Sadly I can't confirm that Sparks,but he deffo ain't going to Morecambe!

So where is he going Lindsay ???

lindsay ormerod · 27-04-2005, 21:17

Nowhere for the time being.He is still in contract for another season.I would love to be able to say that he would be staying with the club but I think we all know that it's unlikely.Anyway,he will be at presentation night on Sat and will be raring to go against the Ultras on Sunday!You could always try bringing him down Shurm,and talk some sense into him!

[having said that you would have to catch him first!]

Ive already told him he better have his shin pads on and told him not to dive like he usually does. He replied with "im gonna get you" hehehe

Chris Butler also said he is sharpenin his stoods hehehe

. . . and is almost certainly a triumph of optimism over reality.

Here are three good reasons why Rory would not be going to Morecambe:-

1) He took some persuading to turn pro and to leave a good job at the Post Office in West Yorkshire , so at this point in his career he will be looking to maximise the opportunities on his next move , therefore . . .

2) . . . he would be ill-advised to move to another Conference club who have carved out a unique niche as Nearly-Men-By-The-Sea , and who are unlikely to further his (understandable) ambitions by one iota.

3) He has often said that his ambition is to play for a famous Yorkshire side . It's very clear when I talk to anyone in Bradford that they still think of him as one of their own , and they see a natural place for him at Valley Parade - well above his present club status.

By all means, let's accept the likelihood of him wanting to depart the current management set up , but I find it difficult to believe that even the combined ghosts of Thora Hird , Ted Lune , Colin Crompton and Eric Bartholomew could lure him to the desolation of Morecambe where - it was famously said - "You could explode a hand-grenade on the prom on Bank Holiday Monday and still not hurt anybody".

I doubt you have ever been on Morecambe prom on a Bank Holiday!!
At this time last year we told the Chester fans Michael Twiss was signing for us. They laughed , one even said he would eat his hat if he signed for us!! The rest is history.
I believe he was only a part-time postman so the sacrifice to full-time football was not too great.
As mentioned watch this space !!

You can dream Morecambe Red - but it ain't gonna happen!

Why on earth would Rory move to a lesser club when his talent exceeds the standards at Stanley?
Morecambe_red, you're a fool YOU SHATAAAAP
I bet he stays with us anyway, get a spin doctor in to make out he's a ravin alcy n no1 will touch him!!
sorted

Morecambe_Red · 28-04-2005, 10:51

not saying I want it to happen, but dont say you werent told !!

smudgie · 28-04-2005, 11:15

No chance of Rory going up there, if he was going to leave then it would be for a club in league 1 or 2.

BUT HE AINT LEAVIN AND NEITHER IS J.C!!!
