Friend was tidying up his xjc when he found these amongst the brochures

no its slightly off topic but what would preserved diesels run on ?

Todays offering from my deliverys basking in the sunshine

Think this definitely falls into modern classic territory rather rare now

this may be of interest to the discussion

And the tragedy is they will continue to pass these "fit & proper persons and allow them to control clubs running up debts and selling assets to the detriment of the league

Correct they were used to boost the numbers on s&t teams

best way i heard it explained was they went to Rome to see the Ansaldo system in operation where they were shown the version in use there which was the eqivelent of windows xp at the time .the version they bought for stockport was at best windows 3.1 .

they are boxy but ........

And as usual the wonderfull Arlene sums it all up perfectly https://www.oafcpodcast.co.uk/post/the-curle-who-wanted-to-be-god

I know I had the misfortune to reopen Heaton Norris for the first shift back some leavers were still a bit tight and the first train onto the Denton branch caused chaos multiple tc failures but wasnt so bad once it all settled down and as for being "old tech" it's worked pretty well for the last 100 years+ and the refresh will have given it a good few years more

The boxes at stockport all got a major refit and renewal in the early 2000s when the whole area was shut down for the installation of man southscc. frames heavily renewed and refurbed new relay rooms complete rewires there is a lot of life left in them yet

And more ineptitude here how these clowns ever passed a fit & proper persons test is beyond me couldnt run a bath any of them https://www.theoldhamtimes.co.uk/sport/20177156.keith-curle-interview-part-2-efl-loan-left-oldham-limbo/

Already in hand bro FSA and faircop offering help to anybody recieving these letters .and may end up attending Bower Fold as may have no club to watch have a listen to this very scarey the way the club is being run

saddly the person driving this is our friendly ex policeman otherwise known as Barry owen also former director who likes to remind everyone of his former position as an officer of the Law so he will push this with GMP .he has been sounding off about pitch invaders commiting a criminal offence on the day and he would bring the full force of the law down on them . what he doesent mention is the blocking of fire exits by his stewards on the day something that is also breaking the law . he has now turned his attention to the joe royle stand which is not owned by the owners of the club he has decreed that the stand will remain closed next season ( despite having sold some 200 season tickets in there to date ) on the grounds of health and safety this is a three year old stand quite where he gets that idea from is anybodys guess though it may have something to do with the court case initiated by him over the ownership of said stand with the clubs landlords .meanwhile fans will be forced to cram into the decrepid 1920s built main stand that is Sorley in need of renovation the list of health and safety failures no running water in toilets holes in roof allowing rainwater ingress onto steep narrow stairs whichturn into an icerink when wet but hey we are shutting a brand new stand on health and saftey grounds laughable This may enlighten some https://www.oafcpodcast.co.uk/post/don-t-let-the-sh-te-divide-us

And the ineptitude at boundary park continues our newly re appointed "special advisor" former sacked director Barry owen continues his reign of idiocy by sending letters to fans involved in the non violent on pitch protest verses Salford banning them from boundary park and away fixtures .only problem is he has banned them from the national rugby league conference you couldnt make this up as the club yet again act in a manner that will only alienate the fanbase evenmore .ps that isnt sent to me I have not & will not attend any home games whilst these clowns are in any way involved with out club .#Abdalahout #saveoafc

Had a look at this beauty today gull wings and all very rare methinks

From my time on the platform at picc platfors 1-4 were DC only and were known as the east side all the rest were ac and known as west side with trains pretty much kept to thier own sides .platforms 4 & 5 was accesible from both sides for diesel hauled trains to allow some flexibilty .platform five had a ground frame operated crossover to allow trains to run round iirc only trains booked to do this were the class 37 hauled services to Cardiff via Shrewsbury and the early hours postal to Sheffield

Came across this beauty t9day

judging by the number of " ive lost had my phone stolen and it has irreplaceable photos of my nan mum dad etc on it " posts on local social media forums many dont bother or dont have the technical skills

Yes would of been George and maybe peter or David as well as they usualy tagged along .

Fantastic solidarity from Trotters fans backing the Oasf ptb fans boycott .
