Think it might have something to do with the date.
Its that prankster Keith Trudgeon, you know - the one who has a go at recently deceased people over the tannoy at Bower Fold.
Didn't realise anyone at Stalybridge had a sense of humour, except the guy who told them that the new stand was level. Fell for that one... my excuse was it was after noon!
Ray Stanley was a very good friend of mine and was very much alive when I "had a go" at him. Unlike many people at your relegated club he had a fantastic sense of humour, and for what it's worth found the whole thing hilarious.
I miss him, as does everyone at both Ewen Fields and Bower Fold, and would be grateful if you got your facts right before posting something like this.
I wish to apologise to your goodself, My memory deceived me for a while there. It was a while before he passed away that you were heard joking about his heart attack, at the time it went down like a lead balloon with us Hyde fans. Nevertheless, I know that you are an honest man and it was said in jest so please accept my apology, sorry for dragging it up after all this time.
