Good old David Dunn
He can't be blamed for this year's training venue

Echo what others said. Thought we played well yesterday but lacked a finisher up front. When zanzala is back we should hopefully see a difference but then we still need someone who is going to get 15/20 goals a season. Surely we are looking at possible loan options.
Off the field, loving the changes I saw bits during last season at the 3 games but the away end looks decent and well contained (who takes a flare to a friendly though!). Sausage rolls are over priced still at £3 and burnt. I understand now that some of the queues were due to being let down by agency staff so take back my earlier comment (it was still poor though!) if the hospitality manager read this (I think he said on the podcast he reads the forum). Feel free to drop me a message and if I can help out on odd games I can try and help if I can - I’ve also got a personal licence which may help!
Well done all involved, still a way to go but we will get there! Roll on the start of the season!

Sausage rolls are free on Sunday morning and they are certainly not burn't.

Egerton is not deepest Cheshire just a stones throw from Junction 19 on M6. Witton Albion is deepest Cheshire.Lancaster Branch wrote: ↑Sun Jul 25, 2021 7:27 pm Under Evatt we trained at Hopwood Hall, didn’t seem to much of an issue judging by results on the pitch. But then Dunn arrived and decreed them to be substandard so we ventured into deepest Cheshire at Egerton. Then at the end of the season we moved to somewhere out towards Bury….which is also not good enough so we’ve been training at Witton Albion.
Is that right? Is there any other patch of grass in the Greater Manchester area I’ve missed?

It was only the bottom, was pretty crisp where it had been in the water I think. I have had worse to be fairMiddleton Nick wrote: ↑Sun Jul 25, 2021 9:34 pm Sausage rolls are free on Sunday morning and they are certainly not burn't.

Agree with your comment. £3 for a sausage roll is too much.Jameston1 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 25, 2021 9:58 pmIt was only the bottom, was pretty crisp where it had been in the water I think.

As a matter of pedantry;
“ A LEAGUE Two football team have settled into their new training home in Knutsford this week – more than 100 miles away from their home ground.
Cumbria club Barrow AFC have struck a deal to train at the home of non-league Knutsford side, Egerton FC – who sit seven divisions below Barrow in the Cheshire League Premier Division and, more notably, 109 miles away on the map.”

Too much time on my hands! Seriously though wonder why we have moved again. Egerton seemed to have good facilities although I'm no expert. Can only presume the Bury centre has better indoor facilities? when its ready of course. Presume that was one of the reasons we went up to Scotland the other week.Re: Barrow v Bolton Wanderers match thread

Witton Albion (Northwich) is only 6-7 miles from Knutsford a journey I made workwise for 10 years.Little more than a quarter of an hour even at a crawl so little difference.andyg wrote: ↑Sun Jul 25, 2021 9:41 pmEgerton is not deepest Cheshire just a stones throw from Junction 19 on M6.
