OAFC1984

Didn’t Corney set up a new company for the ad boards? Did he include that with the badge then?

“Office space” is generous, Eden had a tiny partitioned off section at the front of the club shop with a desk and Ric’s laptop in and no heating. He did a hell of a lot of unpaid work for the club on top of his own business for that

I asked how much for “AL out” for 2 mins a go but they never got back to me

good point

Whos the little prick been upsetting now?

Whilst the 9th tier doesn’t exactly turn me on, Bolton fans creamed themselves over the non moral times and look at them now

I assume they live there, arent paying wont need stewards or policing or a safety certificate which is currently in the clubs name only plus its a requirement to know attendance numbers for which the club use a turnstile counter - for a non OAFC entity to allow peope through the Nirth stand doors would need the clubs agreement. now if they want to build a scaffold in the car park that’s another matter

It’s the same reason the gym has to put the shutters down during matches. The match is a product which isn’t the North Stand’s to sell

Hopefully if that happens we can make the £40 back

This thread reminds me of everytime I go to my Grans and shes been trying to use the internet

He could hold board meetings without telling him like Corney did with the last one but that would require board meetings in the first place

The whole world wasn’t against OAFC before he took over I was extremely optimistic when he took over as I was far from Corney’s biggest fan at the end. The evidence so far doesn’t look promising but trust me should he prove me wrong I would be amongst the first to shake his hand and say I was a negative non believing prick

FIFY

AL also says that to use the North Stand would result in the friendlies making a loss for the club - now I admit Im no expert in running costs of a football match but wages of stewards, staff and overheads such as electric will be the same whether its 3000 paying 20 quid or a few hundred paying a fiver so not sure how he expected to make a profit anyway. I imagine some form of police will be there considering the opposition too

No I don’t know everything about the situation and if it was just this in isolation I would probably be less inclined to jump on his back but one thing after another over and over and AL’s “woe is me I didn’t know what I was buying” just smacks of bollocks. No one told him what he was buying, Mike Keegan has it in for the club, Brass Bank has it in for the club, The FLG has it in for the club, staff leaving left right and centre with not a decent thing to say about the bloke (again a couple in isolation Id accept they might be in the wrong but all?) every man and is dog is picking on poor old AL except for a few of the “the fan” who appear to be Birkett and his cronies

I didn’t quote him (dont know much German) and I insinuated he would be proud of AL’s knack for propaganda but Ok petal

Goebbels peddled propaganda - if you are overly sensitive or think I am suggesting AL may instigate a second holocaust thats your issue

No I believe (and know) that the club payed a flat rental to the OEC for the use of the stand on match days which was never hidden. I also know that money transferred back and forth between OAFC and OEC several times to meet varying obligations each had in a Peter/Paul kind of way. And if that was their only revenue stream I assume all those weddings and Christmas parties they’ve had for the last 3-4 years must have got them for free

Neil Joy, Mark Moisley & Corney all said on more than one occasion that all matchday income from the North Stand went into the football club - now I am not by any stretch saying those three were bastions of truth (especially Corney) but who showed you these figures? If its a man that releases statements Goebbels would be proud of then I would question their legitimacy

Wrong wrong very wrong in the sense that the fucking idiot cant possibly have any teddies left

All these things being done “in the best interests of Oldham Athletic” he really is a fucking prick

Misty round your parts is it? If we cant afford about 50 quid for a shirt that will be auctioned or sold anyway then we cant afford “a fucking striker” and especially not a shit one

The shirts retail at what £40 and the printing is about £2 per number yet you’re ok with paying Vera a wage for 12 months? You crack me up

To be fair this could be a way of channeling resources into the first team - he will be first team manager/coach/ pitch side ornament before the end of season and still on youth team wages

Are the bookies taking bets on him being new 1st team “coach” yet?
