  1. Billy 's comments carry more weight by virtue of the fact that he jumped ( after being widely praised for his work), rather than being pushed. So they can't use the "sacked employee with an axe to grind" argument to discredit him. Well done for speaking out!
  2. Blatant nepotism in recruitment at ATS Accountancy.
  3. Hopefully you will see this Billy. I emailed supporter.services@oldhamathletic.co.uk with details of my purchase last night and ............................. no response.
  4. Thanks Billy, I have emailed you at the support services address email address so that I could attach my invoice and copies of correspondence with Ashleigh re the purchase. No need to worry about this tonight - it can wait until tomorrow.
  5. Whilst I very much appreciate the job you do in going above and beyond what the club could reasonably expect of you, in keeping people informed of what's going on across various social media platforms, I have to point out that some of the above just isn't true. I still haven't been contacted by anyone regarding my 100 Club memberships which I renewed in June. I've also been a member since inception and wasn't invited to the the office meeting mentioned above. The club have my contact details and don't have any trouble contacting me when it comes to sending invoices.
  6. I've got 2 100 club tickets and still haven't received an email or any sort of communication at all.
  7. I think what makes our situation different to Coventry's is that the club has a long term secure lease on the ground on terms it agreed to. I don't think Coventry had a lease agreement on the Ricoh when they left.
  8. He seems unable to say anything without coming across as confrontational.
  9. JH would be John Harbin I think. Been back around the club for a while.
  10. https://www.theoldhamtimes.co.uk/sport/17641148.lee-clark-keen-on-oldham-athletic-job-with-interest-high/ " there is suggestion from those close to Boundary Park that Abdallah Lemsagam is considering a ‘continental style’ structure for what would be his fifth appointment. "
  11. A potential candidate from left field ... Joleon Lescott was a guest in the boardroom at the last home game. There could be absolutely nothing in it of course.
  12. I'm assuming that, unless it's Mo, any appointment will be made after the bulk of the recruitment has already taken place.
  13. Thanks for that. I posted a couple of weeks ago that I'd heard the delay in announcing prices was due to a poor relationship with the OEC and that he was considering offering the hospitality element away from the North Stand. Sounds like he's decided to just try to take the money anyway without any arrangements in place!
  14. Clearly if the club are making a loss on the service, they can't be expected to continue to offer the same benefits for the same price (how that is possible at those prices I can't fathom, but that's a different debate). Essentially they are swapping something of tangible value (a car park pass) for something of intangible value and of limited appeal to many ( potential prize draw wins). I'm excluding the other new benefits from consideration that are available as standard to all season ticket holders. So it really comes down to whether or not you drive to games, as to whether you consider this package at the same price to be better value than the old package at a potentially increased price. It sounds like the club have reached the conclusion that a majority of 100 club members don't drive to games. For those of us that do drive, it's clearly a significantly worse offer but if we are in a minority (I'm very skeptical about that for reasons stated in an earlier post) then it's probably the right thing for the club to do.
  15. I'm surprised by this comment about the parking. Living 30 miles away from the ground I used mine for every game, but was often re-directed away from the dedicated 100 Club parking spaces to other areas of the car park because the allocated spaces were already full. You are correct though that it was indicated that the price may go up.
  16. No idea if he has travelled or not but he did pick up an injury in the Mansfield game.
  17. Interesting. My only experience of Mo was not a good one. He was giving a member of staff a very public dressing down in the North stand, at half time during a game about 3 months ago. The reprimand might have been justified but I couldn't believe the way he spoke to her. It wouldn't have been acceptable in a private meeting, never mind in public.
  18. Yes, this is similar to what I was told. There is certainly some ongoing friction. At least one member of OEC staff is banned from the OEC premises on match days. He can do that because the club have control of the facility then under the terms of their agreement.
  19. I did see that but I've been told by someone on the OEC side of the fence that it's far from good at the moment.
  20. It's £675. For that you get your seat, food before the game, tea/coffee at half time, a programme and a parking pass. Any home games in the first 2 rounds of the cup competitions are included. They still haven't announced what the price to renew is, but have sent an email saying that they have recently discovered that the club are making a loss on the package due to an "administrative error", so the price will be going up. There is a rumour that Marco wants to pull the plug on providing this in the North Stand due to the deteriorating relationship with the landlord. Not sure if there's any truth to this though.
  21. I don't disagree - I'm referring to an interview he did a few months back where one of the excuses he came up with for our relegation was that he had to change the playing style that was succesful at the start of his tenure to a more direct approach because the pitch was so poor.
  22. Or will he stay true to his relegation excuse and play hoofball for this game because it's impossible to play passing football on our dreadful pitch ?
  23. I think so. And it would be applied next season now.... if they still exist. I was just reading some more stuff on Bolton's situation. Someone claiming to know about the due diligence process says the actual debts are over £20million more than were being suggested. Looking more like administration for them the longer it drags on.
  24. Bury case adjourned until May 15, so they will finish the regular season at least. Sounds like the can has just been kicked a bit further down the road though. Other creditors joined the WUP and HMRC has taken over as lead petitioner, demanding £277k. They plan to pay from EFL money and season ticket sales apparently. But I wonder how they'll get through the summer if they use that money up to pay creditors?
  25. When you've worked or done business in the Arab world you get a feel for just how important saving face is in that culture. It really is extremely important to them.
