Will take some beating that one. Just moved back to Dunedin from the Gold Coast in December.

Could be old Mick.....who I have had the pleasure of meeting recently. He is based in Auckland albeit out west I think.

Good question.....I was looking as well.

A little story about Gordon. I started following Latics from New Zealand back in 1990 due to a program on TV there called The Road to Wembley... what caught my eye was the 5th round matchup, on this strange plastic pitch, and the replay and the 2nd replay....I kept on following Oldham's progress until in become a terrible full on passion. Anyway, I first came to the UK in 1993 on a gap year and was working at a school in London, and thought I needed to pay a visit, so I jumped on the train to Manchester and eventually got off a train at Werneth, made my way up Featherstall Rd to Boundary Park. After buying a lot of stuff at the Club Shop, I asked if I could see inside the ground, and that is when Gordon appeared.....he took me on a mini tour of the ground, and talked and talked to me....I think he was as interested as how a Kiwi was supporting Latics as anything else.....he had all the time in the world for me, he was absolutely amazing. 8 Years later he did exactly the same thing for me......he remembered me from 1993....and had been back to NZ and back to the UK, and this time he took me up to the changing room and a more thorough tour....introduced me to Andy Ritchie, and J Shez ........and a couple of other players who were there..........What a man he was......had all the time in the world for me........ I have shed a tear or two.....the world needs more Gordon Lawton's, more so now than ever before...and I would love to listen to the tributes at his funeral if they are recorded...... Sorry if thats a bit long......but great memories for me.

My question is, Shez said, in the interview or press conference, that at the end of last season he felt he couldn't take us any further after keeping us up.....which was part of the decision to move to Notts County............what happens when (or if) he keeps us up this season? What is likely to be the difference between May 2017 and May 2016??

Yeah pretty much. Haha

Its not bad this one......and not full of aussies.

Broadbeach. Kiwi who moved from NZ in January last year. And I shouldn't say i'm not an Iron Maiden fan, as I would have to google to find out there songs...hahaha.

Gold Coast and not an Iron Maiden fan......

Maybe he(Paul Scholes) is sick of all the negative Oldham fans, at Oldham games, on Oldham boards, and on the Chron website!(And anywhere else I can't think of right now!) Makes any lifelong fan(me) wonder what it is all about! Sometimes I think even if Mark Zuckerberg took over with all his spare change....these people would still moan about everything! Even when the performances are bad....even when we sell people on the cheap....even when the dreams of new stadiums and stands don't come to fruition...even when we dabble with relegation...even when........ The thing that gets me the most is the negativity of some fans. Yes everyone is entitled to an opinion, and yes we all want better...but sometimes I want to support other clubs just because the negative people here just piss me off! But then I realise I am blue thru and thru...and I will always be there Saturday!

Thanks for that.

Can people post some links to some potential goal highlights for latics. I can't access the bbc ones, as I am in New Zealand, and cant afford latics player at the moment. Even if someone could put the bbc or sky ones on you tube? Thanks.
