You know what, I didn’t even check after reading that tweet. Assumed the tweeter was correct. Just checked and you are right, they’ll probably need a point from their last two games with their superior goal difference. I’ll get me coat.

No promotion for them at BP and obviously, Mr Bipolar...whoever he is...appears to think that Oldham Athletic are a bigger club than Mansfield Town. Fact is, they are not. people like that need to realise teams get promoted on merit, not past glories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midsblue Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 September 2002 and Wjnhard filling his boots... how far our club has fallen. Granted it was under Moore era and before we went into administration but we’ve had success against them since - notably in the FA Cup replay under Johnson. We’re at our lowest.... I’m an atheist but even I’m now praying that something positive happens in the summer. Hopefully the peace talks with the Trust triggers the Clown to spout “Fuck me, you’re right. Life savings exhausted but I have a family member/mate/anybody who’s got a fair few million.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact is, they are not. Mr Bipolar is OWTB’s very own @oafcprozac and I agree with the sentiment of his post. Mansfield last competed in the 3rd tier 17 seasons ago, having spent 5 of those in the conference and appear to have spent only 1 season in the 2nd tier in their history. It would indeed be depressing as fook watching a team with such a record taking their place above us in the Football League, just like Accrington, Rochdale, Wycombe, Burton, Fleetwood.

Although merit has been in very short supply for many years now, I think we have more in the way of history/tradition and I dare say we are more recognised than them as football club with some history. Means nowt in the here and now though. Our fanbase has always been what you would call "compact", so measured in those terms we are one of the smallest these days. I know a few who once we fell out of the premier league and continued to drop started watching the sky blue money pit down the road which personally makes me rather cross...

Yep, especially when Mansfield are only 2 points ahead of 4th place Bury so mathematically can't win promotion tomorrow. There are plenty of legitimate reasons for wanting Abdallah out without needing false ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mighty_bosh Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I'm looking forward to tomorrow's match but only really because I'm happy for any opportunity to see Latics live rather than the state we're in. I saw them a few weeks ago smash Exeter. They weren't particularly impressive in defence or midfield (solid rather than anything else) but in CJ Hamilton and Tyler Walker they have two talented and really quick strikers. Expect for them to look for a lot of balls over the top. I'd go back to the previous winning formula if possible, with Lang definitely up front and not on the right.

GlossopLatic Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Mansfield have opened a brand new £2million training facility. Get bigger attendances than us and have a better team. Historically they may well be a smaller club than us but at this moment in time they are way ahead of us like it or not. The way they are heading and they way we are heading that gap is going to get bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To throw training facilities in there is a bit desperate. We are bigger than Mansfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are player this summer and you have a choice between signing for Oldham or Mansfield Town which one are you going too? Throwing in the fact we were good 30 years ago may seem pretty desperate. alot of footballers today weren't even born then it won't matter to them it will matter where we are going. Now I'm not saying we shouldn't acknowledge the past ofcourse we should, we all have very happy memories of then. But Mansfield Town are a club that has overtaken us and we don't look like catching them up, we should be concerned about that.

Given the choice last summer would a player choose to sign for one of say Burnley, Brighton and Bournemouth or Aston Villa. They would probably opt for the Premier league club. Does that make those clubs bigger than Villa? We are concerned because much smaller clubs than us are higher up the leagues. Do you think Rochdale are a bigger club than Latics? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
