Failsworth itself has not been a part of the City of Manchester for 115 years, since the Failsworth Urban District, in the county of Lancashire, was created following the 1894 Local Government Act.

Couldn't find it on the BBC i player! Who was the host or what was the show called??

Sammy Lee was also a good coach with a good reputation, but he couldn't make the step up to manager.

Mick Wadsworth?

It's not 'completely different', it's virtually the same design by the same company. Have another look! I won't be buying it.

Some people seem to have a problem with Gannon. Can you tell me what the problem is?

I thought it was supposed to be an innovative design, rather than a copy of Rochdale's change strip that JD are flogging in the sales? What colour are the sleeves, pale blue or (off) white? Sorry, but it looks awful.

Latics website says more details to follow.

Official SMS.

Maybe it's just a marketing ploy, but I won't be happy if we move away from blue and white! Don't forget to vote - and vote LABOUR.

A different shade of blue is not a different colour. White is not classed as a colour either - is it?

Yes, a wasted opportunity if it's true.

I'd go for the blue and white halves (with the broad blue stripe down the middle), which we had for over 40 years until the late 1960s. It would be as unique as Bristol R or Blackburn R. I'm not very keen on the blue shirts with white sleeves though. A bit like Arsenal in blue!

Sh*t, now I'm tempted to renew! Maximum price for a st before 21 May is £299. But, if we get relegated or Penney is still in charge?

I'll delay renewing my S/T if Penney is still in charge. From the comments made recently by Simon Corney and Alan Hardy, I have a feeling that Penney may still be here at the beginning of next season! I hope I'm wrong. Any other names in the frame other than Gannon?

bob - You win the 1st prize, which is 24 hours with Dave Penney!!!

One of the objections to the club's move to a new stadium could be lifted as Oldham Council today logged a written request to the Royal Mail to change the Failsworth post code from M35 to OL35. This would bring all the borough under the OL postal district. Details of the request should be available on the council's website before noon today.

I agree that repeating something twice doesn’t necessarily make it true, but seeing it with my own eyes does! In all my years of sitting (and standing) in the main stand paddock I’ve never seen any trouble from the home supporters. As such the behaviour of the stewards was, to say the least, a little strange. I can only conclude that someone at the club was worried about how the home fans would react to DP if we were losing? One or two of the home fans were taking the mickey out of these stewards, which was certainly more entertaining than some of the football on display!

No - but I don't plan to renew my season ticket if we get relegated OR if Dave Penis is still Manager.

What has it come to when Dave Penney is so unpopular that he has to be protected from Latics (2700)supporters by the club's own stewards? I can remember demonstrations outside the ground against Graeme Sharp and calls for Ronnie Moore's head, but I've never seen stewards organise to protect an under fire Manager before! Is Dave Penney the most unpopular Manager in the club's history?

What has it come to when Dave Penney is so unpopular that he has to be protected from Latics supporters (all 2700 of them!) by the club's own stewards?

According to the Oldham Advertiser: "Oldham Council is to forge ahead with plans to allow Oldham Athletic to build a new stadium in Failsworth by registering the disputed land as a charitable trust. As part of the 'scheme' it will apply to the Charity Commission for permission to swap the charitable status of 8.6 acres of land north of the Lancaster Club with an as yet unidentified site. The council hopes this will appease residents opposed to losing the swathes of grassland to a 12,000 seater stadium and community facilities, and allow the stalled development to progress. Following expert legal advice the council has finally accepted that the land has charitable status after months of discussion with the regulator were inconclusive." Is that clear? Sounds a bit like Clayton Playing Fields (Part 2)?
