Maybe waiting to see if we win Monday night and if we do we can better take the financial hit? That being said im guessing there is a deadline/minimum amount of time we have to postpone a game so it may already have passed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a player is called up late then the club will still be able to postpone the game if the club meets the threshold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd assumed our only options would be to play him, or to get a goalkeeper on an emergency loan. As a side-note; doesn't look like N. Ireland U21s are playing, so I think our only (eligible) call ups would be Iversen and Nepomuceno. My understanding is that the rule only applies to full international or U21 caps, so Robinson wouldn't count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsslatic Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 If we need a keeper then I believe Andy Rhodes' pre-existing plans for Saturday may have recently fallen through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denmark U21 and Curacao don't play until the following Tuesday, so we might have both of them playing for us anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lincoln were (and are..) a club heading in a completely different direction from Latics. The fact we lost wasn't, in reality, a shock. Defeat tomorrow would be a shock. That said, new low points seem to have no bounds at the moment.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went for Tranmere tickets yesterday morning,ticket office shut,rang bell several times,no response went inside nobody around.We are only customers, fancy not having the ticket office open for those fans that work. This is relatively minor compared with the crap that is going on "behind closed doors" or in this case open doors.The club is a shambles.

Hours been the same for a while now I think, hardly surprising that if team aren’t playing we don’t open, can’t see the numbers coming to buy tickets outweighing paying staff - https://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/2016/december/new-ticket-office-opening-hours/ Edited November 11, 2018 by adamoafc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't always about the cost against how many turn up, there is such a thing as customer service. You can take the cost argument to its extreme and perhaps they should open say one day a week,Saturday would be ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s on the website Morris very clearly - https://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/club/visitors-guide/ We are in league 2, how many others are you expecting turning up when the team aren’t at home to collect tickets when it is easy booking tickets online. Stupidity. I use my ST to buy for myself and my mates for away games never had an issue. Times are changing, you only have to look at most high streets to see that.

Latics and England Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I did exactly the same as laticsmarra. It never crossed my mind that they wouldn't be open, though in retrospect I can see why they might not. I subsequently hunted through the website and couldn't find the opening hours and never found them so they definitely aren't prominent. I notice on the link that has been posted that the name of the ground is wrong which would probably have led to me questioning the accuracy even if I had found it. None of this is a big deal but it was a minor frustration and does reflect the way the club is being run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
