    On top of the usual Season Ticket advantages, all ST holders will get a little bit of (extra?) atmosphere added to the match-day experience. There, that's your freebie sorted; go along and enjoy!!

    How does that in any way support an argument for not using Loan Players? Do you want want players to regress in their time here? And what's that got to do with anything anyway? The point of loans is, or should be, that we get players with ability and/or potential that would otherwise not be available to us with our club size, budget or whatever. And Loan or Contracted, they should improve, and whilst they are here they should help the club get points and hopefully success.

    I would disagree about Burgess having a worse game than Edmundson, both from seeing them live and having just reviewed the highlights. And with regards to having different views, for me personally, it makes zero difference, loanee or contracted; while they wear the shirt, they're Oldham players full stop.

    To be fair to him, Burgess suffered from losing the help of Clarke alongside him, and simultaneously having to keep an eye on Edmundson.

    Edmundson's performance against Carlisle showed very well that he needs regular games for a while before he will be anywhere near ready for the first team.

    And you think that we had a good chance of, at the same cost, alternatively buying players of similar playing value? So, a reason to not loan players, is that we get players whom we otherwise have little chance of otherwise obtaining the services of?

    The latter quote was my point, or the proof thereof.

    This makes the massive (and false) assumption that loan players that do care, and do well, will never end up with permanent contracts. You could argue that a 'try before you buy' policy simply helps us to not waste money signing players on multi-year contracts who then turn out to be not what we want, and we can't shift them.

    Is this anything more than a random rumour?

    For all Bradford's multitude of chances, there was only one where I held my head and thought 'We've got away with one there', and that was in the first half. Penalty decision was soft, maybe technically correct in today's game but still it could easily have been turned down.

    Anyone know how many away seats there are at Valley Parade?

    Think that's being a tad harsh. There are various good reasons why a fan may not feel able to attend games; these usually revolve around money and/or geography. Personally though, I think that "they knocked down the bar next door" or "the football is boring" or "I think the chairman is a %£$%£%" just do not count.

    Do you know how many of those were away fans?

    Don't we all?

    What a club is valued at (whatever method you use) and what an owner wants to satisfy his or her exit strategy are essentially two completely different items, and can be vastly different, either way.

    That does sound a bit hasty, although there is then the all-important consideration of attitude, both on and off the pitch. Having the wrong flavour of this can, and should get anyone a swift exit out of the door. Not alleging that this is the case though in this example.

    The management will likely have had the benefit of seeing trialists up close and personal in training too, and the friendly might be only a small part of the decision. Also, the management have the advantage of knowing what they are talking about unlike the vast majority (some exceptions of course) of us supporters.

    A rare (our only?) two year contract. Some-one must have some faith in him!

    Why is there no "Ollie Banks Signs" thread? Am I missing something? Is no-one bothered? Has no-one noticed? Am confused!!!!

    Noticed it happening at the cricket the other night. Looks like everyone will be at it, at least for a while.

    Have I missed something? Nothing on the official site or Latics Player regarding either an interview or a Ripley signing, as far as I can see...... or is this a Ripley Believe it or Not??
