Agreed. Don't think we'll top 5000 this time.... If we do, it wont be by many. Only due to the fact we've played there relatively recently. There'll be plenty of tickets to go round. Also, it's worth pointing out that just cos you're last in line doesn't mean your seats will be worse. Sometimes, those who buy them later can be more central. Everyone will just need to chill, there won't be anyone ticketless, even if season tickets holders and voucher holders get 2 each.

Oh dear

I suggest you pop over to the club before saturday - I'm sure they'd let you in the stand to have a look. Good luck

Agreed - it would be great if prices elsewhere in the ground would remain unaltered (other than away end).

Its interesting to read peoples views on whether they would like to look at, or sit in the new stand, when it arrives. Personally, I feel that interest will out strip supply if the pricing structure remains similar to what is currently in place. As such, I would've thought the price of tickets in the new stand will be pitched at a level which will ensure some punters will remain where they are. Otherwise every man and his dog will be clamouring for tickets in the new stand. On the basis there will be conference facilities in the new stand, this will, I would've thought, open up a new type of ticket option ie pre match meal, drinks and match ticket. I'd have thought these ticket holders would get the seats on the half way line. Then there will be the box holders, who will no doubt have a couple of rows of seats in front of the boxes. The rest of the seats will probably then be match tickets only, with access to much improved facilities, bar, tv highlights etc - I wouldn't be surprised if these are pitched at £150 - £200 more than current main stand upper prices. After all, the club have held prices for a long spell. In retaining the prices elsewhere in the ground, punters will still have the choice to retain there outgoings at current levels by staying where they are.

So so happy with the performance this month. 2 solid draws followed by 4 wins, three of them on the road. LJ is surely nailed on for manager of the month. Richly deserved too.

Where's the first place you can see them? Checked the schedules..... Is there nothing tonight?

Just home from a fantastic 5-1 win ....... And read this. I really despair at some so called fans on here. Go kick a cat somewhere fool.

It's no wonder that the forgotten legend remains to be...... Erm, I've forgotten. Oh yes, my first choice, Andy Barlow. Local lad came good, loyal, was here through the glory days, was the player felled in the box which lead to the redfern pen. And most of all, introduced me to the oldham delicacy, pudding on a muffin.

It'll be on in my front room, happy to turn the tv round slightly. think this may enable live streaming through the front window?

Cast your minds back to January. It was certain that Baxter was on his way. We had enjoyed his services for a few months however it was clear that he was one of the best talents we'd had at BP for quite some time. I personally spoke to a number of scouts in the crowd at the time who, to a man, said he wasn't good enough for the Championship - two of them said they had been tracking him since his Everton days. I disagreed at the time, thought he was able - probably just needed a break. Credit to Simon Corney, we agreed a 2 and a half year contract for the lad - greeted with amazement by the BP crowd. Baxter held ALL the cards at the time. SC has gone on record stating he wished the trigger could have been higher, however, we had to be grateful for what we had. I think we all agreed, it was great business. JB was instrumental (with a little help from Smith and others) in great cup runs and survival. He showed his attributes in abundance, great touch, eye for a pass, however he did show at times why the scouts hadn't gone for him - lack of team spirit (only sometimes) ie tracking back etc. It's interesting that its another L1 team that has signed him - still the Championship clubs remain shy. Personally, I've enjoyed watching him, but his departure comes at a time when we are in decent shape. As such i am not so worried. if the fee is £350000 then thats great business and far more than I expected. Korey Smith can now shine. He has played in the shadow of JB and has been rock solid since he first signed. Sure we need back up in the central area, but Korey and Wes looks good to me. I wish Baxter well. We were good for him, and he was good for us.

More likely to be second. First impressions of Sidney ...... Lets just say room for improvement, hopefully once settled true form will prevail.

On his day, brilliant. Hope he takes the form into the season.

Really ? I worried about Tarky last year. This year, without the steadying hand that was Mvoto, I am doubly concerned. Was at total fault for their second goal. Lost possession whilst too far up the field and never recovered. If I see him wave both his hands in the air like a oil stained bird attempting flight one more time ........ Grrrr For me, both Mellor and Tarky need replacing. Feel sorry for Mellor as what was a promising end to last season playing in his preferred role has been ruined. I do think LJ has assembled what looks like to be a decent squad, with the obvious exception, however the lack of presence at the heart of our back 4 will undoubtably cost us.

Thanks for the memories. He had a hand in everything that was good about last season. Liverpool, Everton, Bury, to name but a few. I have to admit, I thought he was a cart horse at the start of the season, some say he still is - thankfully, he came good at important times. Good luck - he's living the dream.

Please someone, send this guy a remote

Not during the game though. Like a previous poster said, all of a sudden the £10 offer isn't seen as a gimmick but as an entitlement. I'm sorry, but if you think that £2 a game for watching league football isn't a good incentive then you are deluded

Didums

Perhaps I'm in the minority, but I'm afraid he's not one for me. Seems to have a fair bit of industry, can't knock him for a lack of effort, which is commendable, however in terms of an eye for goal, he hasn't shown anything in my opinion. He's neither a poacher, fox in the box type or target man. One of those players who seems to get there half a yard after the ball has gone. No doubting he's tried though, but such a low return in goals to games speaks volumes. Maybe a longer run with Smith may have seen better results.

Yes, defo a concern. Simpson in the same boat, although a 2 game enforced rest might do him good! Can't see Jose getting through the next 2 games unscathed.

Green by any chance?

Do I spoil it if I mention tineye?

Off - as per the fistul STFC website

Tops off a fantastic week. These spells are few and far between. Lets enjoy them while we can. Onwards and upwards.

lets hope it placates the tossers (tossors if you are American) who quite evidently appear to despise any type of authority figure. Have an opinion sure, but start throwing out insults only when you've got a million or so to flush down the drain yourselves.
