I'd hope we aren't there yet Cheers, I confess it hadn't occurred to me that it was the stuff taken off rather than what was going to be added on!

Either move us entirely, or improve Chapel Road. - Fans bar in the North Stand / Purchase the North Stand / O.E.C Ltd. - Buy the assets of Brassbank Ltd. - General improvements to Boundary Park, Chaddy, RRE & Main Stand facilities, such as fixing leaks, tannoys systems, bar/refreshments facilities, formal naming of Jimmy Frizzell Stand, a Scoreboard. - Move us away from Boundary Park / build a modern new Stadium. - Extending scouting network & youth/reserve/development team coaches. - First team asst manager/coaches + Agent fees. - First team/squad players/personnel + Agents fees. - OACT, Boundary Blues, Marketing, Sales/Promotional events to the wider Oldham/Tameside community. - Prolonged discounted season ticket / half season ticket & POTD matchday prices.

AL won’t put a fans bar in north stand which they he have to pay rent on, unless they come to an agreement over costs etc which benefits both parties. Think it could be like that for a while unless blitz and Gazal decide it could be a big money earner but as match day money goes to the club wouldnt really benefit them.

Monty Burns Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I would spend an absolute fortune on the pitch and hide some of Doyles wages under it in the books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t enter the 6 yard box so why give the away team the advantage by making playable ? It’s a cunning ploy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kusunga_Is_God Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 So we've gone from contractors who evidently made the pitch hold up much better towards the end of the seasons (bar Feb) to a couple of tractors from some golf complex in f'n Bolton. Hurah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsLen Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Maybe paying said contractors might of helped keep them on? You know like our previous owner didn't and wouldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
