I fully expect that the shoulders will have the Hummel chevrons too. Just voted and cannot stipulate badge B for Away kit. It’s one badge one kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie_J Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Another 'Look at the shiny things...' distraction for fans, just like renaming the ground, naming the JR stand, etc. A good move but, relatively speaking, pretty meaningless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get how you go through life being so miserable... Meaningless? Naming two stands after two club legends is meaningless? Letting the fans choose a kit to celebrate 125 years is a top move in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They kind of reneged on the naming of the Jimmy Frizzell though, they still call it the Rochdale Road stand "Oldham Athletic are delighted to announce that Go Goodwins have agreed a two-year partnership with the Club. The Eccles based company have also secured the naming rights to the Rochdale Road Stand at Boundary Park, where Jimmy Frizzell's name will still be displayed." https://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/2019/august/08082019-go-goodwins/ *Edit - it was Corney who renamed the JF Stand too.

sjk2008 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 As previously alluded to, just another desperate attempt at positive PR. Pre-season when most were extremely critical of the goings-on at the club, we had the 'Chapel Rd' announcement. Not a peep on that since (from Club or Trust). It really doesn't take much detective work to see when and why these announcements come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting through life well enough, thanks and not miserable at all. I said relatively speaking and it is, in the context of everything that currently needs to be addressed at the club. I did acknowledge that it was a good move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See that's what confuses me about this site. Every bit of good news or feel good PR, is shot down n reverted back to the fact we have shit players. We would love AL to splash the cash and get better players, but I'd prefer we have a club to support rather than spend more money. ST sales are way down and half of them are at reduced price. Lower attendance. So you want AL to throw all his money at 1 season? And then possibly walk or run out of money and end up like other clubs struggling?

Who knows what they cost but there are obviously quite a few in there who are not getting in the first team any time soon. Do you not think we might be better off looking for quality over quantity?

A lot of them are the youth team age. So shall we get rid of the youth team to get 1 first teamer? And if we get rid of the Gonzales' the adams' send back zabret get rid of Dolan, do their wages make one good player? I highly doubt it. The majority will be on peanuts apart from players like Azankpo Fage etc who will still be on less than the same quality of English players. I get tobacco from abroad. Same quality but cheaper. Same with players. They'll be on next to nothing apart from the players who came from french league 2 upwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luis Enrique Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Yeah there are bigger things going on at the moment but since the club asked... Can’t get my head around one of the kit options being the same bog standard kit we’ve been playing in for the last 40+ years (give or take) and nothing to do with anything we wore 125 years ago? Easy choice - red and white stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
