Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

Looks like another one's escaped or DAV007's been cloned !

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

I would love to say farewell to you, sod off.

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

This is how gossip starts.

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

What's his next revelation gonna be ?

That Buzzers hidden that plane under the centre-spot ?

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

It might have been fairer to allow United to announce David Moyes sacking before the next man takes over

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

A man.u reject - no thank you :rolleyes:

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

step forward nicky hunt then

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

You couldn't blame him if it was true. Blame the missing fans. Hereford about to go in to administration with a 10 point deduction which would see them relegated, due to poor gates like ours.

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

Goodbye, Muppet

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

If you are serious.........
then name your sources of information to give your statement credibilty.......

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

This knob ahould be shut up permanently in my view. MrT get rid please.:rolleyes: Everyones aware success brings on change at some stage, dont need dipsticks telling us.:rolleyes:

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

Maybe this is posted by the same clown......

Tisdale's going to Oxford United - press conference Thursday.

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

He should be sacked anyway after last nights performance. A decent manager would have got more effort out of the players and won the game 10-1 :p:p:D

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

I believe the bloke at Southport might be worth a look .......:p

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

Is that whet yeh were doing last night?:D:p

Just heard from someone at board level at #asfc - message is they've had no contact at all from Oxford about James Beattie @BBCLancashire

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

I suspect the thread starter is n Oxford Fan trying to stir the crap, n also wishing.;):D A similar thread was started by this saddo, a few weeks ago, but seems to have been deleted? cannot weigh up why this un aint.

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

Just a quick question regarding Mr.Beattie - how's he doing regarding his coaching qualifications? He only has until May 1st.

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

Will ask him on Friday if no info been on fishy.;)

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

Well on his way, over 60% :)

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

Just think how much better last night's result could have been if Mr Beattie had his little certificate from the FA. That piece of paper must be worth a couple of goals a game, surely.

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

if tisdale is going to oxford, was,nt james beattie going to exeter before he came to us

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

You're famous Choirboy - Post #210 :eek:

Tisdale's going to Oxford United - press conference Thursday. - Page 21

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.

( I wonder if he uses "Grecian 2000" like i do?)

Good spot smobile!

#asfc boss James Beattie on Oxford rumours: "Nobody's called me, emailed me or texted me. I don't know anything about it (1/2)

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

So he's going then ?:D

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

BBC radio oxford reporting beattie has been interviewed?

BBC got it wrong?

Tisdale | Yellows Forum - Oxford United (OUFC) fans forum

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

The first post in the link you give says JB was interviewed by Radio Oxford, and during that interview denied any contact with Oxford United. Don't see how that means the BBC got anything wrong :confused:.

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

A bit of wishful thinking maybe? Give it up dav007, Beatts is going nowhere anytime soon

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

DAV007 nip down to Qegs and pull JB's shorts down and you'll see he's got Stanley tattooed on his balls...he's going nowhere soon till he's completed the incredible journey he's on with his squad....I'll have a Madras please.

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

No the BBC have correctly reported, You Davo as per usual have got it wrong!:D

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

Well hes definately not going anywhere today. A few of us got to have a cuppa with him in Cuppa Cabana this morning and he was totally focused on tomorrow (and his butty! Lol)

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

Yep i notice this idiot "Anonstan" aint returned to gloat.:rolleyes::D

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

How longs DAV been selling Plymouths programmes?

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

1. I misread the oxford thread, sorry.
2. Despite a disastrous start James Beattie has turned us into a half decent team and the prospects for 2014/15 look promising (provide we stay up).
3. James Beattie is learning on the job; he has been given then 2013/14 season to learn at the expense the club, maybe he should show is gratitude for being given the opportunity by sticking with the club for 2014/15?
I hope he does.
He has proven me wrong, and he will continue to improve as a manager and his team will continue to benefit from such improvement.

The biggest question and problem at the club continues to be the gates and finances.
If we cant attract substantial gates in the the football league, will we ever?

This may not go down well with all the supporters, but hopefully one of our rising stars like Aldred will get the attention of a bigger club a division or two higher up and can attract a decent transfer fee to kelp keep the cash flowing.

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

If Stanley win today they will be 8 points or less off a play off place - Now that would be a feather in Beatie's cap

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

Might have been answered elsewhere - but how close is he to getting his coaching qualification?

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

Very close he told me yesterday morning.dont panic.;)

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

Dav, Stanley will always be a selling club, unless we do a Wigan Athletic and get a meteoric rise through the leagues and end up with a new ground holding 25,000 and be better than Rovers and t'Dingles.
one thing I do like, is the number of players on 2 year contracts, so that even if clubs come sniffing in the summer, they are going to have to fork out a fee for those players. Would also like to see Lee Molyneux return to the club, but big question is, will Crewe let him go. It is obvious that BT manages to get the best out of him. Would also like to keep Marcus Bettenelli, but that is definitely not going to happen, so the search will be on for a goalie in the summer.

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

Stanley will never attract enough people through the gates to sustain, everyone wi any oil in there lamp knows that Dav, The answer must be in the commercial field to sustain us, its the only way imho. not n easy task, but one that must be better explored.

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

We have coming through the youth set up a number of exciting players with sell on potential
who might comand a fee , sell on clause etc, our revenue from this avenue is a must and any ideas of raising money among supporters should be invested in this project.
we have tried cheap tickets for games etc has not worked at all , 1600 crowd at a knock down price for the cardiff game. Its time to say look every game £17 and £12 and thats it.

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

Consistency & winning, without these there'll never be the desire amongst the locals & those further afield to continually turn to, lay out hard earned cash & support the club to the utmost!

A true, if somewhat bitter fact unfortunately.

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

Nothing much to add to those answers, apart from putting my £2 on the lottery, thought there's more chance of the FA sharing out the greed money fairer

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

....... Gary Waddock appointed as Oxford manager ;)

The Beatt goes on.

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

DISAGREE

£15 adult
or
£10 concession
for all games (except the cup if we get a big team)

that is more realistic

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

The only way to attract more fans is to start from scratch, going into primary schools!

We have a stadium capacity of 5000ish so why arnt we giving atleast 1000 free tickets to school kids in the area? Ok maybe only a couple of hundred of them may use the free ticket but if they bring a paying adult that wouldn't have come in the first place, what's the harm?

All it costs is abit of paper and get the Community Trust to hand them out when they're in the schools!

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

Stanley did that wi season tickets before season started Baldy,or so i was led to believe, Was told they went round offering em to school leavers, very few accepted em.?:confused::confused: make sense of that, cos i cant.:confused:

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

I do think one off match tickets would work better than season tickets,
you may get parents willing to go to the odd game, your asking a lot for them to commit to a season ticket.

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

You do write some drivel.
All managers should be learning on the job. In fact that's surely what people do in most walks of life.
ALL managers are appointed "at the expense of the club". Who else would pay them?:confused:
With so many players offered two-year contracts, it seems to my simple mind that his appointment was a two-year plan - and a brave one too. As far as I know, there has been no doubt about him "sticking with the club". The rumours have come from elsewhere - and possibly his detractors. But ..... no-one could blame him if he did move on. With ASFC always having such poor attendances and thus struggling financially, he may wish to seek more security and better pay elsewhere.

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

Revived Red, Have yeh not learnt yet??? Davo means drivel.:D

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

What a good simple common sense idea ...but wait a minute we have a director who's a school teacher why hasnt he thought of this

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

He already has. Primary schools get visits from the club. Every primary school leaver was offered a free season ticket at the end of last year's summer term. Very, very few even bothered to take it up.
Don't constantly blame the club and it's hard-working employees for the lack of interest in Stanley amongst the good folk of Accrington. Better to spend your time reading the history of the club and realising it was, and probably ever will be thus.
Stanley has a core support of around 1,000 to 1,200 hardy souls who turn up for every game, whatever the club's form or the weather. If you're one them, god bless you. If you're not, do something about it if you can. Otherwise, just accept Stanley are never going to be anything other than what they are unless, as has been raised before, there's a secret Lottery winner out there.
To be honest, the fact that Stanley continue to defy all the odds of 'modern' footballing finances is one reason that I continue to follow them, and always will.

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

To be honest Exile,its took me four years to finally work that out !!,thats what makes the club so special and unique

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

Thought the free season ticket offer was for secondary school leavers, wasn't it? Whatever, the take-up was 18, which says a lot about the attitude of the Accrington public.

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

How come you dont know whats been going on ?? yer a regular,:rolleyes:

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

The offer was made to Year 6 pupils at all Hyndburn schools i.e. those
moving on to high schools.

Forty two applied and received their season tickets.
Our hopes were higher.

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

Apologies, Sherry, got that wrong. Still think the response was pathetic and symptomatic of the apathy in the borough.

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

42 new fans are better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. Small acorns...etc...do it again for this year's leavers, and again, and again. Eventually, the fan base may get up to 1,500, then 2,000 if it's matched with a team playing attractive, gutsy football.

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

We played attractive, gutsy football against Chesterfield...and were rewarded with a drop in home support. Still, I hope you're proved right, Exile. After 54 years on the rollercoaster, I remain cynical!

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

Sort of agree to disagree on this one Steve. I don't think apathy is the main issue, as I keep banging the drum on it :). It's demographics. A large proportion of the population of Hyndburn has little interest in the borough itself, let alone the local football club. Much of it these days is made up of people who don't even know what day it they are so far out of their trees. The people responsible for running the place have no plans and bring no hope to 'big' the place up and bring in prosperity and success, the club and any other business here are flogging a dead horse. Rant over ;)

Re: James Beattie's last game in charge.
 

I'll shut this down, as the last few posts were totally "off thread" and JB is still in charge.:)

however I'll start up another relevant thread to discuss the many points re attendances!:eek:
