Ah right cheers - that'll teach me to read linky things before posting!!

99% sure it's Stuart Holden from Boltons brother, hope he's as good!!

We are turning the air Blue.... *get's coat*

Drive by in the low ride...

I am upset we only scored 5 given that the chubby one from Blue appears to have been Rhyl's Keeper...

BP1960 - I'll make an effort to slow it down.. PA Announcers nightmare is not having finished reading everything by the time of kick off!

OK - I'll bite, mainly because this is wholly inaccurate, and the only Killers song I have played is Mr Brightside... Whatever people think of my ability to do the job I don't think it can be questioned that I have listened to people with regards to music and the music has changed accordingly... However should you wish to have an adult conversation about it then I will listen to any suggestions that you may have.... Laticsfan345 - I am not aware of any announcements you wanted doing?

Lags - Thanks for the comments, much appreciated. I am pleased that the music seems to be going down well.. When I had my first season ticket, 22 years ago, and when we were good, I always remembered us coming out to "Fanfare for the Comman Man" I am hoping it will evoke some good memories! I did wish the Bristol fans a safe but lousy journey home, but I did wish them all a very warm welcome to Boundary Park and hope that they enjoyed the day as well.... It was all meant in good spirits.. As for the shoe comment, I happen the think they are very snazzy!!! On a different note, the reaction Mark Halsey got today made me proud to be a Latic, superb response, and he made a point of thanking me at half time for mentioning it, I know he was touched by the superb response he got.. As for the guy doing the Huddersfield PA, I supect he has been doing it longer than 4 games... However, not sure about the way he kept mentioning the Championship, Norwich they are not!

Dish - Cheers, as far as I know the music selection doesn't have to be approved by anyone, the 2 bands you have suggested will both be featured at Tuesdays game and were already in my thoughts as local bands with a Latics connection. For instance, I know at least 1 of The Courteeners is an Oldham fan, as they have just toured with The Whip, again, an Oldham band... The problem with music is that it is massively subjective, we appear to have similar tastes and want to hear the same sort of things, however out of the 3,500 who regularly go this only makes up a certain percentage, some will like pop, some dance etc... However I think the main themes should be to get locals bands on there and to keep it upbeat... Thus The Inspirals and Twisted Wheel are great examples of bands to play.... I am sure the powers that be will tell me in no uncertain terms if they don't like the choices on Tuesday!! All of todays suggestions I have written down and genuinely taken on board with the hope of getting a better matchday experience for everyone..

Am a decent 5-a-side keeper! Filling the goal and all that!

Some really good suggestions and ideas, that will be taken on board. Thank you. With Regards to half time, I agree that we don't do anything and their should be some form of game / entertainment to warm us all up. We had the Crossbar challenge last year, are we thinking something similar? Some form of Skills school type thing? So, if anyone has any specific ideas I will happily take them to the powers that be and see if we can get something sorted. Next Time we have a returning legend for the half time draw there will be more questions asked. I also know the club have some new PA equipment and hopefully all will be fine on Tuesday with the speakers in The Chaddy and RRE.

Beag, Thanks for this, I think that is a superb post and will be taken on board, constructive and helpful Cheers

Having Done the PA on Saturday I can say that Mouldy Old Dough wasn't played as the teams came out. It was played in the build up to the game at around 2:50. The team came out to a track by The Whip called "Trash" granted not the best title for a song for chosen run out music, but it is upbeat! Personally I think that there is a place for MOD as it is an all time Latics anthem, though I don't think it's run out music. That said hopefully Franny will have recovered from illness to be back for the Leeds game

Signed this morning, dunno if it's already been posted. Good signing for them, would have been a great Gregan replacement

I worked with Jim for a while at The Chron, Great Bloke and Latics through and through, all thoughts to his family at this time RIP Jim
