  1. I'm afraid at was at all the five most recent lowest attendances - your first list. They were dire days. But I was also in the 41733 v Liverpool in 1962, the 27888 v Peterboro in Div 4 in 1961, and other 20000 plus gates. Our gates will rise again, as will the club. Keep the faith.
  2. No good will come of this. Who have we ever had who has played for Leeds that's been any good? Nobody . Other than Ritchie. Wright, Irwin, Shez, Gregan and Linighan, absolutely nobody. Mark my words.
  3. Rumour first started before Trotman went. Less likely now.
  4. Put your toys back in. TTA have made money available - Shez won't make his mind up.
  5. Neil Harris told he can go out on loan from Millwall. Probably past it now but he was an excellent striker in his time. Think he had time out because of testicular cancer.
  6. No contracts for the demolition of the Lookers could have been completed until after OPP for the whole stadium was granted. There's then the actual availability of demolition firms etc to be considered. So "full steam ahead" may justifiably apply to the contract negotiations and logistical issues. But we do need magic hands on the players asap!
  7. Official site says both Senior and Youth team physios are off immediately! What's the story here? These are as important as a good player. http://www.oldhamathletic.premiumtv.co.uk/...1249544,00.html
  8. I was at school with his son Ian. Eric was Latics' top scorer until Roger Palmer - and awarded the Dodger a trophy when his record went. Seven goals in our 11-2 victory over Chester and a member of the Div 3 North championship team.
  9. "Ra - ra - ra - ra - rafferty " was the chant went he was seen. Wandered around out of his seat after the Chaddy became all seater to the annoyance of stewards and the amusement of everyone else. Old school Latics from the 60s.
  10. Nice header. Forehead, eyes open..... But who was it to!!??
  11. I've sent my best wishes to this address and asked for them to be passed on. secretary@graysathletic.co.uk Let him know we're thinking of him.
  12. He'll make his own mind up as he always has done. Decided to quit England because he felt that was right for him, and I'm sure he'll think long and hard about what he does in 18mths time.
  13. it's there loud and clear ! About 2mins 20 secs in there are a good few mentions (plus one early on too!)>
  14. Absolutely brilliant! A 1931 song about the Latics - Maybe Stu can put a link on the official site.
  15. Michel Kuipers is expecting a "tasty" rematch with Oldham following the battle of Boundary Park. Albion's imposing Dutch goalkeeper is ready for anything the visitors throw at him after the Seagulls' unlikely draw in Lancashire six weeks ago. They played most of the match with ten men, Dean Hammond seeing red early on, but escaped with a point thanks to an injury time equaliser by substitute Nathan Elder. That infuriated Oldham. Players clashed in the tunnel after the final whistle and Albion abandoned their customary post-match warm-down. Hammond and Elder have both left the club since then but Kuipers is prepared for an Oldham backlash as they try to settle a score in much the same way Albion did themselves with Tuesday's late comeback at home to Cheltenham avenging a stoppage time defeat in Gloucestershire ten days earlier. Kuipers said: "It was quite feisty at Oldham and they will be wanting to take revenge on us in the same way we did to Cheltenham. "I expect quite a tasty game and I look forward to those. After the game there was some disagreeing going on, so bring it on tomorrow and let us see how tough they will be. They weren't happy that we equalised, because they had ten against 11 for a very long time. I am sure they are out for revenge but we are out hopefully to prove that if we had 11 men we would have beaten them." It seems as though Brighton are expecting a match with some passion tomorrow. Their manager is quoted on their official site as saying how Latics are a physical team. Time for cool heads and committment!
  16. The first few months I can distinctly recall him copping flak and being regarded with a lack of confidence by many fans. I think the main problem was that he had replaced Jimy Frizzell a manager who was admired by most and so Royle , unfairly, bore the brunt of that resentment.
  17. The cover of the 1977/78 programme has an image just like the one you describe. Is that it? see Museum de Latique website.
  18. Also wilf Mannion (Nearly came from Boro in what would have been sensational move and mentions it) Add biographies; George Hardwick Bobby Johnstone
  19. I saw that in WSC and it's deserved . Keep up the good work. The article in WSC about Manchester Central FC and how they were a real threat to MUFC was fascinating - maybe a piece about that on the programme sometime?
  20. I'm sure that this match (v wolves) was the one where Denis Law landed in a helicopter on the pitch before the game delivering the match ball. Ah the razamataz of the old days!
  21. 74 current league clubs 7 ex league clubs now in non league 12 other non league 2 Slovak 1 German 2 Scottish Wembley
