Well you can fuck off tbh, I’ve probably been supporting this club a lot longer than you but have finally come to the conclusion that it isn’t enjoyable anymore and certainly not good value for money or my time. Today was once again dreadful. The players don’t care and the manager is a total dinosaur and his team selections are absolutely shambolic. If, by some minor miracle we get to the playoffs and Wembley I am sure I will come out of retirement but we all know that isn’t going to happen so with that, I am done. Logging off OWTB and my love affair with Latics and heading off. Cheers all.

I ducking hate this squad, took hours to get here through the rain and traffic and the feckin Dartford crossing and these lazy, spineless pricks can’t be arsed to even try MM can fuck off too if he thinks this is acceptable. Second Half to come but really not sure I’ll be coming to watch Latics much after this, most of the enjoyment has gone and if the players don’t give a fuck why should we?

Looks like we’ve sold around 440 so you won’t be surprised

This wine is excellent…….

Or, introduce a SAAS / SVOD model whereby you pay X (£40?) per month and that gets you free entry into all home games and other benefits which could be added to spice it up I might sign up to something like that even though I live 200 miles away just to support the club and feel “part of it” they could bundle in “Ifollow” etc I think it would be revolutionary in football and not need credit facilities as it is a subscription rather than acting as a credit broker

So what they could do is offer half or quarterly season tickets with some kind of auto renewal option (which hopefully the vast majority will let renew) That could be a way of spreading the cost for fans and although the club will have to manage the cash flow they would save on the credit facility costs

Some of the best fans in the league tbf, it’s actually great fun being over on that side of the East Bank. They have a real connection with their team and you can see how the players respond. They are are a slightly smaller version of what we should be

I agree, we are fecked for a couple of seasons I suspect which seems pretty common for former EFL reams trying to sort themselves out after dropping down to NL, of course some never sort it out and are still here, or lower

I’d bin the lot and start again if we could, they have collectively shown they don’t give a shit and don’t have the desire to progress their careers. The players who have dropped down from the EFL are only here for Frank’ cash and the rest are simply not good enough

Pathetic turnout for a key game in the playoff chase. The fans have given up on this squad as we know they don’t give a shit about the club or their jobs

Frank, bless him, has no clue about football and is trusting the Royles….you know the ones that hired and retained Unsworth We are pretty much fucked for next season

also from the Aldershot forum, we are a laughing stick tbf Was expecting a really hard close fought game but shocked at how bad Oldham were, i'd be really pissed off if i'd made that trip down to watch my team not even try to play football, surely they can't usually play like that? they're 5th ffs?

MM is not the right man for the job, he is spending the Rothwell family fortune and making us worse. Season ticket sales next season are going to be well down I would imagine and overall home and away attendances are already starting to decline. Its mostly unwatchable and all the positivity is rapidly disappearing Today was supposedly a huge playoff game and we took barely 400. It’s pathetic

From the Aldershot fans forum, hard to argue with that, I feckin hate this squad ..Oldham were a disgrace and got everything they deserved. Very little attempt to actually play football, constant feigning injury, taking players out off the ball. God help their fans, watching that crap every week!….”

That’s it for me today, no chance this spineless bunch of twats is making the playoffs and if they did scrape in you would hardly back them in 3 cup finals. MM is a horrific football manager, obviously gets teams promoted but my god is it awful to watch. I am not looking forward to next season already. The team were pathetic today, Mellon was pathetic and the support was pretty dreadful too, we are not a club heading for promotion

We need a manager that wants to progress the team and the players (not the shite ones we have though) and play actual football not this garbage that our boring manager serves up

You know what? You’re all actually right! I have probably got a bit carried away with the last few years but on the other hand I’m fascinated by the business and human side of football and think the club could do a lot more to push away games…which are the only games I go to for the most part!

absolutely terrible that, we took 472 to Maidenhead and this is a far better atmosphere/ground against a proper football club and a key playoff match. We should have been taking 700-800 Not looking forward to this nearly as much as I was tbh. It does not feel like a promotion push whatsoever

Not really, takes a bit of planning so should have been plugging it for the last week or so

Get rid if he’s not interested, I’m sick of watching him sulking

Even bigger game now as we could slip out of the playoffs. Honestly with the lack of interest and lack of buzz from the club you’d think it was a mid table match. I don’t get it tbh. We should be looking at 1,000 for this but guess it will be the usual 450 or so. I think Mellon ball is starting to affect the enthusiasm for what is currently our first proper playoff chase for many, many years

It’s such a shame that the home form and the confusion around various players and squad size etc is making what should have been an exciting playoff chase feel like a mid table trudge. MM really has done a poor job with the home tactics and the club has done a terrible job of promoting away games where we are actually very good. No feckin mention of Aldershot, we should be taking a thousand to that now but suspect it’ll be the usual 450 or so. The club don’t seem to have any interest in away games which I assume is a financial decision.

Sounds like another horrific home performance, thank the Lord we only have 4 h9me games left and 5 away. Also, tonight puts paid to the silly idea that we could finish 2nd or 3rd, we need to focus on scraping 07th

In the unlikely event we make the playoffs we’ll probably be playing them away so much easier

We have several strikers all capable of over 20 goals each in this division plus Big Mike who’s good for double figures and yet we create almost nothing, especially at home.
