It is with my greatest regret..

To say goodbye to Maurice Lindsay who has been on our board of directors for 5 years.

Thats the toungue in cheek and nice part done with.

Fuck off Lindsay, You where never part of this club, You gave us nothing and after years of hurt putting us Wigan Athletic end.

I hope the decent fans of Preston North End realise that this cunt is no good.......

In the words of that terrace song..

"My Old Man

He Told Me

Maurice Lindsay's

A Clockwork Lemon

Issue of MAD, 1973.

Interesting art on the cover..

Albam - Made in England.

This brand has caught my eye and I am currently saving up for a few of ther bits - Notably a few pairs of Jeans and there Chinos....

Taken from there website and the section titled " Albam Philosophy"

"We are now coming into our third year of Albam, and it has been quite a journey. For those who have recently found us, we started in a small office in Nottingham just myself and Alastair and 7 styles in our first catalogue.
Our journey has been a lot of fun with its fair share of sweat and backbone to get it to where we are today. Now we are an independent clothing company with a small but perfectly formed team who all share the same vision of producing products in the eye of our starting ideal: Modern Crafted Clothing.We continue to manufacture our products in Great Britain and if this isn’t possible then we look as close to home as possible, so we now have good friends in Portugal, USA, Italy. Our aim is to bring as much product back to Britain and we have spent the last year building a business with your help and support that is enabling our British factories to grow and develop with us. There is no hidden agenda with this, but there is something that is great about making products in an area when people think you are slightly crazy “because no one does it anymore”. In some respects there is an old mindset within Albam combined with a forward outlook. I hope it can continue, and whilst we want to be your “best kept secret” we need your help and support to spread the Albam art of living and keep making great products, tell some like minded friends and you were still the first to know!

Thanks again, from myself, Alastair and the Albam team."

Thats just a little bit about the background of the company, The one thing that stands out for me is the fact that there products is made in England and this give a sort of Hertage feel to it, They do source fabrics from as far as Japan however they craft the clothing here back in good old Blighty.

I have seen some of there peices of clothing in person and have to say the quality is top notch and I can not wait to add a few bits ot my wardrobe.

Here are a few stand out peices from there current collection.

Round Pocket Shirt with a Chambray rinse wash.

Japanse Denim straight leg fitting jean - One thing that stands out for me is the stand out orange stiching within these Jeans and the fact the fabric is not washed,Distressted and is just pure Japanse selvedge fabric.

Games that defined my youth.....Part one

I was and still am at heart a 16 bit addict.

Oldham Athletic,Tuesday 20th July,7:45



Here is some infomation on the Latics...(Oldham,not us)

There home has been boundry park since 1904, It has a capacity of 10,630 and is all seated.
I should be attending this game, Wounder if the Oldham Fine Young Casual's will be on the prowl?







It has also not gone unoticed that 80's casuals has done a Fine Young Casuals tee....



Bet there dress sence is just as bad as the tee....

Always look on the bright side of life,

8-0 to Chelsea FC what do you expect? Well the fact that they are cheating twits is one, Drogba doing his " holding head crying then when he gets a decision i will go and run" trick.
Two penalties and a sending off - All to Chelsea, I actually stopped caring and lost count of how many goals went it, Had a good sing song and I loved how the Chelsea muppets could not understand why we where still singing even though we where losing, We follow our team because we are proud to do so we may be not successful but we did not buy the title.

Had a good day in t'smoke as well, Cenataph,Pubs,Houses of Parliment and we couldnt find a pub to drink in Chelsea itself because well we are a "risk" because my 71 year old grandad has a Wigan Athletic jacket on.Bollocks.

Here are some pictures from the day:

Cenotaph at Whitehall

The pub we where in on Whitehall - Decent pint of Greene Kings Royal London.

Stamford Bridge

"Last thing purchased"

Casual Connoisseur members pin badge, Will look good on a light weight jacket or polo

Its confirmed.

We are safe, Thanks to Burnley to losing 4-0 we are staying up in the Barcleys Premier League for the 6th consecutive season!

The manager Martinez has hinted at wanting to compete for Europe regulary and to build on the squad and proper push our team to get to where we can and not be looking over our shoulder and scrapping to stay in the Premier League.

He is heading for the right direction, I think Martinez is the right man to take Wigan Athletic, It just needs Whelans surport and not to keep hitting at the fans for " not turning up" well put some money in instead of selling off players and help the club move forward!

Hes A Wiganer through and through, He is one of us.

Possible new purchase?

When I get a Job sorted, The Wood Wood Stockholm Jacket, This has some very nice little details the lining of the jacket, The hand warmers the "quirkiness" off it...160 Euros works out at 139 quid.
Looks like it will be money well spent, Wont see many of these about in the WN area...
