unsworth blue Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I'm in with disjointed - as long as it takes. Still attend and support the team - not as many away as usual - but feel little affinity for the players tbh and absolutely none for the club's owners & Board. Dino is doing ok, not an issue. The club has lost its soul and will never get it back under these owners I am sorry. For many years over my time supporting Latics, its been the heart & soul of the club and a sense of belonging rather than just the football, it can be again once these owners leave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any questions, queries or suggestions please let us know. Any update on where the profits from OEC current activity (food and drink sales to fans) is going? Still owned by Blitz and Gazal according to Companies House? Isn’t a boycott of that in order too... perhaps forcing both parties to the table? Been next to zero information or progress from FLG.

I’m confused as to what makes no sense? At present the OEC is the only thing being run by the FLG nothing else that we are aware of, so money raised from that will be limited with no income coming from boxes etc until a SLA is agreed with the club. Therefore food and drink costs, staffing, cleaning and utilities etc will be coming from this. We can look to get further clarification for you though when we look for an update in the new year.

So they aren’t making a penny profit? Don’t buy that. Also... presumably they are paying rent to Blitz? Anyhow, look forward to an update. Thanks for your efforts.

simplythemostimportantkick Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Once the faith has been reclaimed, could we then discard it and get a decent club motto ? Always hated “keep the faith”. May as well have summat like “accept mediocrity- just look at Stockport” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

100milesaway Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 So what is the best option if we want to buy food/drink before or during a game ie how does the club benefit most, OEC before the game, or outlets inside the ground.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you want to boycott the club...not inside. If you don’t want to line the pockets of Blitz... not OEC. so... bring a butty and a bottle of fizzy vimto. ... or, as most people will...just buy a brew and pie as normal.

Their is the OEC outlets outside the stadium and local pubs you can go through for refreshments. If relations keep deteriorating between fans and owner then Id be quite happy for PTB to start targeting the clubs sponsors highlighting how bad the club is being run, how it treats its people, and how the owners are destroying a local community asset and ask them if they want to keep funding this and being part of this.

Don't forget the FLG run the OEC so it gives them funds to buy out Blitz. All other outlets fund the owner, or have a loyalty to the owner as he gave then business. If they did their due diligence they'd have known this was a risk, especially under the terms that the deal moved to them and given who they are dealing with.
