  1. The extended highlights last week had Sam and Roy commentating, but it was slightly out of sync. The commentary was just a little ahead of the picture. Other people watching abroad have mentioned this as well. Hopefully it's better tonight.
  2. As I said earlier. Carlisle sold out and were given more tickets in the opposite end. Morcambe fans had to go in both sides.
  3. I know it's a long time since we were at this level, but from what I remember there were some terrible teams in the division. L1 teams are pretty similar apart from the odd team at the top like Wolves when they got promoted.
  4. As for the debts AL has had to pay which were left by Corney. Surely if they were hidden then AL goes after Corney. If they weren't hidden and AL's accountants didn't spot hem during due diligence, then AL goes after the accountants for recompense. Maybe he has already instructed lawyers to get his money back. People say that Corney is skint, but I bet he owns property both here and in the US. Then again his ex wife may have already taken him to the cleaners. As for the youth system. Someone mentioned earlier that he thought it was category 3. I'm not sure myself, but I remember TP saying a couple of years ago that after we had been inspected he was told that we could move up a category, but TP said it wasn't possible, because at the next level they need something like 8 pitches and we don't have the land to do that. On another issue. I seem to remember AL told the trust that he was bringing in new board members, and further investment. Maybe these new investors have pulled out for some reason, and AL is now left holding he baby.
  5. He's probably training with the youth team until he apologises for whatever he's done, which is why the word foreseeable is being used.
  6. It was one of the other radio stations which Roy had done a favour for kept cutting us off. Roy said he won't be doing it for them again.
  7. It's a big game for Macc. and they will be out to do us over and they will be well up for it. I hope we are ready for them.
  8. Carlisle sold out their allocation last season and asked for more tickets. They were then given the terrace at the other end as well.
  9. They could play their 3rd choice team and beat us at the moment. Not going, but I'll be their Saturday.
  10. AL keeps saying that there is nothing without the fans. Yet he is doing everything possible to make them walk away. Is he saving his money to buy out Blitz and Gazal, or has he lost interest already? It just doesn't make sense. On another note, I wonder why FB stating that we cannot afford the likes of Eoin Doyle any more, and that the resources aren't their other than to bring in young kids, was cut out of his post match interview.
  11. Too many players getting injured in training for me. We need more bodies in for cover. An experienced CB is a must.
  12. Despite a full season at Sunny he only came off the bench once in he league and twice in the league cup.
  13. From what was being said by Roy yesterday I doubt Hamer will be here. John Helm said it looked like he was off to Leeds, but Roy said maybe not, as a Premiership club had outbid them
  14. We are evens to finish bottom half. Best odds for relegation 18-1 at Marathon. Bet365 have us at 8-1. Best odds to finish bottom 33-1 at BetVictor. Again Bet365 are worst at 20-1.
  15. That's about spot on. Wellens said he played him wide right because of our injury situation, which Byrne new all about. He should have been willing to help out and be more disciplined by not drifting into the centre leaving the full back exposed.
  16. Everyone has to pick up a new card from Wednesday taking their receipt with them. https://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/2018/july/23072018-new-season-card-collections/
  17. The best odds for us to get promoted are 4-1. Unibet and 888bet have us at 5-2. The best odds for us to win the league are 22-1 at Skybet. Paddypower have us at 10-1. Only Skybet have a market to win the playoffs and we are 16-1. The best odds for us to finish in the top 3 are 6-1 by all the bookies with this market. Our best odds for a top 7 finish are 9-4 at Skybet, all the others have us at 2-1. Our best odds for a top half finish are 5-6 at Skybet and Betfred. Worst 8-11 at William Hill. Hardly worth bothering this year.
  18. 4.8% that's a bit strong for a footy club.
  19. Byrne must be on very good money to have tempted him to sign, so paying him off would be very expensive. Lot's of clubs will be put off signing him especially for a fee after what must be attitude problems both here and at Wigan and possibly Blackburn. We may be stuck with him.
  20. If that is what happens then I can see support haemorrhaging, even the away support.
  21. That was done to get the wage bill down in order to be able to sign the likes of Doyle. He didn't exactly do much to keep Bury up did he. I remember lots of people on here saying Clarks legs had gone.
