Bob's Board: Osborne again - Viewing Profile - Bob's Board

If Thais are anything like the Japanese, he certainly won't want to lose face by selling up. I do hope he gives his head a wobble and sells the club on rather quickly for the sake of the fans.

Apart from when we've played them, I haven't watched many matches at Hillsborough, but one I do remember was against Leeds United around Christmas time in 1966.
We had relatives in that neck of the woods and they were all Wednesday, so we ended up joining them for the game. If I remember rightly, the match was a really boring 0-0 draw, and the freezing weather didn't help either, but the ground was well stocked with fans from both clubs.
It's only football that draws big crowds in all weathers, from old men riddled with arthritis to pre-school lads and lasses. These clubs need saving for future generations. I'd rather kids grow up with footballers as role-models than the local drug dealer.

I don't like to see any club in danger of going to the wall because where do the fans go? It's not like life long supporters are going to the club down the road. I would have been devastated if my beloved Spireites had gone to the wall, so I hope both Morecambe and Wednesday find new owners.

Thanks, I didn't realise that.
