Please keep the reports going next season. They're great.

I completely agree. Well done to the team. The flag has also put forward a positive side of Oldham Athletic to many away clubs and fans. I hope that the 'do' at the Rifle Range yesterday raised plenty of funds. I enjoyed the couple of hours I had there. Its a shame the club wasn't better represented. Well done to Deano, the only current player I saw attend.

Neither can I. Anyway. Well done the lad.

Really enjoy the Ernie flag reports. Will they carry on next season?

Can't wait.

Taylor shows 100% commitment even if hes not having a particularly good game you cant fault his effort. With good management (hopefully Joe) he will thrive and become a more confident player who knows how to get out of trouble when the opposition have seemingly got him marked out of the game. I've also noticed that since Joe has returned, Chris has been photographed in the paper out meeting schoolkids, giving out prizes etc. making the players and the club more 'real' to the young potential fans.

Good point I know of 3 17 year olds who don't go anymore, 3 empty seats loss of revenue say £250 this season lifetime lost customers £50K ?

Results stated to go wrong after Christmas really and we've never picked up. Dog's night was just a sympton of what was going on although I must say I was there and saw little going on.

Which OWTB members are on the programme?

Lets hope the fans get behind Chris and show him that we appreciate him. It would do wonders for his confidence.

I got worried on Saturday when Budtz came out on the pitch with Crossley for a catch practice as the teams lined up in the tunnel. I said then that it looked like he'd hd a panic attack. Think I was right!

my best match ever. Was beside myself waiting for the final whistle. If only.......

Good luck Shez. You got one hell of welcome at Sheff Weds when you went back and I'm sure you'll get the same next time you return to BP. Hopefully it will be in the Championship.

You've got to go in hope. I can't wait.

Thought it was interesting that they never mentioned once that it was a night out with the fans. It was as if there were no fans there, except for Hughsey and Simon Corney, they ignored us anyway.

Went into Latics shop this morning to buy a pink skarf. In true Latics style, they had sold out and will have more in on Tuesday. Useful! :

Please please practise passing.

Bored if they are waiting for Latics games which are usually few and far between!

Or controlling traffic on Broadway at he corner near the car park exit as people leave the ground and attempt to cross Broadway. It is only a matter of time before a pedestrian gets run over. An old man came very close last Saturday. Sometimes, the police have stood on the pavement and watched the bedlam. Well I suppose they will be there to complete the paperwork if there is an accident!

Thought that simple passing to a bue shirt was woeful yeterday. Possibly wind played a part but it was still disappointing.

Hopefully its because Shez has got it and is repeatedly making the team watch it!

Sorry if this has been mentioned before but have you noticed that Hughes doesn't seem to respond to the fans in the same way anymore when he scores a goal.

What did he say?

I have been going to Boundary Park for nearly 40 years and recently have been left feeling more and more like an away fan. I too have been displaced to the RRE and initially my husband and I found ourselves in the centre of the Stand and 'banter' with the Millwall fans brigade. We therefore moved ouselves towards the Lookers side of the RRE. Today we had to move again and also found ourselves sat in filthy seats almost on Shhepfoot Lane with a very displaced view of the pitch. (I couldn't see the RRE goal at all as everyone stood up when there was any excitement and at the angle I was at I couldn't see anything!) In the RRE stand, I admit the atmosphere is good, but you can't hear the PA system and the players warm up at the far end of the pitch and we are left with the visiting team. All this would be ok for the short term but realistically, when can you see the new stand being built? I will continue to come to Boundary Park but I must say the only positives are the performances (bar today) on the pitch.
