I asked the same question on another thread earlier today. Crusoe explained that it's because the FA cup final has been scheduled for the same weekend as the play off finals this year so one final had to move. They chose to move the league 1 final a week earlier meaning the season ends a week earlier too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's also something to do with Sky wanting to be able to give each league's final day individual coverage hence the noon kick off (Super Sunday is on). IIRC it happened last year too but i think all football league fixtures finished on the same weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure Champ and L2 played Saturday lunchtime and evening, but everybody finished the same weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc1955 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 793 tics today (700 allocation??) Thats a remarkable following for a London away game with nothing at stake and such a ridiculous ko time. If we could challenge up near the top for a change next season our away days could be phenomenal!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrickyholden Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Away days were great in the Dowie play off season. Think we stayed unbeaten for a good chunk of the season. Same again please!

Incidentally their highest ever attendance is 4870, we were only 3 short. There were a few empty seats too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flemboy Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I would say vast majority from Oldham and lots of young fans which is good for our future but I did see some Frankfurt fans and even one with a Detroit OAFC flag. .our fanbase is spreading !!!!

DerbyshireLatic Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Absolute top day from breakfast in Spoons with what seemed like 200 Oldham, passing round the "Frankfurt Spirit" to the atmosphere in the ground, Shez showing he's cool as fuck passing on the wave and giving us the V with a big smile on his face then the respect of both fans at the end - "who the fuck are mk dons"...can't wait for next season and another 9 month adventure with the greatest set of fans in this country!

oafcprozac Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Brilliant weekend from the Saturday morning sambuca breakfast in the Euston Rocket, premier inn around London Bridge some cracking pubs there before heading over to fisher fc and their game with Erith finishing suspiciously 10-1 to the already relegated 'Fish' , craft beers, pot noodles and invites to their end of season awrards. Then over to Wembley with my son to watch Joshua/klitschko. Early start sunday few beers, good chat with the Wimbledon fans. Bit of snore draw but I'll take mundane after securing safety. Few more beers before getting the train home. After the last few weeks it was a much needed blow out. Actually looking forward to next season under Shez...
