beag_teeets Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I'm in work (hospital) and the weather is awful. It will be a :censored: game if the weathers still like this (if its on) This is what lower league is all about, playing the conditions, same for each side, football, isn't it, small boys, cut knees...

oafc1955 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 BBC forecasts 17mph winds and dry conditions from 7pm with a little rain from 9pm. The usual ISZ conditions for this time of year!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc_lover Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 9th August 2008 - Oldham 4-3 Millwall 23rd August 2008 - Oldham 4-0 Cheltenham 13th September 2008 - Oldham 2-0 MK Dons (with away wins at Leeds and Tranmere, and an away point at Col U sandwiched in between. Part of an 8 match unbeaten run to start the season, ruined by a 3-1 thumping at Stockport - thanks Dan Jones!) Wasn't our goal courtesy of Andy Liddell, straight from a corner?

Scapegoat Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 My concern was crowd safety - a recall an issue with advertising hoardings on the RRE a few seasons back after high winds being a safety concern. Given the general state of our facilities you'd hace to suspect there is a genuine risk of something being blown off ;-) If the winds are <20mph by KO then it will be fine and hopefully our approach of passing to feet on the deck will mean that we are not too badly impacted (not sure on CCFC's style of play). At least we don't have the 'joys' of the plastic pitch - have memories of goal kicks taking forever in high winds as the GK desperately tried to build a sandpile sufficent to prevent the ball being blown by the wind (and probably creating the greatest time-wasting opportunity ever). I even have a memory of a player lying down to hold a ball in place whilst another player took some form of dead ball? True or some fragmented memory distorted by time?

opinions4u Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Wasn't our goal courtesy of Andy Liddell, straight from a corner? Yes. Made it 1-0. They battered us second half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronoafc Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Predictions anyway for tonight? Not seen many in here. Heart says 2-0 Oldham, don't think we will walk over them. For some reason though I have a feeling it will be 1-1 which if we want to push for play offs we need to win games like these, even at this stage of the season.

I was sat in the same stand but just kept quiet, wasn't hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc_lover Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I remember seeing a load of Latics fans spill to the front of their stand behind the goal after we'd scored and some even on to the pitch. Fairly sure some poor sod got his ear bitten off! I remember reading it on here anyway. But the thing I remember most is Craig Davies having an absolute shocker and missing a sitter. I think that was the moment our fans started to turn on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAC0AFC Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I wasn't there but wasn't there quite a few oldham fans in their end? well when it kicked off, about 10-20 latics fans walked onto the pitch and then into the away end possibly more in the stand that just kept there heads down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it always seemed to be Andy Barlow who got the "lay on the floor, with your arm stretched out and your finger tips on the ball" dead ball position, to help Halworth etc with goal kicks and free kicks for offsides etc Heady days...
