  1. Total of 17 appearances and five as sub apparently. Left Latics for Sweden then Rochdale and then worked for City in their Community Programme.
  2. On sale to ST holders tomorrow initial 550 allocation for Main Stand
  3. I learned sadly on Saturday of the death of Dennis, a longtime and loyal Latics supporter since the 60s. A Shaw man, Dennis was a talented cricketer as well as playing football locally. It was doubly poignant that his death occurred in Mexico whilst there for his son’s wedding. RIP. Another Latic gone but not forgotten.
  4. Cambridge kept two players up when defending corners ....but none on their posts which probably cost them the first goal of ours.
  5. Is this the same player BP mentioned just the other week? The one whose club wouldn’t let him go out on loan.
  6. Ground capacity apparently 4200. Crowds (incl v Macclesfield in First Round) normally 2000 - 2300.
  7. I give you Scarborough in 72/3, 1-2 away in replay ( so we failed in two matches to beat them - and we were Div 3 at the time) However it was only three years since South Shields had beaten us in another replay , this time at home. Same score.
  8. Have now found mention of Galvin. Played 13 times and scored 3 goals in 1905/6, when we were still in Lancs Combination.
  9. Frank Hesham played for Latics from 1907 -9 . 40 first team matches. Lost his life whilst in Royal Garrison Artillery on the western front in 1915, aged 34 Sandy McAllister , 1905-6. 5 appearances. Died from food poisoning when serving with Northumberland Fusiliers in Italy in 1918, aged 39 Can,t find any record of Paddy Galvin ever appearing for our first team. EDIT: Now located him as playing before we entered the League. In 1905/6 he had 13 appearances , scoring 3 times.
  10. Arthur Cashmore, who played 16 times that season, received facial shrapnel injuries but after the war came back and played for the club until the end of 1919. None of the published record books give any mention of fatalities amongst the staff.
  11. I watched MK Dons at Hyde on tv , last season I think. What impressed me was the way MK went at them right from the start. None of the “let’s keep it tight to begin with , absorb their early enthusiasm and pressure “. MK pressed and attacked and took control. After that the result was never in doubt. Tactics for Monday? Go at them right from the start , be confident and assertive, and boss the match. Might not make a tv fairy tale story but sod that.
  12. 38000 for spurs v Newport (Rnd 4) last season and 47000 for the “derby” v Wimbledon (Rnd 3) - can’t see more for Latics
  13. Maybe we looked , maybe we didn’t. As he is still with the Premiership club it seems either nobody fancied him or his club didn’t want to loan him out ( or the conditions they wanted attached to his loan were too onerous) Keep putting names forward though.
  14. I like that ? Law didn’t sign for York till July 17 , by which time they had been relegated to Nat League North . Perhaps the prospect of playing at the new Community “ Stadium” (a longer saga than Spurs and their new ground) attracted him to a contract. Anyway if selected he’ll be back up against League opposition in the Cup next week at Swindon
  15. Josh Law gets 4 out of 10 after York lose 4-1 to Bradford PA. One of several to get a low mark. I have to admit I was surprised when he dropped down to York, I always thought he was half decent. "Josh Law 4 – very difficult to recall City’s right back laying a single tackle on an opponent"
  16. Pete Wild disappointed with the performance against Altrincham https://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/2018/november/02112018-altrincham-u18-reaction/
