Coventry are the team that seem to be dropping like a stone

Exactly the same form as us over the last six games!

W1 D2 L3 GD -4

Can someone please explain to me how a topic that relates to the New Stand has suddenly become a cultural debate on the issue of smoking and cost to the NHS - can we please get back on topic.

They were never as good as a Snickers.....then again, i never tried smoking one......

It's outside. With that attitude you will never step foot out of your home again for fear of someone's cigarette smoke drifting towards you.

Where do you go when you need a :censored:?......don't bother, i can see the lines everywhere.

 

Why not just pull out the league and have matches between two Oldham teams then... ;)

People would get bored travelling to Plymouth every other week.

All they need to do is paint a line.

That'll stop the smoke drifting.......

If vocal support were measured by ego, we'd surely have the best support in the land. I wonder how many of the fans who demand so much more info from the club do so of their employers, their banks, their supermarkets......their kids even. Before the internet, you could write in to the chron at best. Now access is free to all it seems to lead to every moron and his dog believing they have a right to demand answers to every action taken. Oldham Athletic is a business and as such, we are extremely lucky to have a voice on the board of directors. That voice is in a no-win situation and too many keyboard warriors try to take advantage of that compromise. We're a third division club with low crowds in a broken town. Without Simon Corney, we likely wouldn't have a Barry Owen on the board, without Barry Owen, we likely wouldn't get the fans forums, we wouldn't have the links to the club from this message board and we would all know far less than we do now. What do people really want? Corney and Owen stick it out no matter what :censored:e comes back at them because they realise that there are reasonable, understanding people out there who appreciate the feedback they give. Stockport County......there but for the grace of God go we!

Southport away, Easter (think it was1974?). First time I remember thinking WOW! at the size of a Latics away following. We'd taken big numbers away all season but 7/8 of the crowd were from Oldham that day.

Formby away (FAC) around similar time and the charge across the pitch at half time.

Julian Dicks hitting the crossbar in the semi, 2nd leg. We were 3-0 down with 25 minutes left with a 6-0 first leg lead and I reckon we'd have capitulated if Dicks's effort had gone in

Four days in London for the LC Final 1990

Final whistle at Ipswich 1991

Any sain latics fan (if there is such a thing)

There isn't such a thing.....anything!

The Melbourne derby for me

True, when the company I work for was bought out around 8 years ago the deal cost £670m. The fact I brew up and sweep up is irrelevant.....

Do you work for Vita?

We should name the bar in the Lookers 'The Frizzell Bar'.....only sell tins mind!

It speaks far more about how Ford build things, than Latics.

Ehhh???

Obviously out of date....list Rangers and Dunfermline as SPL and doesn't include Dundee or Ross County

Surely Dickov has shown us that you should only appoint someone who has coaching experience. Ex players should not walk into management jobs.

I look at £70 on a home game versus 400 nappies for my daughter.

Geez.....how much :censored:ting does she do????? Sounds like you should buy her a pack of immodium AND get to Latics

Who wants to look at the bottom of 3,000 fake reebok classics?

You're obviously not one who'll be shouting and balling if they don't get a ticket then, i sympathise with your situation.

My sentiments remain though, i should have however said 'the majority' and not all, maybe gob:censored:es was probably a bit OTT too!

How many England games have you been to?........and if you got a chance of world cup tickets would you want to go?

Puts the Dickov situation into some context!

Otid, I posted your post on The Shamrock Rovers Fans' Forum, where there is much support for Latics.

 

I quote from one reply:

Brilliant.......the wit of the Irish!

Shucks.....career over before it started !

Evidence I'm not nearly as smart as I thought.

Get ín..Barnard.

It seems like poor form to have a go at them for their behaviour before they've even got here!

Just a bit of fun on the back of the other one LL....i reckon i've had just as much a poke at Oldham in the post as Liverpool.

On the basis that you come from the comparatively normal end of Stanley Park, and the fact that we recently had the dubious pleasure of hosting your web fingered cousins, we thought it prudent to engage with you ahead of your forthcoming cup final at the ever so slightly less :censored:ty end of the East Lancs Road.

On arrival, you are likely to find numerous welcoming pubs whose landlords will be delighted if you were to return the glasses your inbred neighbours relocated to Merseyside on their recent scouting trip. In return, you may take back the huge bottom lip we found in the Rochdale Road End........although we understand that carrying two back may prove more difficult than first imagined. You may wish to consult with supporters of Leeds United who have decades of relevant experience.

In the vacinity of the stadium, we also have a plethora of takeaways of every ethnicity and we considered that as a gesture of reciprocation for our last visit to Goodison Park, we might set set fire to one just before kick off. Unfortunately, such is the proximity of Featherstall Road to the ground.......there is concern that setting fire to a kebab shop might spread to such an extent the International Space Station could melt and fall to earth. NASA have advised there is no guarantee it would fall on Merseyside so unfortunately the fire brigade have intervened. You ought though, should you venture into the Featherstall Road area, be alert to flaming missiles in any case.......just as you would back home. Think of it as Toxteth light.

During the game itself, we would appreciate that should you collectively break into song upon the unlikely instance of good play by your team........you do so in a language discernable by other humans, unlike the acccch, iccccch, eccccch sounds uttered by your incomprehensible, scruffy mates from Anfield. We would also appreciate that you inform us ahead of your visit, the number of pies your are likely to consume. On recent occasions, we have significantly underestimated demand which has led to an increase in the population of feral animals in the locality, though we understand you are unlikely to notice.

Please enjoy the day, as best you know how......but be aware that urinating in public places is frowned upon in these parts......and unlike where you come from is not deemed an act of courtship, and unlikey to be a pre-cursor to a sexual encounter.......unless of course you know your way to the Candlelight.

Have fun!
