boundaryblue80 Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 So... the Millwall Scum's treatment of Hughes obviously got to him then... Hat-trick! What a way to answer the neanderthal s ! Let's just hope everyone gets out of there safely. I wouldn't hold your breath for any action against Millwall. As an aside, I'm slowly (very slowly) trying to get myself around all the league grounds. However, while Millwall and Cardiff are in the league I think I may stop at 90... Soft arse!

boundaryblue80 Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 i'd stick as well mate, to much hassle Been to both Millwall and Cardiff. Millwall last season was trouble free. Although it was a brain-numbing game in comparison to todays. Cardiff one was in the Dowie playoff season (1-1)...that was a bit more interesting (thought I was gunna get a smack at one point) but made it out safely. Both enjoyable, if long, days.

Aren't we kept completely seperate from their fans at Millwall though? Out through the fencing all the way to the train station where they hold back their fans until ours are gone. Or were them pre-match pints too much for my memory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not the *fans in the ground thats the problem , its the ones that come from the Estates just for a fight (before or)after the match. * Loose term Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al_bro Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Last time I went there was a cordon of police between Millwall fans and us, but once on the road to the station there was no segregation. No trouble though, the only threatening looking fans were ours that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said that after Real Madrid beat Zaragoza 1-0 in Jan 2007 (as Real manager at the time). Totally agree - brilliant quote! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudemedic Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 As an aside, I'm slowly (very slowly) trying to get myself around all the league grounds. However, while Millwall and Cardiff are in the league I think I may stop at 90... I'm also doing this and agree with you on Millwall, (will probably go when they aren't playing Latics to be honest). However, I've been to Cardiff (the FA cup game where they beat us and Hallworth had a stormer for them), since I've the advantage that my Dad grew up a Cardiff fan, he's still some of the accent and a lot of my family still live that way. But I wouldn't tarnish Cardiff with the same brush as Millwall, as Cardiff are as bad as the likes of Swansea, Stoke, Wolves and a lot more besides. Oldham are also gaining a bit of a reputation for hooligan behaviour and i wouldn't want anyone not to come to BP just because of this, as like other clubs mentioned 99% of fans are decent. For example a mate of mine from uni was a Millwall fan and he was a decent bloke but its not the 'fans' of Millwall i'd be worried about its the locals.

garcon Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Just had a call from my mate who was there. Absolute couldron. No serious trouble outside that he saw, but he was grateful to see some police! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollandspies Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Don't think we've ever lost under Kevin Friend....his last two games for us will certainly be remembered for a long, long time!

laticsrblue Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I must be well 'ard. I turned up at 1/2 time for my 1st visit to the New Den (thought it was near the old one) . I told them I was a Latics fan and was let in through the reception and was escorted by a to a seat on the side of the ground, by the time I realised I was surrounded by Millwall supporters he'd gone. It was a nothing game as far as I remember but the Millwall lot were up out of their seats getting really worked up and baying for blood over nothing for most of the 1/2. I can well understand how they went mental today when they had something real to get worked up about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've not got any rep at all, despite what a few might lead others to believe.

rudemedic Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Forgot to take ya pills this morning ........ absolute rubbish Charming, however, on the BBC programmes about hooligans at the 2006 world cup it was mentioned that Oldham had a firm there (and we were one of the few teams mentioned). Plus in another series of programmes they did one solely about the riots in Oldham and again the club was mentioned as having a firm. I know our 'firm' is mainly young kids who like to mouth off a bit and there have been very few instances of crowd trouble at Oldham games but it does happen and the people who watch those programmes might think 'Oh best not go to Oldham as they've been mentioned' but i doubt it. If you You Tube Oldham+hooligans the first three references are connected to the club and the fourth is the world cup programme i mentioned above.

Markoasis Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Yep there are people from Oldham who travel with England (or travel to tournaments under the England banner)and cause trouble ..... none of them actually support Latics. Know many a Latics fan who follows England (myself go to all the homes) home and away, no England fans go away to cause trouble .... infact trouble makers have no chance of ever getting an England ticket. Very unusal for 'firms' to come to BP because as much as the media paints we have a hooligan element they know better!!! Some come out of the woodwork for big games, non unusually at the Den yesterday, like wolves away. The only people this kind of media tripe does is put families from traveling as they actually believe the rubbish the media prints. Much like the mail readers around BP who see us all a violent idiots threatening the town council into giving planning permission. Don't tell me you actually believe the stuff you've researched?????? Go to 85% games for the past few years ... apart from Wolves never seen a hint of trouble. Mix with home fans most aways in their local bar, social club, transport .... you seriously think if we had a 'rep' this would happen or that we would even be allowed into the grounds social club????

Being allowed into a ground's social club doesn't mean we don't have a rep. However, like you I've not seen much trouble at Oldham games for the past few years apart from Wolves and Blackpool (away in the play-offs), plus some good policing for Huddersfield stopped some, but who have we played in that time? Millwall, Swansea and Burnley have reputations but no-one else apart from Huddersfield will have caused any trouble (and that's because of their proximity). I don't believe a lot of the stuff that papers print about hooligans anyway but its not me that has to believe it its the families and other fans that believe it and MAYBE use it as an excuse not to go (which was my original point). I wouldn't be surprised if there was trouble at both Leeds and Everton however as these are big games and will attract people who wouldn't normally follow Oldham. Plus on the point about social clubs didn't we let in a load of cardiff fans into the Clayton arms when they beat us 7-1 and there was trouble as i heard a rumour that this happened, and you can't exactly say Cardiff don't have a reputation for trouble.

Am I missing something here, where was this trouble at Wolves that you speak about. I only saw the little scuffle with the Guy who used his kid to stop him getting smacked.

jimsleftfoot Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 If the BBC say something then it must be true. Surely if we had a problem all us regulars would have noticed and you'd also expect us to know a lot more than a BBC reporter who is on a day trip to the grim north for the day.

I only saw the little scuffle with the Guy who used his kid to stop him getting smacked. There was some trouble in one of the city centre pubs and one bloke got beat up by quite a few of them plus there was some trouble near the station after the game. Plus, I never said things had to be true i only said we had a growing reputation (note i didn't say a big reputation) and to get a reputation things have to be reported in the media and be believeable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
