    Fletcher was born at Airedale Hospital and brought up in Bolton.

    Because a lot of potential investors want ways of recouping revenue through property Nagle the town manager for instance. And we don’t even own a ground. We get great gates and have put ourselves in the spotlight over the last couple of years which hasn’t brought anything firm in terms of interest. As I say the area where we are is univestable

    Money talking. But I think Beesley will do equally as well

    In fairness I can’t stand Halifax or most of their fans.

    That suggests they’ve offered him more than others - not necessarily

    With 55 goals in ten years or whatever it is I’m
    not too concerned (whether we were in the mix or not!)

    Done really well for himself to say he was still born

    Born at Airedale and moved to Bolton when he was 4. His Dad is from Bolton but was a PC in WYP hence born in Keighley

    Also we beat them twice fairly comfortably. Whereas Beesley and Burton beat us twice, being pain in the backsides in both games. I think even though there's a much of a muchness in both strikers, with Beesley you'll get that Alexander player who harries more, to a Fletcher who won't.

    Fletcher seems to have lost his pace compared to when at Watford?

    Indeed. If it was a straight choice I’d take Beesley all day long. I think we’ve got the better player out of the two.

    I'd rather not be born than play for Huddersfield

    Danger Fourpence sounds like the name of a dodgy prog rock band

    I'll not pass comment on Fletcher until he's in Claret & Amber but in all honesty he will have to up his game as I saw very little of him being the type of player Alexander wants in his squad during the two games against us,
    Ops just see your post with regards him going to Town.

    Blackpool journo has said that they tried keeping him but the Huddersfield offer was "unbelievable" and too good for anyone to turn down.

    In other words, they are throwing money at it once again.
