Quote from Hardy "I must stress that we are not scrapping the reserve team, but instead the manager is aiming to enhance the standard of opposition we will be facing." Enhance the opposition any more than this season and the reserves will be swamped in every game as opposed to just being thumped as they have been in most games this season. Maybe a better choice of words would have been that the manager was aiming to find a more appropriate level of opposition. The northern Pontins league seems to weak and the midlands too strong Unfortunately though players do not take friendlies seriously (both teams), and I doubt we could cobble together enough games to keep them ticking over at match fitness levels. Worst kind of cost cutting, which ever way it's spun.

They should have another 5 points docked for having the cheek to go to court.

LaticsWorld highlights aren't just a few seconds of the goals. You get 5 -10 min of action.

This is a whoosh right? Do we judge players on their 1st 90 min after 3 or 4 training sessions and 10min as a sub when he had only met his team-mates hours before? According to the commentators, Sheridan has been after Robertson for a while.

I think our main rivals for 6th place are Brighton and Bristol Rovers, both playing well with lots of games in hand and both sneaked Leeds style late goals today. And Leeds maybe :S

Maybe he has been giving the physios grief. And they said either he goes or we go. So, no Gregan is not being paid off.

"Their football shirts are black and red" Did we ever play in black and red (did Rochdale) or is it poetic licence. This must be the 1st song about a football team. Another 1st for Latics. I'm surprised its not been mentioned before. Is it in the Museum? PS A very catchy tune as well. I like it In my home town , In my home town, Football.....

He'd be daft to risk permanent damage just to play another season in a reserve team or in non league. How about a testimonial; Latics vs a team of UK based Aussie Professionals. Who will be the 1st to get an Aussie team together. I know you want to.

Sorry Mr Hunter, Churchill was born a toff, in Oxfordshire. He was Tory MP for Oldham though, 1900-1904, during which time Oldham deselected him! 1904 he became a Liberal. I doubt he had fond memories of Oldham!

There was a price difference, not sure if it was very big. When I 1st started going as a young lad in the early 60s, me and a friend used to pay 3d to transfer into the Broadway stand, we sat on the wall close to the 1/2 way line.

Being optimists me and my mates started off on the RRE assuming we would win the toss and play that way 1st.

Did all that and tried changing browsers from ffox to explorer. But still no joy. ? to "The Blue Real" are you on Tiscali ? Maybe my ISP (tiscali) is blocking it (subversive literature) I'm not trying to get the e-chron, just the regular online version.

Everything else works. This is the link I've always used http://www.oldham-chronicle.co.uk/main.html Is anyone else's different?

I've not been able to get it for 2 days now

I was thinking along the lines of how we will be paying for it, rather than a dedication. And seeing as the Trotman money isn't being spent on players, it MUST be going somewhere useful!

What would be a good name for the new scoreboard screen..........how about The Trotman screen.

A few years later I had a work colleague and friend who was a Notts County supporter, he was at the West Ham game where County won 2-1 and he told me about the crowd's euphoria followed by disbelief. He always argued that County had made us champions. However as their record against West Ham and Latics was identical ie lost one won one, I maintained it was nothing to do with County.

Shame its nor a better picture of Kevin Keegan tussling with Bebbington on the front cover. The cover says 9d. I only remember the bulletins being "free", and tangerine, as you went through the turnstiles. I suppose after Bates left the board changed their minds about not indirectly charging for it but kept the "bulletin" name.

Great work rummytheowl. 40 odd yrs late but at last I get to the read the programme. At the time I couldn't afford to waste 6d of my pocket money. What a rip off, all those adverts. Ledger and hard man Lawson 2 of my heroes.

How about Watford Close to big time Charley neighbours, similar sized town, humble beginnings. Shame we never had a rock star chairman.

Are we in for a cut of that £100K I wonder? Didn't he leave us on a free. And It was Liverpool who jumped the gun on the Austrian lad's deal. We only put it on our website after they had it on theirs. I think there would have been a few moaners about being the last to know if it had all gone through and Latics had only put it on their site several hours after Liverpool.

I'm not falling for this. It's just a ploy to get the page impressions above those of the Official Site.

Errrmm... more regular football?? Looks like he's played in nearly all of their games so far this season, 23 appearances. http://www.hullcityafc.premiumtv.co.uk/pag...38~9131,00.html

In his LW interview Shez inadvertently gave us the reason why Alessandra hasn't been called upon in the past, he said "I've told Lewis I want to see him work harder in training and show me he wants to play."

Trotman upfront. Desperate times and all that. He's a big lad, can put himself about, he knows where the goal is and we need someone to get on the end of those hopeful crosses.
