    A Tale of Two Clubs

    Thanks for all four parts. Very interesting comparison and Brian's explanation of Latics going to the dogs is very diplomatic.

     

    The decorated bus is brilliant. Is the owl related to Chaddy?

     

    Glad you enjoyed it. It's been fun putting it all together.

     

    The bus is the photo is fairly conservatively decorated compared to some you see on the roads over here.

     

    The owl and the shark photo was a lucky find on Google. I also discovered a band called Owl and Shark via the same search.

    oafctom : That Facebook page is mine. Thank you. Glad to hear that Chonburi's fame has spread far and wide. Bas Savage was at T.O.T. last season. I'm not sure if he's still there.

     

    disjointed : Glad you enjoyed it. Most of the people from the city are Chonburi fans. The club is the centre of the community and there is a lot of local pride attached. Good to see.

    An interesting read - looking forward to Part Two.

     

    With ‘Mouldy Old Dough’ in mind, does the Chonburi FC PA system play any music of which John Peel would have approved?

     

    The final away League game of the season is Orient away, and on that day we’ll be celebrating 45 years of marriage and 22 years since hugging you on the car park at Ipswich, having just watched Latics clinch promotion to the top flight for the first time in 68 years. :chubb:

     

    Thanks, Diego.

     

    The rest of the article makes for a very interesting read as well. Some good stuff coming up in the next few days.

     

    Sadly, in my opinion, the music at Chonburi is pretty poor. It's usually the same cd of club songs recorded by a local rock band. I'll send you a copy if you like, then you can make up your own mind.

     

    Time certainly flies. But I can remember every little detail from that day. Including the hug!!

    I love football

    It's been a long time since I felt really proud of the Latics.

    Today was one of those days.

     

    Well done Robbie Simpson, well done the to the team, well done Dickov, Philliskirk and Gerrard and well done to the fantastic away following that were lucky enough to witness a second-half miracle!

     

    I am praying that we get City or Utd away, in the next round.

     

    I'd rather get either of them at home. More chance of it being on TV. And me getting to watch it.

     

    Selfish, I know :-)

    Help Wanted

    I'm a lifelong Latics fan who runs an independent website for my local Thai team, Chonburi FC. I am looking for someone who is willing to be interviewed for my site about their matchday routine.

     

    Preferably, I'd like it to be a season ticket holder who lives in the Oldham area and travels to a fair number of away games but I'd be more than happy to hear from anyone who just attends regularly.

     

    If you're interested, please can you send me a PM and I'll get back to you asap.

     

    Thanks.

    Latics and music

    Step On by Happy Mondays always reminds me of the League Cup final against Nottingham Forest.

     

    London Calling by The Clash reminds me of a Friday night game against Birmingham City in December 1979. I bought the lp at a record shop just outside Piccadilly Station on my way to the match.

    Another New Manager Thread

    He's soon to be announced manager of 1860 Munich.

     

    OK. Thanks. The last story I heard over here was that he was considering staying on. He'd certainly be more fulfilled as a coach at 1860. His main job in Thailand was to attract headlines for Tero - he didn't even sit on the bench or oversee training sessions. However, his presence did inspire them to finish the season strongly - ending up a distant third - behind my club, Chonburi.

    My daughter's band back in the day is listed as No. 400 on 19.9.89.

     

    ThaiLatic will be disappointed that his band's session on 11.2.95 (repeated 16.9.95) is not included. This gives an insight into what doing a Peel session involved.

    Thanks for the plug, Diego. :-)
