolerance" and cited the 2001 Census showing 390,000 Jedi in England and Wales.

Officially you need 5 people to start a religion, weather or not it would be a recognised religion it would surely be a laugh if people were to do it and who knows maybe the club would gain more respect from certain people.

All in all it is a view felt by the Boundary Boos that there is no proof that God exists but there is proof that our Lord Joe Royle led the club to the greatest moments in the clubs history.

It's that time of year again

It's that time of year again where Latics go out and mess the whole season up, but like when anything goes wrong at a Football club people are always quick to work out "who's to blame?" In a direct response to the unfortunate situation the club finds itself in.

There are a few theories that you could look at as to why Latics are struggling as we are, but I think one thing you have to look at the league the club is in and the nature of the league in the past. Of the current top 6 Bournemouth are the only club who haven't really spent big, and if you look at the previous league seasons you'll always find that there is always one surprise package that finishes in the top 6. The rest it seems have to spend their way out of this Division. It can go wrong for clubs of course but if you look at the fortunes of Latics over the years you'll find that we were very fortunate during the Joe Royle years with the money that the club paid for players especially when you look at the make up of the make up of the squad during the "pinch-me" season it was a side made up of rejects from bigger clubs that found themselves around us at the time such as Leeds and Man City. But Football has changed over the years and now it seems that when you get to this stage in the season having a big squad helps massively with injury, suspensions and fatigue that affects club. People seem to have an attitude that "they're Footballers they should be performing 100% to the best of his ability every single game" but this is a very blinkered view of the way things are. If a club like Huddersfield and Southampton have replacements when a player starts under performing and we don't then they clearly have the advantage, it is also a motivating factor for the player who has the starting place to know that if he underperforms that his place in the starting 11 will be taken up by somebody else.

The last time Latics had a strong squad was during 02/03 season when the club incidentally had money to spend, when Clyde Wijnhard and Chris Killen got injured up stepped Wayne Andrews and Carlo Corazzin to lead the attack, same in midfield when during the spell of 10 straight wins the midfield was made up of Matty Appleby, John Eyre and Darren Sheridan but Tony Carss, Lee Duxbury and Paul Murray also played their part in getting the club a top 6 finish and many other season in a 24 team league the points total of 82 would of seen the club gain automatic promotion. With exception to Crewe the rest of the top 6 were Wigan, Bristol City, Cardiff and QPR all of whom had much larger budgets than the rest of the Division. The current crop are made up of loan players and players on limited contracts, we have to face facts that the club doesn't have a lot of money at its disposal compared to the current top 6 means we can't afford to replace the strongest starting 11 and with gates getting lower and lower the club doesn't look like moving forward anytime soon unless we miraculously attract investment. At the end of the day money talks and we as a club unfortunately don't have it.

The Evolution Begins 27/4/2011

Some people are intrigued about what was stated on page 13 in last night edition of the matchday programme, our men have been on the scene to work out what exactly is going on at the club and what is evolving.

Our men on the scene and some sociological experts have come to the conclusion from the findings that on 27th April this year that Dean Brill is indeed having a sex change operation. Our undercover tape recorder behind the scenes discoverd that in a conversation with his friend Felipe Morais that Brill, 25 indeed enjoyed a trip to the ballet recently and was so inspired by the works of Darcey Bussell and Natalia Markarova so much that he wanted the squad to use it as a training technique. But assistant manager Gerry Taggart dismissed this exercise, leading to Brill being replaced in goal by Ben Amos. Brill's absense from the first team squad has been a result of the man wanting to go a step further and emulate his heros by becoming them, therefore on this date Mr Brill will be revealed as a woman, otherwise the Boundary Boos are going to sack Toddy Orlygsson!!

Awards time

Oh yes, I think it's time for us to award our Golden Mug award.



Tonight we'd like to award the Golden Mug to Bristol Rovers Football Club for appointing Dave Penney as Manager, then after realising how terrible he was sacked after only 2 months in charge.

We know that of the 2 games that he won, that one of them was against us, but the fact is that due to his crapness we are in a much more healthier position on the pitch.

The good old Days by Alvis Williamsonson

Everyone remembers them days of Joe Royle and the “punch-me” season when we got to the Argos Cup final and two FL Cup semi finals when we lost both times to Man City, but I like to go back to a time which you may not be too aware of. A time before all you people were obsessed with your home computing and sex, a time when a man had a light ale on a Saturday night in preparation for work the following Monday. I'm talking of course about that game against Hucknall Albion in the FA Cup in 1954, it was at the same time that there was that great Czechoslovakian Golden team that beat England at Wembley.



20,000 people flocked onto the Rochdale Road End to see Hucknall



It was the days when people took the FA cup seriously and we had a crowd of 29,637 attend the game with about 20,000 of them crammed into the Rochdale Road End banking. The Latics team at the time had greats like Jimmy "Jack Russell" Marwood who would use his foot for a hammer during the week to help with his training technique, Roy "the Sherif" Hopley who got his nickname from his love for Westerns and who can forget the great Scottish right half Gordon Jock!!


Gordon Jock



The match began with a classic punt forward from the Olhdam centre half Gill Henderson, a melee appeared them Jock came rushing in to give the ball a good belt from the mud it was stuck in and put the Athletic club 1-0 up. Hucknall Albion had a great chance to get back into the match after Athletic keeper Bill Shakespeare dropped the ball after being headbutted by the Hucknall centre forward Alf Swift who failed to convert the chance. Back in those days men were real men so Shakespeare just got up counted his teeth and shook Swifts hand. More blood was to follow just before half time when Henderson clips a young hooligan around the ear for blowing bubblegum onto the pitch (Danny Dyer take note). At half time the score was 1-0 and all the players enjoyed a half time Spam and Lard Butty with an Orange all washed down with a pint of Ale. Jock was a star from over the border they had plenty of World class players back in those days, before joining Oldham for £6 and a Hornby Train-set he made a name for himself at Third Lanark where he averaged a goal every other game. He was the start for Athletic on this occasion when he blasted two goals in as many minutes before blasting home a stunner from 30 yards that was too hot for the goalkeeper to handle, the score ended 4-0 to Athletic and Gordon Jock took the ball back to his home in Rutherglen, Lanarkshire where he worked for the rest of the week down a coal mine, because men were men back then; no fancy Dan's like Chris Killen and Keigan Parker.

Who to boo today

I walked down to the local Deli to get myself a Pork Buttie and to my disgust there was no Apple Sauce in it, do I blame the lady behind the counter? Do I blame whoever set the menu for having Apple Sauce as an extra? NO I blame all this on David Miskelly, so David if you're reading this today, IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
