Totally agree

I cant really remember too well. But wasn't stephen Holgate part of the WCC winning team that played in Brisbane against the broncos?? Maybe a bit unfair then to class him in the Doc murray league?

Dont think so, but he did play in the Grand Final winning team in 1998, decent forward, rated by John Monie.

I think you are confusing that game with the Canterbury one in the 1997 world club championship. We beat Canterbury home and away and i think Holgate was in both, but not too sure.

I just looked the game up on youtube, sorry but didn't see no holgate there..!!!

Nope!

Didn't sign for Wigan until 1997, wasn;t a bad player but not great either although a few unlucky injuries definately didn't help!

PS

Shame on you for not knowing the 94 Brisbane Legends team!

Holgate was a member of the 1998 Grand Final squad.

The year after he went to Halifax IIRC?

"THE HOLGATE SAGA"

He started the game. Monie loved him. It is things like that which sadden me all the more that Endacott couldnt win a GF with the superteam he assembled.

Thursday 18th Febrary - Moon Under The Water, Or Bockett TBA, 7.45pm - 8pm start - Change of date due to issues Rogues Highlighted
##############################################################################

Date for the Next Get together.

Pre the Meeting it would be good to know if there are any current ideas that have gone into production?
i.e Matty B with the 8 in a row flag etc.
This would give us an idea of how many we will have by the Cats Home game.
If anyone has,inc Matty B, can you just confirm with either Chris or Myself via PM please. (21-12) has lost his password so it's pointless sending them to him!



If anyone wants to put any suggestions forward and they can't make it to the evening could they please let Jimmy Birts lives on or myself know prior to the evening of the 17th Feb together with a mock up of the idea we will present it on your behalf.

Obviously the more that make it to the evening the better and it's been suggested that we should be able to decide on at least 1 more design and put that into production the day after with a view to that one being ready by the Hull game at least.

It seems that there has been a good backing for Yicker's (Dawn) idea of having a Theme of "Era's" i.e 60's/70's 80's 90's 00's etc.

I've already had 3 potential backers for the above Era's them & doing the 80's one next and although I suggested Edwards/Hanley/Gregory their has been widespread support for Westy to be included!

So Another thought I've had is to have the 3 x Challenge cup Captains of that Era holding the trophy i.e West/Edwards/Hanley

I'm going to put a Poll up shortly to see which of these 2 ideas go down the best & I'm going to speak to Rolf about mocking the different ideas up so hopefully I'll have a couple of examples soon.

Theres is a catch though!
I'm also going to ask those with an opinion to also see if they would "Pledge" anything towards either of those potential Flags. This will help us decide which flag to go with as although 75% may want to go with one idea over the other, if the other gets more pledges & contributions then that's the one we'll go with? You know what they say, Talks Cheap!


Plus, if anyone feels like putting say a Fiver towards whichever design we do decide to go with Next week on the evening it should help the Idea turn into reality sooner! (although this obviously won't be compulsary! But you can pledge more!

)
With the pledges I've already received it would only take £5 each off say 20 attendees (if we can get that) to match the equivalent of what it took to make the Boston/McTigue/Ashton one.

Darn. Can't make. Will have a chat with you Friday though pal.

No probs mate! See you tomorrow!

Ste (8inarow) was tasked with ordering the flag, just texted him for an update, waiting his reply!

Latics are at home to Bolton that night, would it not be better to have the meeting Tuesday or Thursday?

Not even ordered yet, first proof sent from suppliers had no tie-holes, so that delayed things!

I reckon he's forgot.

You tied up going to that then



These flag meetings sound very official, before you know it there will be a website and everything like the stretford end flags



I would still be happy to contribute btw, just drop me a PM

Once we have reached capacity in the South Stand and due to the fact that there are no Gantry's as such, what's the chances of the club allowing us to put additional flags up in the West Stand, just above the Executive windows but underneath the advertising boards?

Plenty room for expansion, won't affect corporate viewing, won't hide any advertisement boards...??

See pic below:



Maybe the only thing is that it will take the eyesight towards the flags not the adverts above?

Could fit at least 30 flags on there!

Great idea!

There is the space i agree, but i dont think the club would want them there just behind where all the corporates sit.

Let's not get carried away Boys!



Phase 2 of the operation is underway, To be revealed at Next Thursday (Yes Thursday see edit on original Post!).

Fill us in!

Slowly,s;low;y Catchy Monkey!


All in good time

Don't be a girl!
