Intrigued by this one. I'm enjoying the fact that a lot of our youngsters are heading out on loan. Gives me a reason to watch the football league show.

Good to see City youngsters at Oldham and Rochdale, I pop down to both whenever possible, both clubs with MASSIVE links to City. Watching both clubs is like stepping back 20 years (I mean that in a good way)

Hope everything goes well and he bangs in a few

How much is an adult ticket for Oldham now-a-days? Few years ago it was £20 and i couldnt be arsed paying that to sit in a 3 sided stadium known as Ice Station Zero. Fuck me it gets cold up there. Headache inducing cold.

£23 by the looks.

Is that for an Exec box?

Tickets are £23 for adults for all stands except the lower tier of the Main Stand which is £22.

Concessions (over-65's, under-16's, students and ambulant disabled) are £12 for all stands except the lower tier of the Main Stand which is £11.

Under-12's are £3 in both the Chaddy End and Rochdale Road Stand.

Let's hope he remembers which side his bread's buttered on.

EDIT: I don't think it's been mentioned on here, but Stephen Jordan also signed on at Dale the other day.

my mate lives in mk and after a 3 day bender went to his and watched the game today. bunn came on for 20 mins or so did nothing looked out of his depth. be very suprised if he makes it at city. if anyone was calling for him to be 4th choice striker they need their heads testing. came on for 20 mins on the left wing and mis kicked the 1st ball played to him. not impressed.

I have been fairly impressed at most of his game when i've seen him at Hyde, I think the above is a bold statement considering its based on 20 mins?

cant judge a young striker from that mate can you??

reckon people get to hung up on, if a kid hasnt made it by 19/20 then he isnt gonna make it all. some people are late developer's, so lets not be too quick to judge!!!!

If you say that at Boundary Park the usual response is, 'What's a box?'

Last time I went it was still two portacabins on stilts either side of the Chaddy End. Owners have proper messed it up there with the failed stupid move to Failsworth, knocking down the Lookers stand then not building a new one with boxes like the Main stand at Burnley. Plus no money for Dicky to spend!

According to Ian Cheeseman he's just scored a peach for rochdale.

Maybe not a complete write off?

There's some talk about renaming it as 'The Oven'.

On that basis, there'd be a 'Bunn in The Oven'..........

And Scapuzzi scored for Oldham in their win over Crewe Alex

Quite liked the look of Scapuzzi, was a bit of a shock he was sent out on loan.

http://www.101greatgoals.com/videodispl ... -15667306/ Scapuzzi's goal was great.

great goals from harry and luca. hope they do well at the clubs.

Imo, any young player who is good enough to be considered for our 1st team will (after a reasonable settling in time) excell at the lower level. If they don't they're not good enough to make it with us. Most of the top PL players who were loaned out when younger, were stars in the lower leagues. Few have been just 'goodish' or 'ok'. Even moderate players like Ishmael Miller & Ched Evans were excellent when 1st loaned out to the lower leagues, so future PL stars should be starring at that level.


These two are off to a good start; encouraging.
