Ask Bury how that works out. This is where the club is at its most vulnerable - desperate for change, we might end up snatching at the first offer that comes our way.

Once you’ve formed a habit, such as staying away, it’s easy to maintain it. I agree these people won’t be easy to get back. If the towns are similar and the people are similar, why do people in other places support the club, but in Oldham they do not? There are people out there. Both of my sons play for local junior football teams, most of kids have no interest in Oldham and the typical comment from a parent is “I used to watch Latics, but I’m not watching that shite anymore”. My point is though, they are football fans, they don’t go and watch City or Utd, but if OAFC was more entertaining and a better experience, I am convinced some of them would. Your optimism is very much a glass half full Best we could hope for in League 2 or League 1 even with an attractive attacking team would be a regular c5,000-6,000 which would still have us financially shipping £losses The Championship is like another planet away for us so at best, bobbing between League 1 and 2 is a hopeful but dull future for us We’re sat in the shadows of two of the richest football clubs in the world and its far too easy for folk to watch the worlds best footballers on tv The days of thousands trudging up to Boundary Park are well gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_bro Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 The question is can AL come up with £600,000 in a week? If not we go into admin. and he loses everything he's put in except his director loans. Could he then hold out by refusing to accept anything less than the full amount?

Broadly similar to the league 1 relegation season on average I think. Given the away attendances would have been less I’d say home attendances were up. Any good will was soon eroded though by the actions of the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem with the meeting on Friday next week, the hearing may turn round and say ok you have until end of month to sort debts out. Then if he cant we start next season minus 12 !!!!!! I would doubt there will be a conclusive answer on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying Championship in size, but League 1 for sure and doesn’t need to be dull. The population in terms of numbers and facilities are all there if they are used properly to perform much better. I am a glass half full, but this is because I haven’t had 25-years of downward spiral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Led to believe an extension is not possible. The club is insolvent in so much as it cannot pay its debt - hence the winding up petition. On top of this, Brassbank has evidence that it is a creditor who has not been paid, on two grounds; rent and the Debenture issue. The Debenture also gives the power to appoint an administrator. So, either AL pays up what he owes and straight away, failing which, he’s out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also heard the same plus anybody who is owed money HMRC etc etc has to be paid in full, so highly unlikely this will be paid especially when cash flow is like it is and wages being paid late again. So Friday looks like the start of a new chapter in the clubs history lets hope it is for the better KTF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blitz got a bit fed up so had the final one secured against the club with a floating charge (the debenture). AL agreed to pay it off when he bought the club and hasn’t paid it all off in the agreed timeframe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
