EASTLEY

Hi Lags, Can I get one of these have been recontributing since last season? Cheers Rob

Simon Corney is a good footballer, it was one sided, I know I was on the receiving end of it ;)

I am, have played in goal in a couple of these before

Cheers Sav, what a night, I went to the 3-0 reverse at Upton Park that year to - in fact got went to and got in to every game in the Littlewoods cup that year! Good times

Remember it well, Phil Parkes in goal as Ludo was injured Top left of as you look at it from the pitch ........... "Has Macari had a bet" timeless..... Was it Earl who set us on our way or Neil Adams?

This is bang on - "March Madness" is the official title in the IT world, though it does seem to be less of a blip these days

That was the rumour I was told about at Huddersfield yesterday

Done, 139 now

So LL, if you get charged on a services car park on the motorway(2 hrs parking)and overstay are you saying you don't have to pay the fine? Cheers Rob

RIP Richard, Shocked as always by news like this heartfelt condolences to his family and friends

I'm another season ticket holder and I completely agree

My nearest game so will be there

Andy Barlow or Andy Holden would be my choices or maybe Darren McDonagh

Look great, are you doing kids sizes to ;) if so I'll invest in 1 for me and 1 for the little one!

If Saturday was anything to go by definitley ;) lets hope its not a false dawn

I just think its great that a thread has been created where we are discussing the possibilities of the internal workings of Latics being similar to those of Barcelona and Real Madrid. The sun really is starting to shine on us Oldham Athletic - mes que un club

Great - sorry re-reading my original post sounds a bit critical which it wasn't mean't to be - love the look of the shirts btw

No Vic Halom or Ian Wood? Think its a bit harsh on Barlow to suggest he isn't a leg end

And sign Nicky Weaver?

I take your point - its the first time I have ever been called a socialist as well - WOW I suppose a 5 year contract may have to be in place, but my resolution is that a percentage of the cash would pay the wage of the elected fan owner representitive - who then works to agreed kpi's rather than the voluntary trust arrangement that we have in place. All hypothetical though, and I don't think we'd find 1000 fans with a spare £5k anyway so as you say a "non-starter"

"I personally don't think an entirely supporter owned club is the way forward, though I'm not against the idea, and I do think more can be done with a different style trust/100s minority shareholders." I agree here so my view is a combination of the two with a substantial "fan-investor" contribution and other wealthy contributors but with balanced voting and share/debenture rights. This could help improve short/mid-term finances and ensure the contributors have more of a say and share of responsibility if things do or don't go to plan. All hypothetical though, I don't get the feeling from the few posts on here that it could be a goer

I understand what you are saying , but if it is a way of raising £1m/year over 5 years then it is something the club may consider. AH, SC etc have stated that the club needs investment, this maybe a way of finding it in the short term and providing a playing budget to help us move upwards in the mid term which will hopefully in turn bring punters through the gates. You are right abt the size of the squad tho, hopefully some of our current loans can become permanent in Jan offsetting the need to sell current individuals producing for us

Absolutely, though in reality this may have to be via a mouthpiece that the fans employ(ie pay a wage)to roll out major decisions voted on by the fan investors
