BLUMAX

Nobody has mentioned the Yard dogs yet, Milligan and Henry,shed loads of bottle the pair of them.Also,class a hard player by what he can take not dish out, Little lads Dennis Irwin and Mark Ward used to get kicked all over the park but carried on regardless!

Its forecast to clear Tuesday morning, looks like no reprieve from this match

Damn!

Looking at the Weather tonight and tomorrows forecast it might be called off

It sounds ridiculous......but the PNE game was also in the cricket season.

 

We have an awful lot of local league players / committee members (and children) who are heavily involved in many of the local leagues. Certainly enough that considering our small support, it could amount to 10/15% of our travelling following at that stage of the season.

Cricket Season and School Holidays.Youre right about the Cricket,most away matches see lots of players and officials from Royton, Crompton, Shaw,Werneth, Austerlands, Glodwick, Heyside (take a mini bus) and Moorside

Originally an 80's song by Depeche mode. Sang by Celtic mainly

Good chance it was written by Erasures Vince Clarke who was with the band at that time,saw em at Fagins with Blancmagne.! Living on the Ceiling, theres a tune to convert into a Football song, "Hes got them running round and round.....

Would have suited Ibhere yesterday,has he got a Club yet?

I believe latics dont make anything on the extra revenue that is taken at the refreshments area. This is a real downer on the cheap promotion games because that is one area where people do spend cash that would make it easier to offer more discount tickets. Saying after today its hard to see many wanting to return cheap ticket or not.

Ran out in the Chaddy after half an hour,no food left.This does make us look clueless!

Oldham Athletic were much much better than we are now before the Premier League.......:-(

Without a shadow of a doubt

Did they used to allow keepers to pick up back passes?

 

 

Bet that rule has only changed in the last 25 years Keiran, In fact (edited) 1992 ,Just googled it!

 

Fair enough, but don't you think the club needs a kit which everyone can identify with instead of copying common designs?

It was actually that kit which drew me to the club as a kid back in the late 1950s, I thought the kit was different to any others (well maybe apart from Ajax's red) and I had a found team with some uniqueness.

 

The Latics 1962 kit is mentioned here as one of the classic designs;

Quote:"this remains the definitive Oldham kit".

What about the Carlisle 74 one but with Tangerine instead of Red separating the white/blue?

Does another Striker suggest Forte may be on his way?

And I wonder what our new Commercial Director, with his desire to engage with supporters, makes of all this?

I was just going to say the same,how ironic that he does this on a day when the new Commercial Director is unveiled, Best of luck Mark Moisley, you are going to need it,and some!

Mrs. S. and I were both born at Boundary Park Hospital, and it makes us even more proud to know that the delivery room has a view of part of the pitch.

It was surreal, I had only been in the room about 30 seconds if that when he scored,I was waiting for my wife to come round and daughter to be transferred to special care. Seemed like slow motion but it was a lot quicker when I saw the replay,I must have been in shock with her being 10 week early!

First game took my lad to was Blackpool at home (2000) Which sent them down to the bottom division.He was 3 at the time,we went straight to the game that day from Special care baby unit where my 5 week old daughter was on her fifth week of seven.

He did Something that day that I hadn't done in the previous 30 years supporting the Club,he asked to go for a dump with 5 minutes to go! Went to the bogs,heard a big cheer,only goal of the game!!! Thanks son! Yes,hes still going.

Ironically.with my daughter being on Special care I had missed a few games,the last goal I saw that season was the day she was born, Andy Holt v Cambridge,saw it from Delivery room 9 as a nurse had just tipped me off that I could see a third of the pitch from there!

Frying Pan-Fire anyone?

6 promotions in 10 years and climbing from non league obscurity to league 1 is brilliant however 3000 home fans suggests to me that there's not much scope for it to continue.

Colne Dynamos and Rushden and Diamonds Spring to mind!

The Strawberry Gardens pub about 5 mins walk from the ground. Really friendly with loads of real ale. Apparently he owns and runs it!

Syd and his wife run the Kitchen as an independent business to the Pub,worked hard today keeping the faithfull fed!

Bywater has left Millwall today and is looking for a club. A few months in his hometown maybe?

Thought he was from Heywood?

Lee - I`m afraid you'll have to have it - because it's true ! At times, we've had truly awful support - even Man City away (again in the 80s) - I remember we were in the small bit of the Kippax - probably only took about 600 that day - to City (unthinkable now I know).

 

Sunderland away in the FA cup - (70s) - one Latics fan ran onto pitch and planted a balloon in the centre circle - weren't many at Roker Park at all. Away matches didn't seem to be the 'big deal' they were nowadays. Times change.

Apart from Hull,York and Notts County that is, always took loads whenever we played them

Ricardo Fuller had a big spat with the fans at Millwall yesterday,might want a move soon

 

Neither did Wenger or Mourinho

On the other side of the Coin. Brian Robson,Bobby Charlton and Roy Keane never cut it as Managers

Without a doubt, what I found strange was our insistance in playing it out they had 3 or 4 men pressing as a unit, reverting to the good old lump up the field may have made them think twice, they certainly wouldnt of had the legs if we had mixed it up a little.

I agree,well and truly " did a job on us",like Dickov last week,like Ronnie Mooore had a habit of doing on us as well.

Corney said it would be finished for next season Ive no reason to think it wont be.

Wasnt it supposed to be ready by Christmas at one time?

if we can put this game to bed and quickly we could still finish top 8 if we dont we could be looking at a Bradford situation from last season which would be a disaster with a new stand on the way.

New stand? Dont hold your breath!

 

Mind games, too much of that goes on these days frightened of letting the position know your team.

Reminds me of the great Tales about Shankly discussing the oppositions weaknesses before big games,had his players convinced world beaters where just mere Pub players.Think Johnson senior must have done the same yesterday,then our lot went and helped them believe it
