I have been all things latics for 35+ so i like to think i know my onions....believe me i understand how most of you are feeling right now, the best thing that has ever happened to the club while i have been there is the slogan KEEP THE FAITH, we adopted some years ago. it is a very strong statement we can refer to when times are like they are now. we have been in worse positions than this on and off the pitch and got through them...the club, (YOUR CLUB) isnt just the players and the manager on a Saturday afternoon, its the fixtures and fittings, THE CHADDY, we have loved and defended over the years, THE ROCKY RD we have adopted as our spiritual home, and before that sang and sworn at, THE MAIN STAND, oh the main stand, where so many famous faces have sat, where (in my opinion) all the owld moaners sit, who ironically we moan at, THE LOOKERS, yeah its gone but what about the memories, when you think of BP its still there, THE THREE AMIGOS, our saviours with thier bottomless pockets (which dont really exist you know). THE BACKROOM STAFF, Gordon, the running about he does, he should be 6 bleedin stone, STU AND NOW ACKY, bringing us the news daily (good and bad) THE TICKET OFFICE AND SHOP....the list is endless, so much work goes on and on, FOR US! The players, the manager? they dont support Oldham Athletic like we do, we'll be here when they have gone like we were befere they arrived. ok it makes a statement booin em and jeerin em, i dont condemn nor condone it, i believe in freedom of speech....the message i am getting across is. THIS IS OUR CLUB!, dont hate it, LOVE IT with a passion, good things come to those who wait, i waited 25 years for the good times, and im prepared to wait another 25, who's with me?
KEEP THE FAITH!
