It's not an actual pass so I can just walk in when I want.As it stand I will have to ring somebody each time to sort getting in but I hope something easier can be sorted so that isnt necessary each time.

It first got mentioned when the plans for the extra fences were getting close and somebody came to speak to me as I was watching to say I would probably be ok as they intend to get me on the inside. I didn't want to say anything till it happened ( in case it didn't) but it's a nice christmas present.


Can appreciate that. Excellent news :-). Do you feel lonely or got odd looks without the ladders? :-D
I haven't a fecking clue what I'm doing! Gillie come back man I want my sig back. As the Photobucket thingy gone?

I think the phone call is just a formality, just to ensure there's nothing happening on the day (signings etc). Am sure if you just tipped up they'd do a quick check and you'd be sorted. Don't try it, mind.

Just a quick one Doug, how priviledged do you feel?

I certainly do.Being allowed in close up to watch the best team in the land,a team I have supported for 50 years and to pass on some of what I see to the fans is just a bit special.

A bit special! You're dead right mate, it's a lifetimes dream. Good to see it's gone to someone deserved. Well in Doug, you make me proud, yet a little jealous ;-)

Sleep well pal.

We know what Carrington looks like but Isn't it time this site showed a photo of Mr DH himself, either arm in arm with Mancini or stood alone on the touchline studying the training sessions? Could be one for the videos on the MCFC site, DH and Chappy deep in conversation.

Doug, you've owe it to yourself to dress in the full kit, run on in the middle of an intense session and completley toe-bung the ball as hard as you can away from them..... would be so funny.

I seem to visualise a small line of Doug's, chained together, led out to some spot on the far side of the field! But I'm sure it's much more welcoming than that. Just more censored!

Well done Doug.
