League one forever Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Just when you think we’ve turned a corner. . . We haven’t. How many corners can we appear to turn before we reach a dead end? Like all you I’m desperate for us to do prosper, but I’ve got a real horrible feeling about the short to medium future. Where are going. . orient/tranmere stockport or worse. . I think its genuinley scary to think of what the club will look like going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnafoafc Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 If AL does decide to pull the plug because he’s skint then it doesn’t bear thinking about what will happen. No assets, a ground we don’t own, we are well and truly screwed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latics22 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 If AL bails It’s curtains, no saleable assets no land, no ground it’s scary! Let’s hope there is a desperate sap looking to forfill a life long dream of owning a club... sorry squad of players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't you just concentrate on supporting the club on match days instead of going through angst-ridden torment over something which you have no control? Honestly, if the club goes to the wall, then we will have to find something else to do or support. Hopefully it won't come to that and, as fans, we would be willing to do our bit, if and when called upon. Until then we should do what we can and support the team by getting behind them against Carlisle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are other clubs who don’t own their own grounds etc, don’t stress too much about it.

I think people can get behind the team and still be concerned and be taking action elsewhere. But if you are asking people to wait to be called upon, it could be too late, so people should be free to do what they can now too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs where the local authority own the ground seemingly do a lot better than where the ground is privately owned by someone other than the club. Technically we've been in the 2nd category a lot longer than 10 months too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I care about the club, but you’ll be happy to know they rank very low on the important things in life. I came on a latics forum to discuss and gauge how others feel. That’s it.

I agree with you and I'm hoping we would be called upon before it's too late. As you say though, who does the calling and who is taking action elsewhere? I still think it best to support the team vocally on a match day than get in the mire with other issues and possibly dissuade yourself from going.

Supporting the team, and wanting to win on a Saturday will never go away. They’ll always be a Oldham Athletic in some form to go and watch. Thats very different to being worried, saddened as to what level of football you will be watching. I can do absolutely nothing about it, but equally I don’t think it’s unreasonable to discuss our plight with people who get it. I can’t talk to the Mrs, because she couldn’t care less.
