    2) Won’t happen, don’t forget he’ll be on a low value deal , so cost nothing to let him “think about it”.

    Haha those were the days. Just found out my mum in law told me she went to school on midland road, do you know where that would have been?

    If he plays a game for us, then doesn't that mean he can't play for any other English team this season.

    Some sort of fall out with him happening before the end of the window means the only option for us is to send him back to Swindon. They have the upper hand in negotiations hence we could end up taking less than the original agreement.

    The list was a tongue in cheek set of what ifs. Might be a low chance on number 2, but I reckon it's more likely than the others I wrote!

    I was looking for an emoji to convey my annoyance but we aren’t allowed them for fear of upsetting some of the more sensitive on here.

    “FFS” it is then.

    St Bede's/St Joseph's is about a 5 minute walk along midland road in the Shipley direction. Not sure if the road changes names at the crossroads though.

    Therefore the best option is to sell him on immediately

    They have the upper hand in nothing if we recall him. His contract and employer is BCAFC. I didn’t suggest play him at all. I should be less cryptic.

    Yes Midland Rd infants was the only one , I went there. Go on Midland rd from the Kop exit turning left, then up the first left heading up towards the back of the Kop , but turn first right.

    Crikey Dave , St Bedes was at the top of Emm Lane Heaton , when I was a lad. I didn’t know it had moved to the girls school below Manningham Park.

    There's two schools Kev. The younger ones go to the one near City and then move up to the one in Heaton for the run up to GCSEs.

    Ah right , a lot has changed since we left therefore .. As young bucks we used to hang around St Joseph’s, now we would get arrested seemingly?

    Nah, the police don't enter Manningham these days. You'd have to commit a crime further out.

    Where's this Pointon leaving stuff come from?

    Sounds unlikely to me.

    He might be a rare hometown hero for us, but most League Two clubs have them anyway.

    If he leaves for big money, I'll be surprised and impressed.

    Been on my wishlist last couple of transfer windows, and once again, I would love us to bid for Bingley lad, ex City youth player, Ben Whitfield from Barrow.

    If, as I expect, we recall and sell Jake Young, that's where I'd splash the cash on
