And I know it’s not the point, as there is a perfectly good stand that SHOULD be getting used. I’ve never really minded personally where I sit. So long as it’s on the halfway line Magister be hunting you down to measure the distance from seat to halfway line now to call you a liar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So long as it’s on the halfway line Over the last few years I have been kicked out of the Chaddy, evicted from the 100 club and then ousted completely from the JRS. The main stand leg room is totally inadequate for someone of my stature, which leaves one alternative - the freezing cold and blustery JF stand, which also has the tightest turnstiles ever! I don't think it is totally unreasonable to feel somewhat aggrieved at the attitudes prevalent in the boardroom towards loyal supporters. Bastards!

So long as it’s on the halfway line I did, I tried the Main stand but the legroom is non existent and also the Rochdale Rd. I like you, prefer to sit level with the half way line which is why I chose the seat in the JRS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick_Valentine Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 What’s to stop us going back into the Chaddy Road end? I’m sure a few feathers would be ruffled if two or three hundred of us just rocked up and paid into the our ‘home’ end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have to be with the respect of the away team IMO. Someone like Leyton Orient. Obviously that would be next season tho. Dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure a few feathers would be ruffled if two or three hundred of us just rocked up and paid into the our ‘home’ end. You can't just pay into the Chaddy anymore. It's a cashless entry these days. It might work for those who don't go to the ticket office regularly and have a relatively neutral accent. I'd guesstimate a 20% success rate. It might be better to buy from the away club in advance. That way Oldham only get £17.10 not £20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emcee_Latic Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 If anyone wants to organise a "sit in" in the North Stand count me in. After 50+ years as a supporter and 30+ as a season ticket holder I have never been so pissed off with this shambles that is going on with the North Stand.

If it's done before kick off after the players have done their pre match warm ups, only an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryBosch Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I'm not suggesting for a second that anybody should actually do this because it would be illegal etc, however, theoretically speaking doing it during the game would bring much more much needed media attention.

Not like there are a shortage of seats. If something like this did happen surely the game couldn't go ahead as it would contravene health and safety having people sat in a dangerous stand.
