Relations between OEC and OAFC aren’t the best evidently. A Stand off? But then the V&A v the OEC is a not a fair competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owdumer Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 But should be cheaper and more convenient at OEC all things being equal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why go all the way to Manchester and pay £45 for something cheaper at the ground, with a MasterChef winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A brand new stand with decent function facilities at our ‘own ground’ yet we hold our awards ceremony in a different location and not even in a venue which will support oldham businesses/people. Don’t blame anyone as such and clearly the reasons are not straightforward but it’s just a ridiculous situation to be in.

owdumer Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 If things weren't such a mess it wouldn't matter about cheapness because the money would be coming into the club. That is the sad depressing truth of the matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laticsmarra Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Not convenient for the fans who will have to stump up more than £20 extra to get to Manchester and back.Presumably more convenient for some of the players and others at the club that live in Manchester. Local community,employment,identity etc,etc...need I go on anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsslatic Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I have never been to an awards dinner and can't imagine ever wanting to go. However I don't get the mockery of them having one this season (regardless of where it is). We had one whenever we finished 14th-19th in League One didn't we? We're still mathematically in with a shot of the play offs with 4 games to go. We've got a striker with 15 goals. A goalkeeper who is likely to finish just off the club clean sheet record. A defender who has made the L2 team of the year and his CB partner who has actually been better than him. A manager who has put up with a load of shit and from a PPG perspective is (I assume) one of the best we've had. There are some likeable characters in the current team/coaching staff. That is all stuff that can and should be recognised. The need for some people to gripe and have a go all the time is absurd. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time we're at least still in the fight (albeit barely). I don't think this is a bad season, we're up there. If someone had offered me our current position in preseason I would have snapped their hand off. It was unrealistic to expect us to bounce straight back up.

JED Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Agreed - while we’d all like to be further up the league, and would have been if Surridge hadn’t cleared off, don’t forget that Sky weren’t the only ‘experts’ that had us down for the drop. In the circumstances surrounding the club Bunn and Wild have done a remarkable job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't expecting too much this season but the standard of football is miles lower than League 1 and with a well balanced team, both on and off the pitch, the play-offs at least was easily achievable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
