He's on the 2nd page. Dont know if this petition is getting hijacked but a certain Paul Scholes has signed it aswell.

he must read the owtb site coz he makes a reference to it

don't panic

vs Spuds, couldn't tell you the year but I was 'stood' on the rocky terracing, so what's that 1991?? god knows, but spent the whole game not being able to see as i was knee high to a grasshopper, and sum copper felt sorry for me so passed some jelly babies through the metal fence for me to munch on and before anyone says it, (awaits Peter File jokes)

 

didnt enjoy it anyway because i couldn;t see so didnt go back until we were in what was Div 1 (Championship), actually probably Charlton 1st game of the season when we won 5-2, super Sean Mccarthy brace?? saw a couple of years in that div and then been stuck in this god damn awful division ever since, oh how i'd love a promotion

Maybe you could raise some money by streaming it on the internet........ I am sure some sickos would pay for it.

I love wotsits, i'd sign up

OMBC f'd that deal up with IKEA and not the price of the land, just like they messed up with M & S etc

I do agree with the sentiments of the OP but Iv got a feeling we're gonna do em so it'll be worth every penny (not dave)

An interesting contradiction between your first two posts Barry - Probably summing up the fact that people who dont go will always find an excuse, whether that be the cost, or the fact that we had a useless pile of yorkshire poop in charge last season, or the pies are cold, or the lookers has been knocked down, or Man Yoo are on TV...

 

As has been said, its all gravy unless there is a decent product on the pitch. I always cringe when these things are announced because you can virtually guarantee the worst game of the season as a result. Lets just hope its a decent performance as that is the only thing that will ensure people come back.

 

.. and as has been said, this isnt some sort of high-horse competition. If it works, it works, if not, oh-well. Lets just hope it doesnt lead to another toys out of pram moment if no bugger chooses to turn up. I dont live in Oldham so I dont know - but I hope this is also being marketed properly. Shoving a couple of guilt trips on here and on the website isnt enough...

I asked 5 people yesterday who no longer go, 2 ignored me, one said maybe, will see on the day, another said defo, one said depends if they're back from their weekend break, asked 2 of them why they no longer go and what would make them come back, Lookers Stand, and playing in this mook division/stadium, both said they'd come back if we got promoted and or got a new stadium, and these aren't 'part-timers' they'd been long term supporters until 2/3 seasons ago.

Fantastic offer, absolutely no excuse now for the stay aways to well...stay away, get down to BP next Tues and show ya support.

vs huddersfield away... the fans should try out the poznan... search into you tube

and see if we can start it for a great atmosphere

 

pass this round, and see if we can have a great day out, if we get everyone to do it, it'll be famous, the city game did it and see how many cameras there were, lets be that club... lets show how amazing our fans really are

funniest comment of the day so far for me

Plenty of room off Sir Issac Newton way.

True, surely an option?

everyone keeps mentioning Tameside, have Tameside, Ashton, Council or what/who ever come out and said they'd even want Latics in their town.

Out of interest, and apologies if any1 else has already answered this, but whats happening with those houses being "built" behind the Chaddy? nothing seems to have happened for months and there is a sign advertising 5/6? a side football, but with no phone numbers or details where it is, (granted i haven't fully studied the board on my way to getting a pie) .

The answer is to build on the Clegg Street warehouse site, refurbish the warehouse as an hotel and relocate Matalan.

Perfect for the Metrolink too.

Planning permission there would be no problem I imagine.

 

Another soloution would be for Rochdale and Latics to build a joint stadium on Kingsway, I know there are Football league rules about clubs playing outside town boundaries, but surely the FL would see the sense is this if it meant both clubs could have a secure future.

Been saying the above 2 for years, the Matalan site would be perfect.

I'm with you on this one. Also, I'll be much warmer watching it at home and, if it's not a good game, I can flick over to Corrie. Happy days.

Bet you end up going!

Oldham 2-0 Daggers

Huddersfield 1-1 Oldham

Oldham 2-1 Carlisle

Bristol Rovers 0-1 Oldham

Oldham 2-2 Peterborough

RIP Richard.

And they've got 4 stands

Am not having that "stand" to the left of the away end as actually being a stand

Is there no option of: Bollocks to the England game, we're :censored: and we're only playing a minor country?

I concur, lost all interest in England, would prefer Sat 3pm

the Flying Scotsman = quality place

earlier train for Leyton I think

Aren't people pathetic, Chaddy has always done that...muppets!!

Looking forward to some John Willy's in the Greyhound beforehand and a great game obviously!

i go in the Greyhound pre-match, and whats happened, it used to be rammed before games, now its quite empty, well im gonna answer my own question, its because no one goes to the games anymore

Cheers Alex Balls, think sounds like the best bet to be honest

 

Looking forward to the game Saturday, should be a good game

 

Your welcome.

yeah i'm looking forward to it, but i can't call which way it's gonna go, you've been top recently, hammered Rotherham tuther night but we're unbeaten at home, heart says we'll get summit, head says we won't, whats everyone else reckon?

I would put it at a good 30-45 mins walk

to be honest pal, id go to a boozer near the ground, have a pint and ask the bar staff to ring you a taxi, take the taxi to Mills Hill Train Station, cost about a £5, then from Mills Hill its a 10-15 minute train journey to Manchester, and as stated earlier, the train station is directly under the MEN, so walk up the steps to the Arena.

The bus isn't a bad shout either, but if you don't know Manc your not gonna know where to get off, where the Arena is etc. But then again, im a fuss pot and wouldnt want to get lost lol

am logging out now, but...

who has played in merseyside, munich (german), tyne-tees and milan derbies???

I know it now, it's Ray Houghton for the Republic of Ireland who was born in Glasgow ;)

 

Who is the only player to score in a Manchester, Merseyside and Glasgow derby?

kanchelskis?

No more tickets to be sold on the advice of Police.......those that have lost/thrown their tickets away are gonna be wounded, £20.00 literally down the drain.
