We paid a 6 figure sum to own ours to advertise the people who were on the bill boards anyway and existing club partners, and the clock works half the time. Not sure we've won the Battle of the Boards there to be honest, but it probably made someone happy. Ffs. Who cares? Some people just love a good old moan.

As much as I want Latics to stuff both Bury and Dale when they play each other, I would rather all three teams manage to stay in League One and some of the southern softie teams go down. Thats is simply not going to happen though is it. So as it stands I want Bury and Dale to continue to struggle as it means we are that bit more likely to survive. Just being realistic.

Like the misappropriation of fans scoreboard money and spending a further £100k+ on something with no obvious benefit to the club when we couldn't pay the wages or the tax or a whole lot of other things. I think you should review some of your posts on the subject and show a bit of humility to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could vanish it would be more likely caused by the reduced intelligence of the posts on the board with the more myopic posters becoming increasingly vociferous with churlish narrow-minded insults. Perhaps I simply get bored with the mind numbingly boring level of schoolboy bickering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope Spurs win the replay 10-0 I either wanted Spurs to annihilate them 10-0 or for dale to get a result... the draw was perfect for them now to get stuffed in the Home leg and secure league two status for next season.

Sparkleking Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I may well be in the minority but I like small/local teams to do well. Obviously not at Oldham's expense, that goes without saying. But, maybe I am a romantic at heart, I love to see the Davids do well against the Goliaths. I am old enough to remember (and to have been there) when we had our great cup runs in 1990. It seemed as if the whole country was behind us. I don't begrudge Rochdale anything...so long as we finish above them in the relegation scrap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rigsby Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Well done Dale is what i say. I dont get the dislike of Rochdale, in may ways they are similar to ourselves.(northern town, next to manchester, small fan base). They get a day out at wembley , and quite a large wallop of £££ i would have thought, so best of luck to them in the replay (altho i suspect they will get drubbed 4 or 5 ), in reality tho that doesnt matter, they can go and enjoy their day, their cup final if you like.As i say, i think they will get drubbed, and so do many of their fans i suspect), but it would be nice if they can keep it respectable, 1-3 or 0-2 would be just that. On the flip side for them is its another fixture, which in terms of survival in the league, is not good, as they will for sure suffer fatigue and injuries, for me they are gone already, as are Bury MK, the last spot is wide open tho, we have to keep winning, southend are OK, a bit of a bogey side for us really, that said, i feel we will beat them at home.

yarddog73 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 (edited) Instead of laughing at Rochdale (strange one I know) its probably best we concentrate on ourselves because we are hardly out of the shit.

I want them to lose in the same way I would’ve wanted Gillingham, Northampton, Scunthorpe etc. to lose the same fixture. Couldn't give a toss about Rochdale, I just root against the sides at our level. They’re our competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont get the dislike of Rochdale It's part of the modern black or white syndrome, fuelled by social media. You are either with us or against us, you must either love or hate. Weird, really, when the currency of the most popular social media medium is 'likes'. When I was young I went to Latics with my Dad, Uncle and neighbour. If Latics were not at home we'd go to Dale or Huddersfield and I developed a soft spot for both along with Southport where I have family. Listening to the classified results with an ear out for them certainly enhanced things for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the joy of football, this could be the catalyst to see them out of trouble or a huge distraction that speeds them on their way to League Two. I still have nightmares about our post-Wembley form in ‘94. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
